Apple is better, since you could always bootcamp to get the best of both worlds + Apple is more efficient when it comes to Photo and video editing laugh.gif
But make sure you have lots of RAM and space (and money in your pocket)! laugh.gif

However, if you are not interested in using Mac OSX, then the XPS15 will suffice. Just swap the hybrid HDD with a 512GB SSD and you will still be spending less than on the Apple units aforementioned

Regardless of what you choose in the end, do make sure you extend warranty to 3 years.. machines like this will cost a bomb when they break down laugh.gif
