As the new performance-oriented 7th generation Intel Core processors as well as NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 and GTX 1050 Ti graphics cards were made official this week, plenty of OEMs have took the opportunity announce new or refreshed products featuring these new chips at CES 2017. Dell is one of them who will begin to offer such products very soon.
