Customers are saying

Customers find value in the Katana 15's powerful performance and impressive graphics capabilities, frequently praising its ability to handle demanding games smoothly. While some users noted the fan noise during intense use and shorter battery life compared to other laptops, many appreciate the overall value considering its price point. The laptop's RAM is also a plus, with some users upgrading it for even better performance. However, the build quality is perceived by some as less premium than higher-priced competitors.

    Good quality build and thankfully it had an AMD instead of Intel - never thought I'd say that.

    need more VRAM

    I think that 8GB VRAM is not enough. They even gave away game that you can play with low settings because of this limitation.... Other then that i guess it's ok, but not for long...

    It's definitely a powerful laptop, the problem is the screen is terrible. It's super blurry and has a ton of ghosting, this laptop is SUPPOSED to support Display overdrive to reduce ghosting, but after recieving an update, I lost access to Display overdrive, and it's unbearable.

    Do not trust Best Buy's advertising. They lie.

    Best Buy's advertisement promised a $100 game as part of the bundle at the time I purchased this computer several weeks ago. Best Buy has failed to provide the code for the game. Fraudulent business practices like this are harmful to a company's reputation, and are illegal. It's unfortunate that a company like this would lie in their advertising and basically steal money from their customers during a holiday season.

    Someone needs to explain to me why I paid for a laptop with a RTX 4070 graphics card and Best Buy sent me one with a Radeon 780M card. That is not what the advertisement says and the 470 is better than a 780M.

    After reviewing the reviews and looking at the photos for this product, I want to express my opinion.: This is a very powerful laptop, and it can give odds to other laptops in the same price range. I choose this product 100%!!!

    Super slow and glitches

    This laptop has caused nothing but issues for me. I have taken it back to the geek squad three times in the past four months to figure out what is wrong with the computer and not working correctly, but they have been unable to identify the problem and just send me back home with the problem still continuing. I would highly recommend buying another brand laptop before wasting your money on trash.
