    MSI Katana 15 i5 - RTX4050 8GB video card and 16GB memory card.

    The gaming laptop is doing well, just played DOTA games, not to bad. Just don't forget to change the HZ in settings from 60HZ to 144HZ to enjoy the speed and resolution while playing games, otherwise you will have small bit of lag and issue while playing. overall very responsive laptop.
