The first ever 16-inch Dell Precision. The Precision 7670 has a lot riding on its shoulders. Not only does it come in two thickness options, but it's also the first commercial product to utilize CAMM RAM and one of the few to ship with the Core i7-12850HX vPro CPU. It's good, but not without some faults.
