Reviews for the MSI Katana GF66 12UC-077

MSI Katana GF66 (2022) Review
Source: Noteb (YT) English
In conclusion, is the MSI Katana GF66 worth it? Well, maybe with some hefty discounts. The machine has decent gaming performance, and for the right price, it would be great for a gamer on a tight budget. But the screen and the low-quality chassis are very off-putting, so it is better to save a few more bucks and get a Nitro 5 or a Legion 5 instead.

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.
