msi katana B12V
Very fast laptop, I take a gaming not to play but to do video editing and use the cuda video card. Disappointed by the audio lacks the bass hp that I had on the msi gt72, remains the headphone output which by the way also makes microphone input. the screen is correct without more. I've connected a 2Tb ssd but it's missing the support for the ssd fixing screw, so I'm forced to use an adhesive to immobilise it, which is a shame for msi and a lack of respect for the customer. Compared to the inflation of laptops, this model is well positioned. If you want to avoid price gouging, increase the memory and storage yourself. In short, I don't know if I'll stay loyal to MSI. Now nothing to say about LDLC everything is OK.

MSI Katana 17 B12VFK-206EN
Computer received very quickly, in perfect condition (very very well packaged). Handling is top notch, the computer corresponds perfectly to my expectations (powerful to run several programs such as the Adobe suite) with a magnificent 17" screen. It's not very noisy despite the power it packs!
The design is very elegant for a gamer PC (I was a bit scared before I got it), and the keyboard and pad are very pleasant.
If you're interested, you can change the colour and intensity of the keyboard light!
Great value for money.Review automatically translated -

very good computer
They arrive quickly as usual with LDLC.
The only problem is that they are all made of plastic.
The only problem is that they're all made of plastic, so I wouldn't have minded spending an extra hundred euros for a full magnesium case.Review automatically translated -

Excellent
fast delivery, well packaged...etc (as usual with LDLC )
I have not yet had time to test the PC and push it, but the design, screen and keyboard are really good.
the plus: compared to my previous PC, without saying that it is totally silent, it is definitely less noisy.
I recommend it :)Review automatically translated -

Delivery in the DOM at the top, very fast
Very good PC, the screen is a bit disappointing for a PC at this price (not bright enough for my taste).
The fan is very quiet for office use and very decent in terms of noise for gaming sessions.
The MSI logo coloured in red would have been nice ;-)
Otherwise RAS, good product.Review automatically translated -

Satisfied
Already convinced by MSI for many years, this new purchase does not disappoint! Good performance. I am very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the chassis and keyboard, more premium than I expected.
