MSI’s newly refreshed C-Series may not appear that savvy, but once you know what’s inside the boxy notebook, there’s no thinking twice that this is one heck of a notebook.

The CR620 models are all built on Intel’s Arrandale platform and feature new Core i3 or Core i5 processors. The notebooks’ powerful image processing cores are capable of transmitting HD images and combine with backlit 16:9 cinematic HD displays (1366 x 768) to offer the ultimate viewing experience. Each of the three model features 4GB of DDR 3 memory, either a 320 or 500GB hard drive and the CR620-033 comes with a Blu-ray DVD combo drive. MSI also upgrade all of the CR620 models with a raised chiclet keyboard for grater accuracy and comfort while typing.

The 16-inch CR600 and 15.6 inch CR620-030, CR620-033 and CR620-031 all feature the Windows 7 Home Premium Operating System and HD displays to deliver amazing performance in a stylish notebook. The CR600 features the NVIDIA’s GeForce 8200M, and like the other Classic models, is loaded with an 802.11 b/g/ n high speed wireless connection, an HDMI out port and a built-in 1.3MP webcam with MSI’s Easy Image Recording tools.

The MSI C-Series notebooks start at $529.99 and may top at $699.
