Source: Root Nation
MSI Katana GF66 11UD is an example of a well-balanced gaming laptop that is capable of offering a sufficient level of performance for the segment, albeit not a record. At the same time, it managed not to fail in many other aspects. Thus, the user has his hands free for the future upgrade of individual internal components, the laptop has a sufficient number of ports, as well as a keyboard suitable for all tasks. Of course, the situation with the display turned out to be twofold. On the one hand, the refresh rate of 144 Hz is a nice feature of the device, but the picture quality itself is average, which is why the laptop can not be recommended for more or less substantial work with images or videos, if we are not talking about an external monitor, of course. The rest makes it a quite normal, versatile device. Well, those, who feels that bundle of Intel Core i5-11400H processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti video card is not enough, can always consider options MSI Katana GF66 with more powerful graphics adapters. As we found out, there are a lot of them and it will be possible to pick up something more powerful.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
