Just last week MSI announced Core i5 and i3 additions to its Classic Series. Today, the company announced four more affordable additions to that line with one packing a Core i5, two with Core i3s and one with just a lowly Dual-Core Pentium.

With the excpetion of the Dual-Core model, they all come equipped with 4GB of ram, Intel’s GMA HD GPU, and 15.6-inch WXGA screens. The high-end model, however, rocks the Core i5 430M CPU along with a 500GB SATA hard drive. The two Core i3s and the Dual-Core have 320GB drives instead. Interestingly, the $699 Core i3 model has a Blu-ray combo drive while the $729 Core i5 only packs a DVD super drive.

All four models are available now with the CR620-033US ($699) and CR620-031US ($729) selling at Newegg and the CR620-030US ($679) and CR600-234US ($579) shipping directly from MSI.
