great gaming laptop
great quality gaming laptop, i love the personalization abilities, battery life is amazing if ur not running anything too crazy, the only thing, is i let it overheat a lil (not sure how hot it got exactly) and it froze, so i took the bottom panel off and let it sit like that, and it took about 48hrs to cool back down enough to where it was usable, but im pretty sure thats more my fault than the laptop itself, i would recommend, i would say u definitely get what u pay for with this one

Looping
After on year of use, this product went in to a looping on and off, now I will have to send for repair, do not recommend this product, unless you have longer warranty attached.

Now, this is what I have been waiting for!
It works great. Love MSI Center. Does not crash or hang up. All of my old games load and play. Did not work like that before. Automatically sets compatibility modes and asks if worked or not so can adjust or Leave the settings. Been spot on every time. Running new games on extreme and high settings. No issues at all. Forza Horizon 5, Red Dead Redemption, etc.... are real cool. No issues. The graphics are OUTSTANDING. On Laptop screen and on my 70" TV. Worth the price. Spent enough money on things that should work. This DOES work. Quite nicely. Uninstaller One Drive cloud crap and Microsoft 365 so I don't lose my pictures and they are not interfering with other important things. Sure like the Start menu a lot better. Simple and easy.

Nice gaming laptop!
Got this for my son and he loves it. It doesn’t overheat, has great performance, and the WiFi is modern for zippy downloads.

Great for Gaming, Adequate for Work/Travel
For the price, the specs are very nice. Most laptops with these specs would cost typically $1800. The laptop performs great when playing games and doing any type of work with its fast processor and quick gpu. The RAM is nice for multitasking and ensuring smooth gameplay. However, there are a few downsides about this laptop which I will list below: 1. Poor, poor battery life. Expect maybe 2 hours of use when running on battery life even for casual browsing and whatnot. Performance on these types of laptops drop significantly when not plugged in. 2. The keyboard feels a little on the cheap side. The keyboard on this laptop feels slightly worse than the keyboard on my $800 acer laptop. The customizable backlights are nice, but I would rather have better keys than cool aesthetics. 3. If you want to install a camera blocker on this, like the ones that you can slide open and closed, than too bad. The rubber bumper hugs the top of the camera making it impossible to do so. I guess a piece of tape would work though. Overall, for the price, it is well worth the purchase. If you plan on using this a lot for traveling and doing work, where you will run it on battery power, than definitely do not get this laptop. If you plan to use this where you were going to have it plugged in a lot and are an avid game player, then this laptop is definitely for you. The large screen is great, The specs are powerful, and it is a great value laptop.

Really good gaming laptop for the price.
Fast, nice display, and doesn't overheat. This is my third MSI gaming laptop and I'm happy with it. The only drawback is all the junk Windows 11 loads onto the laptop. Not MSI's fault. It occurs on any Windows 11 system, but takes time and patience to try to eliminate all the junk. Just setting up the screen saver takes going to FOUR different windows and setting the options one at a time. C'mon Microsoft! And you can't delete some of the more annoying Windows junk programs. MS Windows is a tyrant.

Unstable fps. Windows 11. Bad delivery methods.
Before reading this review, keep in mind that the sample size is 1(ONE) laptop. I cannot say for certain that all laptops of these series are bad, but i can say that 100% of this series of laptops that i have purchased (1 btw) is complete dog poo. tl;dr -delivery is nightmare for working class stiff (unless WFH) -all this bloatware that comes pre-attached with windows 11, and nvidia drivers, as well as norton anti-virus (LOL) which you CANNOT shut off -frame rate in this copy was dog poo, (extremely unstable hitting lows of 30, highs of 200, average about 40fps) -absolutely chugging when it comes to, say, 100 tabs (don't look at me like that, there are people like me out there) =was unable to test durability because it was returned in the first week =did not test battery life, as was plugged in from the start and being sent back =did not test speakers or keyboard or touchpad because i like my physical addons +1tb ssd seems cool i guess. people pay good money for this component alone +physically, structure is flat and airflow seems pretty decent without any addons +screen seems pretty huge for a laptop Overall 3/10 mediocre for gaming terrible for work bad for multitasking If you want a computer that can do what this one does, buy an actual computer with parts you can change out. you're paying a huge premium to have this amount of tech be portable. Unnecessary Rant: Why on earth does a 1,300$ laptop "made" "FOR GAMING" hit 30 fps in ye-olden games such as -dota 2 -league of legends (literally made with potato pc's in mind) -Team fortress 2 Admittedly ran Battlefield 2042 pretty well with minor hiccups, but i run every game at min settings?? sure, it hits 200 fps (ON OCCASION), but the monitor's refresh rate is 144??? so what's the point of going all the way up to 200 and then shooting down to 30???? The fps simply isn't stable, and jumps from 30 to 200, averaging maybe 40 from what i can tell? Last 7 year old msi laptop that was literally coming apart at the seams was performing better in these games, and it was gtx 1060. I bought this laptop to replace it, thinking i was buying cutting edge. if this is cutting edge..... Also prone to freezing when simply alt tabbing from games to work, and freezing when loading too many tabs on browser of your choice (admittedly, this was a limit test of hardware capabilities) Delivery was a nightmare, though it was the better of two evils. Amazon delivery gave prediction from 0800-2200 of certain day, so I had to call out of work. I did not respond in the 5 minute window in which they told me delivery man was present (partially my fault i guess, but a 5 minute window from a 14 hour window???) next day, i took another day off from work to sit outside 40 mins in advance (when notification said delivery driver was 9 stops away). Amazon driver required my passcode to be entered into his device before he could give me the item. The other option was to leave it on doorstep and pray a porch pirate does not find it, which would be worse. Recommended to buy this stuff directly from a store, or utilize a third party drop off.

Amazing laptop.
I love the laptop. The price for the performance is amazing. MY only downside is the battery life. This must be the area of saving. But it has a great cooling system and has not come close to over heating while running and plugged in.

En el competitivo universo de las laptops gaming, el equilibrio es un arte. Es fácil encontrar máquinas con una GPU potente pero un CPU que le hace de cuello de botella, o con un hardware increíble pero un sistema de enfriamiento deficiente que lo ahoga. He probado la MSI Katana 17 B13VFK y puedo afirmar que MSI no solo ha encontrado el equilibrio, lo ha perfeccionado. Esta no es una simple actualización, es un salto generacional. El Veredicto del Campo de Batalla: Rendimiento Real Dejemos los números de lado por un segundo y hablemos de experiencia. He sometido a esta Katana a todo: Cyberpunk 2077 con Ray Tracing en Ultra, sesiones maratónicas de Apex Legends buscando los 144 FPS estables, y renderizado de video en 4K. El resultado es consistentemente impresionante. La Trifecta de Poder (i7-13th Gen + RTX 4060 + 32GB DDR5): Este es el corazón de la bestia. El Intel Core i7 de 13ª generación gestiona la física del juego y las tareas en segundo plano sin sudar, mientras la GeForce RTX 4060 se dedica a lo que mejor sabe hacer: generar fotogramas a una velocidad absurda. Gracias a la magia de DLSS 3 y Frame Generation, juegos que antes ponían de rodillas a portátiles de gama alta ahora fluyen con una suavidad cinematográfica. Los 32GB de RAM DDR5 aseguran que no haya tirones ni cuelgues, sin importar cuántas aplicaciones tengas abiertas mientras juegas. La Experiencia Visual es Impecable: La potencia de la RTX 4060 sería un desperdicio sin una pantalla que pueda seguirle el ritmo. Y esta lo hace. El panel FHD de 17.3 pulgadas a 144Hz es el compañero perfecto. Los movimientos son increíblemente fluidos, la respuesta es instantánea y los colores son vibrantes. Combinado con el SSD NVMe de 1TB, se acabaron las pausas para el café mientras esperas a que cargue el mapa. El sistema y los juegos se inician en un parpadeo. El Héroe Silencioso: Cooler Boost 5: Aquí es donde muchas laptops fallan. La potencia genera calor, y el calor provoca "thermal throttling" (una reducción del rendimiento para evitar el sobrecalentamiento). El sistema Cooler Boost 5 de MSI es agresivo y eficaz. Puedes sentir cómo expulsa el aire caliente, manteniendo el CPU y la GPU a temperaturas óptimas. Esta no es una bestia que ruge por dos minutos y luego se ahoga; está diseñada para mantener el rendimiento máximo durante horas. Conclusión: ¿Para Quién es esta Katana? La MSI Katana 17 B13VFK-835US no es para el jugador casual. Es una herramienta de precisión para quien se toma el rendimiento en serio. El Gamer Competitivo: Que necesita cada fotograma por segundo para tener la ventaja. El Entusiasta de los AAA: Que quiere disfrutar de los últimos lanzamientos con la configuración gráfica al máximo. El Creador de Contenido/Estudiante de Ingeniería: Que necesita una máquina capaz de compilar código, renderizar modelos 3D o editar video con la misma facilidad con la que corre un juego. MSI ha creado una máquina increíblemente bien balanceada, donde cada componente trabaja en perfecta armonía. Si buscas un rendimiento de escritorio en un formato portátil que no haga concesiones en los aspectos clave, has encontrado tu arma. Es una inversión inteligente y, sin duda, una de las laptops gaming más completas

Tal cual la descripción, excelente la paquetería de Amazon llegó en perfecto estado tanto la caja como la laptop! Ninguna queja perfecta para gamers de alta demanda. Aclaro no es la más Top quizá pero en juegos de primera rinde muy bien según mi hijo!

Excelente, llevo mas de dos años y con su servicio de limpieza básico sigue estando al 100%

Muy mal producto, a las pocas veces de uso dejó de prender y no hay quien solucione la garantía en México, así que no lo recomiendo Actualización: Al final sí se pudo tramitar la garantía en México, la empresa reparó el equipo y pagó los envíos, ya todo funcionando

La compré en el PrimeDay y me salió a muy buen precio (23.4k); pensé que vendría mal o que era caja abierta por el precio, pero venía en caja con sellos originales de MSI. A tener en cuenta URGENTE!! La lap corre de maravilla con juegos o aplicaciones que no son muy pesadas; Si bien esta reseña debe ser solo para la laptop MSI en general y no solo por el procesador Intel, ya me falló en 3 ocasiones (se queda en freeze o simplemente deja de responder y toca reinicio forzoso con juegos muy pesados); por lo que le pongo 4 estrellas ya que desde Febrero 2024 está la noticia de que los procesadores Intel de 13a y 14a generación Raptor Lake han estado teniendo problemas y a fecha de Agosto 2024 aún no hay solución. Si bien este procesador no viene con overclock, intenta no forzarlo (no modifiques voltajes e intentes overclock ni con la aplicación oficial MSI, espérate un poco porque que según en estas fechas saldrá un microcódigo/parche de Intel que "solucionará el problema"), pues según los chips que empiezan a fallar, ya no tendrán solución (o eso se dice allá en la internet, busca foros y noticias sobre esto antes de tomar una decisión de compra). Lo bueno Sé que es modelo 2023, pero qué importa si la MoBo permite un upgrade a 64GB de RAM de hasta 5200 MHz de reloj DDR5 y ponerle un segundo SSD M2 de 4ta generación (para este segundo SSD hay que ponerse en contacto con MSI para pedir el bracket). La batería va a variar dependiendo en qué uses la laptop. Cuando juegas con pura batería, este puede durarte incluso solo unos 40 minutos con juegos muy pesados, mientras que si solo la usas para navegar, puede durarte casi 5 horas si apagas el teclado, reduces el brillo de la pantalla y pones el modo optimización. Aún no la he probado con batería en modo super ahorro para ver qué tanto tiempo da. Puedes activar los ventiladores manualmente y subirán hasta las 6000 rpm. La temperatura de operación que he alcanzado con juegos pesados son aprox 95°C. En temperatura normal estará operando entre los 40°C y 50°C, éstas últimas dependerán qué uses, dónde pongas la laptop y el cuarto donde estés). Conclusión Es una buena laptop de gama media; solo hay que estar pendientes de las noticias de Intel.
