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.

Every app on my phone has decided I need AI, and none of them bothered to ask
AI assistants are invading everything from photo libraries to messaging apps, and dismissing them only seems to guarantee they’ll return later.

My wife doesn’t use AI very much. She isn’t philosophically opposed to it, nor is she waiting for the machines to overthrow civilization. She simply opens Google Photos because she wants to look at her photos.

Lately, however, the app keeps greeting her with invitations to try its AI tools. Google would very much like her to search her library conversationally, generate something new, or ask Gemini to edit a photo. She dismisses the prompt, gets on with her life, and eventually meets it again.

Shopping for Back-to-school? These are the gaming laptops I’d recommend
Powerful enough for AAA games, practical enough for everyday lectures, assignments, and everything in between.

Every gamer knows the pain of trying to do too much with the wrong hardware. Back-to-School is the perfect excuse to fix that. A good gaming laptop shouldn’t just hit high frame rates -- it should also survive endless browser tabs, assignments, coding sessions, video edits, and everything else college throws at it. These five machines strike that balance better than most, which is exactly why they’d be my picks this semester.

If you look at the AI landscape, a majority of its usage in the film and television industry has been pretty controversial. Bringing dead actors to life on a screen, using AI to record vintage songs that were never completed, or just using it to film scenes or handle any other part of the creative process — the backlash has been pretty vocal. But there are a few slivers of hopeful AI usage, too, and Google just delivered one of those in a heartwarming fashion using Gemini AI.
