Review: So far a great laptop. It's lighter and more powerful than my old Acer Predator and generates half the heat. The keyboard function keys are weird to get used to but you get used to it. The sleep function...this laptop does not like sleeping. It randomly wakes up for no reason lol Gaming, this laptop does what I bought it to do, and does it well. Again, with less heat than my previous laptops. The ports are all stiff and solid, which you want. USBs dont wiggle at all and dont randomly fall out. The buttons feel great to press, soothing for my autism. The wifi adapter on here is really strong, way stronger than my old laptop. The 4070 and Ryzen 9 combo are fantastic for pretty and intense games like Helldivers. NOTE: if you have trouble with the built in crosshair (which is usefull tbh), then go to the settings for it and disable the option allowing you to move it with cursor. Works wonders so your game stops switching to desktop.
Review: Llego en tiempo y forma, es muy buena compra. Especialmente si la ocupas para, arquitectura, ingeniería o gaming. Un punto en contra es su peso, y que es 100% de plástico a diferencia de la ROG Strix 16" y por el precio la Katana ya debería de tener aluminio. Procesador: Ryzen 7 Gráfica: 4060 8GB VRAM

Muy buenas especificaciones. No he tenido ningún inconveniente en este primer mes de uso. Funciona súper rápido con programas como Revit Autocad y Twinmotion. El único detalle es que en algunas ocasiones siento que se sobrecalienta mas de lo que debería y la batería prácticamente no rinde mucho. Si está en oferta súper recomendable
