    MSI Intros Class Series CX620/CR620 Notebooks
    [​IMG]
    MSI today announced its most recent notebook offerings, the Classic Series CX620 and CR620 models. Both feature 15.6-inch displays, Intel Core i-series processors, and available discrete graphics. Design features include an island-style keyboard, seamless touchpad, and imprint finish.
    The full specifications are as follows:

    CX620 CR620
    Processor Intel Core i-series
    Graphics Card ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 1GB/Intel HD Graphics Intel HD Graphics
    Display 15.6-inch LED-backlit 16:9 (1366x768)
    Memory Up to 4GB DDR3-1066
    Hard Drive 250-500GB SATA
    Battery 6-cell
    Dimensions 9.75" x 14.73" x 1.38"
    Weight 5.5 pounds

    The notebooks are essentially the same save for the graphics options. The CX620 features switchable graphics; it can dynamically switch between the dedicated ATI graphics card and the integrated Intel graphics card depending on the situation. The CR620 on the other hand only has integrated Intel graphics.
    There is currently no information on pricing or a release date.

    Nice. Any news on release date?

    EDIT: Damn, 1366x768 again? Why no 1600x900 :(?

    I wonder what the battery life difference between the two graphics cards would yield?
