Frequently Asked Questions
How much video memory does the RTX 5060 in this Katana 15 have?
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 here carries 8 GB of GDDR7 memory. The GDDR7 standard is newer than the GDDR6 found in many competing laptops, though 8 GB is on the modest side for QHD gaming.
Can the display's 165Hz refresh rate be used for competitive gaming?
Yes. The 15.6-inch panel refreshes at 165Hz at its native 2560 x 1440 resolution, which suits fast-paced competitive titles, and its 100% DCI-P3 coverage also helps with color-aware work.
How much memory and storage does this configuration include?
It ships with 32 GB of DDR5-5600 memory and a 1 TB NVMe M.2 SSD. That combination targets smooth multitasking and rapid file transfers without needing an immediate upgrade.
Is this laptop practical to carry around day to day?
It weighs 5.29 lbs and measures 0.99 inches thick, plus it needs a 240 W adapter. It's transportable but heavier than an ultrabook, so it favors desk-based use over frequent travel.
What operating system comes installed on the Katana 15 HX?
Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed. The Pro edition adds features such as BitLocker and Remote Desktop over Home, so it's ready for both gaming and work tasks out of the box.
What ports are available for connecting peripherals and displays?
It offers one USB-C port with DisplayPort and Power Delivery at 10Gbps, three 10Gbps USB-A ports, RJ-45 Ethernet, and a headphone/microphone combo jack, alongside Bluetooth 5.3.
