If there's one this we learned at the Consumer Electronics show this year, it's that nearly everything in consumer electronics is going green. Case in point: MSI's new "Classic Series" laptops, the CR400, CX600, and CX700. All three feature the company's "ECO power management function," which lets you pick a power usage mode that matches the task you're doing at the time. Examples include gaming, movie, and and presentation modes.

Other than that and the 16:9, movie-style, widescreen aspect ratio, all three laptops are standard entry-level fare and we're expecting that you'll be able to pick them up at affordable prices. The big distinctions between the three models are screen size — the CR400 is 14 inches, the CX600 16 inches, and the CX700 17.3 inches — and the graphics technology. The CX600 and 700 have the mid-range ATI Radeon HD 4330 graphics card with an impressive 512 MB of RAM, while the CR400 just has a modest GeForce 9200M.
