If you are in the market for a gaming laptop without the high price tag, the MSI Katana gaming laptop is currently priced at $1,099, down from its original price of $1,499.99 at Walmart. This model features a midrange RTX 5070 GPU, which is considered a step up compared to the RTX 5060 typically found in other laptops at this price point.
The laptop boasts a 15.6-inch QHD display with a 165Hz refresh rate, an Intel Core i7-14650HX processor, 16GB of DDR5 RAM (which is upgradeable), and a 1TB SSD. The RTX 5070 comes equipped with 8GB of video memory, allowing users to play most games at the laptop’s native QHD resolution with ray tracing settings enabled. For titles that may not run optimally, Nvidia’s DLSS feature can be utilized to improve performance by enhancing lower-resolution graphics. Alternatively, users can lower the game resolution to 1080p.
As part of Intel’s Game Days promotion, purchasing this laptop also includes a free copy of the forthcoming game Battlefield 6. To obtain the game, customers must follow the redemption instructions provided on Walmart’s product page. Proof of purchase must be submitted to Intel by September 30th, and the game code must be redeemed by Halloween.
This offer presents a potentially valuable option for those seeking a capable gaming laptop at a midrange price.
