Also, 4060 is a worse gpu than a 3060. On games that it gets more fps
The 4060 (if it's running 90-100W or higher) is 5-15% faster than a 140W 3060... based on reviews from; Jarrod's Tech, Notebookcheck, and Hubwood.
The 4050,4060, and 4070 GPUs are voltage limited and will not boost past 100W regardless of their TGP. So this laptop is very close to being full power. It needs boost to get to 105W, standard with significant CPU is 85W.
The display is very low spec... the worst feature IMO.

If you're happy now, I'd say stick with what you have. I have a Legion 5 Pro 5800H/3070 140w that I upgraded to 32GB and 3TB of storage. Runs everything well in widescreen at 3440x1440. I'd love to upgrade or build another machine but it's such a hassle to get a new machine in place and redownload games, etc. Especially with prices going up and down, if it were me, I'd wait for a better machine like a Legion 5 Pro with a good screen and proven thermals, performance, etc.
Why are 2023 models being released with 12th gen CPUs?
Because a 4060 is so weak it doesn't need a better CPU, it's not bottlenecked by a 12th Gen CPU. Plus it's added cost to the overall laptop to use a 13th Gen CPU.
MSI Katana gives great specs for te price, but the build quality is among the worst I've ever owned. I bought the 3060 version last year and it works for a desktop replacement but is not a laptop you can take places and use as an actual laptop. Chassis is made from such cheap plastic the hinges will snap with minimal use. Battery is awful. Fan is loud. Brick is huge etc. If you know the risks and like the specs, it can work, just don't think you're getting a proper laptop.

Much better build quality, better screen specs, more SSD, and on-par graphics.
