    Any mention or hint of a release date? Considering getting a 7th gen model, but if DELL is close to releasing the new one...

    7th gen desktop CPUs are coming in 2 months time. I believe mobile HQ CPUs are scheduled for 2018 (probably Q1)

    Thanks, if true I'll just go for the 7th gen 17. Strange though as there are already a bunch of laptops out using it - well, the U variant at least.

    Those are Kaby Lake rebrands from what we've seen thus far (consult last week's WAN show for more info). Nothing new or different on them.
