The Katana provides a good balance between price & performance, the aesthetic is clean & minimalistic with a good sized display and without excessive weight. The keyboard is clear & pleasant to use, sound quality is good through the speakers and the quality of the display driven by the RTX graphics card is excellent. The only shortcoming for a gaming laptop (one shared by all modern machines in this class) is the lack of a storage drive, especially given that some modern games rely on the speed of ssd storage to perform at their best. Overall a very good product & one that I am very happy with.
