Dell Pro Precision 7 16 (2026 systems?)

Precision name might be making a comeback. But what does "7" mean?

CES is not that far away...

World has really gone insane with this product nomenclature. I was mad at Lenovo for switching the ThinkPad Workstation labeling three times during the last decade, but at least they look settled & logical (for now) with P16 Gen1=>2=>3. Then there is Dell with the Precision 77xx => ProMaxPlus nonsense => Now we are getting a Pro Max Plus Precision hybrid? God no. 

 

And dont even get me started about HP´s mess of a lineup with gems like ZBook 8 G1i 16. 

 

If they really wanted to implement a new nomenclature for the 16:10 models, they could have done Precision M8620 / M8820. M as mobile, 8 for the flagship series, 6/8 for screen size, 20 for the CPU generation (Core 200). And they would be settled for another decade at least. 8820=>8830=>8840 etc. Easy to read, easy to understand, easy to remember. Just like it was before this mess. 

 

 

Sorry about the rant.

Or they could just keep the P of Precision and append the screen size, so... Dell P16 😅

I get you. I'm in the same place. I mean, I am glad to see the "Precision" name return, "Pro Max" seems like it belongs to iPhones. But everything else about it is just confusing, especially if they keep changing it.

I guess it means 5000series, and probably 7000 series is Precision 9?
