82.9% 微星Katana 15笔记本电脑回顾:拥有RTX 4050和Alder Lake CPU的预算游戏机 | Notebookcheck
15英寸的Katana只进行了轻微的改造,配备了RTX 40xx系列的新显卡。与许多竞争对手不同,微星将新的GPU与英特尔的Gen12而不是Gen13 CPU结合起来。作为 "预算 "价格标签,1499.99美元的零售价相当昂贵。卡塔纳仍然值得购买吗?

72% I Tested MSI's $999 Gaming Laptop and Liked Its 1080p Performance but Little Else
Source: CNet English EN→zh-CN
If you want the best frame rates for the lowest price, then it's a solid pick. But you'll need to live with some budget touches, the worst of which is the dim display. If you can extend your gaming laptop budget from $1,000 to around $1,300, then the Acer Nitro V 16S AI or Lenovo Legion 5i provides a brighter display, lighter design, higher-resolution webcam and bump to RTX 5060 graphics along with double the RAM and storage.
