Why you should buy the MSI Katana 15.6-inch gaming laptop

MSI doesn’t feature in our look at the best gaming laptop brands, however the Taiwanese company has been making gaming related hardware for a long time now. With the MSI Katana 15.6-inch gaming laptop, you get mostly everything you could need at this price point. It has a 13th-generation Intel Core i7-13620H processor paired up with 16GB of DDR5 memory and there’s 1TB of SSD storage too.

For the graphics card, as mentioned, there’s an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 with 8GB of dedicated VRAM, so it’s a pretty good option for the price. Alongside the graphics card is its 15.6-inch full HD display. It offers thin bezels, it’s an IPS panel, and it has a refresh rate of 144Hz. That should be more than sufficient for ensuring you don’t have to worry about motion blur when the action is speedy.

Adding to the general feeling that the MSI Katana would like to be one of the best gaming laptops, it also has a 4-zone RGB keyboard with anti-ghost keys, along with Bluetooth 5.2 for connecting your controllers easily. It’s fairly slim for a gaming laptop as well which is always good to see in a world where things can get pretty bulky.

If you want to use the MSI Katana as a desktop replacement, just connect it to one of the best gaming monitors via HDMI and you’re all set. It’s a good all-rounder depending on your plans, and will play the latest games without a hitch.

Normally $1,200, the MSI Katana is down to $998 right now at Walmart which is an attractive deal for sure. Check it out now before the price cut ends very soon.

Apple may be about to give the MacBook Pro one of its biggest upgrades in years, but the MacBook Air apparently has to wait a little longer for its turn.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is planning to refresh the MacBook Air in early 2027. The upcoming model is expected to stick with a non-OLED display, even as Apple prepares to move its higher-end MacBook Pro lineup to OLED and touch support.

Apple's MacBook lineup could soon resemble a restaurant menu with 17 different ways to order a burger. The company is expanding its laptop range across more price points, performance levels, and display technologies, with OLED touchscreens potentially bringing another premium tier into the mix. That's great news for buyers who want options, but Apple's product lineup could use a little decluttering before things get silly.

Moonshot tells Kimi AI to code away, but leave the hacking alone
Moonshot is clipping Kimi AI’s hacking wings before letting it loose
Moonshot AI

Chinese AI startup Moonshot AI is deliberately limiting the hacking capabilities of its latest artificial intelligence model, highlighting a growing dilemma for the industry: how do companies make AI more powerful without making cyberattacks easier to carry out?

The company introduced Kimi K3.1 Pro on October 24, describing it as a highly capable, open-weight model with around 3 trillion parameters. Unlike conventional AI services that operate entirely through a provider's servers, open-weight models allow developers to download the underlying model files, run them on their own systems, and modify how they work.
