Selling computer before the new GPUs are released?

Will the price of my gaming laptop drop once the new graphics cards are released onto the market? With intel recently introducing their 8th gen chips, and NVidia soon releasing their 11th gen graphics cards, I am wondering if now would be a good time to sell my laptop. It's got a i7-7700HQ and a GTX 1050, and I've been thinking of getting a lighter one because 5.6 pounds is heavy when I'm carrying it around all the time.

It's about the right time, though the prices wont drop by that much. GTX 1050 is a low-end card after all, there isnt much value for it to lose. What hurts your laptop's selling price is actually 8th gen 45w mobile CPUs, which are already out and dealt their damage

You should sell it before the new architecture based laptops get released. It will definitely get cheaper once new ones are released.

I do not think so, either same price or more expensive due to expensive memory. There is already a lawsuit filed but that may take a while.
