sorted byOn the surface it looked great value if you can cope with the small battery.
Now it's an avoid for my usage.
Still a very good if you intend to only use with an external monitor I suppose.

This a better review of this actual model. It's a great price for the specs and would've bought it but no thunderbolt, so a no from me
Basically, it's decent specs for the price for the most part but you have to consider the screen as with any laptop that is one of the main ways you interact with what the CPU and GPU are doing
50% DCI coverage unless planning on external display
Factories in Ireland i believe so anyone living there might get them cheaper
MSI top tier are great but expensive and lower down they're more brute force
The vector Vs the Acer Helios the MSI vector was slightly better in gaming but the screen and user experience was better in the Helios and not just a gaming brute as Jarrod described it but this katana is still an incredible deal especially how much you would have to pay for any! 4000 series to even match it at the moment
And the 4000 series has released with some high power 4070s which is unusual compared to previous years where lower power were released first , and still not showing massive improvement over previous Gen
Plus Nvidia moved the tiers after the 4080 was tested and said to be disappointing so they moved it down and renamed it
The 4070 according to Nvidia is the replacement for the 3060
All about money
You might actually make money reselling this in 6, months LOL
A 120w 3070 absolutely obliterates this.
This is a Katana GF66 12UGSZOK while the notebook check is Katana GF66 12UGS.
Katana GF66 – Sharpen Your Game (msi.com)
Power adapter seems to have gone up to 240W across the board as well since that review. (For the 12UGS variants that is). (edited)
Yes the screen seems bad and it's not latest gen, but 3070ti and 12th gen Intel for £900 is amazing
It's a £900 laptop max. Not really a bargain. (edited)
Big price reduction ahead of the 40 series coming onto the market
There is nothing close to this specs wise at present, although 17.3 inch would be more pleasant
it's well worth it at this price if your looking for gaming laptop at this price range for performance
They want to save people £ but cash ££ in them selfs the i7 12650H is a 10 core processor with 6 performance and 4 eco cores with a high tdp 3070ti still a good processor but a bizarre combo and not worth the rrp prices imo (edited)
Battery life is ridiculously poor, but I tend to move from summerhouse to lounge so my I can use with charger.
My thoughts are it’s a lot of laptop for the price but battery life and build quality have suffered. That said, for £900 it’s a good buy, and whilst I might gripe I would actually recommend it.
Lenovo Legion 5 15.6 FHD IPS ,512GB SSD, AMD Ryzen 7,GPU RTX 3070,RAM 16GB
This looks better I think.
It's the same price .
Legion will be better than this deal but check the screen.
120hz is below average, 144hz is ok (probably would be this one), 165hz and better are pretty nice. If it was a qhd, 1440p, that would make it a really good deal...and you would need to pm me where it is so I can get one before they go out of stock five seconds after you posted it on here as a deal. :P
If you buy this I would suggest hooking it up to an external Monitor and also purchasing a decent keyboard. (edited)
Anyone with the 3070ti model care to find out the actual TDP?
msi.com/Lap…ion
but if it is only 105w then it is not that good a deal.
How bad is the screen for those that have it? (edited)

is now £899. I guess the 3070ti version was a misprice?
