The MSI Katana 15 B8VF-448US is a solid 1080p gaming laptop that’s more reachable than competing RTX 4060-powered laptops. While it’s neither the flashiest nor the most powerful laptop you can buy right now; it still makes a statement as the first gaming laptop. And, it delivers where it counts, especially for those not quite ready to shell out $2,000 on a machine that can play the latest AAA titles at the highest settings possible.

So, if you’re on a limited budget, the MSI Katana A15 AI is among the best midrange gaming laptops to consider. There are a few compromises here and there, including a subdued design and battery life, but the MSI B8VF-448US as a package provides a good quality gaming experience.

After all, even the best gaming machines strike a balance between design, performance, and price; the MSI Katana A15 does just that to reach an affordable price point.
