Every manufacturer should be unveiling their whole new line-up of notebooks with Intel's new Core 2011 CPUs at CES by the end of this week and MSI is following up on Lenovo's onslaught. The company has just updated sixteen of their current notebooks to make room for the new CPUs along with some graphical upgrades as well. The larger G Series notebooks (17.3-inch GT780 and 15.6-inch GT680) will feature the new quad-core Core i7 CPU along with Nvidia GeForce GTX 400 / 500 graphics and dual SSDs. The GT680 will be available later this month for $1,499 while the GT780 will be available in Q2 of this year.

The F Series will also have room for Core i7 CPUs but the new base model of the 14-inch FX420 notebook has a Core i5 CPU and will launch at a $699 price point which seems like it's worth it at this point. Next up is their C Series of notebooks which is going for a whopping eight hours of battery life so you can expect Core i3 CPUs in there because they'll need to save all the power they can. Price and release dates for a bunch of these notebooks are unknown right now but that's typical for MSI.
