Reviews for the MSI Katana GF66 11UG-220

79.2% MSI Katana GF66 11UG review: A gaming laptop with wasted potential | Notebookcheck
Despite being equipped with top hardware, this is what the MSI Katana GF66 delivers. After several benchmarks in our test, the question presents itself whether MSI cut corners in the wrong places. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 and the Intel Core i7-11800H are unable to make use of their full performance potential.
