2. gtx 1050 kick kao radeon.. but u must remember mac hv better display... becoz xps 15 4k means more icon in the screen.. not color saturation.. n so far non come close to mac retina... however the new gen retina fast spoil oso... TIM cook dunno do QC

3. both last 4-5yrs.. but DELL i can do extend warranty where mac cannot extend if u dint buy extension on the spot...

I was a previous user of a Dell XPS 15 9550 [last gen version]. Since they haven't changed the design and the current gen components have the same TDP I think my experiences will still be valid.

In my case the XPS has trouble gaming for extended periods without throttling if you're in a non air conditioned room. The VRMs will get hot after a while [usually about 90 minutes in my case] and then the CPU will throttle down to 800MHz. To get it to run back at full speed you need to restart it and wait a bit for it to cool down. In games that do not tax both the GPU and CPU as hard, the throttling happened later.

I imagine the same can be applied to the rMBP seeing how thin it is and the cooling looks similar to the XPS.

mac had worse cooling than XPS... XPS dual fans.. MBP dual tiny fan...n mbp power brick draw less power compare to XPS... tat y mbp not fit for gaming...

ur 9550 hv hotter gtx 960m compre to gtx 1050... n oso pls repaste ur thermal gel... xps 9550 oso got uneven thermal paste cases

I also had good deal with AW15R3, however finally select XPS due to photo edit + medium gaming + light weight
XPS had balance in term for this.. XPS is too heavy...

I believe TS had similar usage as mine

A few people were PMing asking for outcome and opinions, so here's a short 1-month review:
Went with the xps, couldn't bring myself to pay so much more for less. Overall quite happy:

Pros: lots of specs, great screen (got the 4K one, didnt quite like the matte UHD one), nice design, good value for money

Cons: if you're coming from a macbook, then a lot of little things will get to you especially with daily use, eg trackpad (good for windows, but not as smooth as mac esp for gestures), overall smoothness of Windows 10 (one of the better Windows so far but still not as smooth as OS X e.g. multi-desktop, screen clippings, etc). And yes, it is annoying that you can't open it with one hand
Also had some problems when I first got it with the graphics drivers, because of an update downloaded by windows update - blue screens and flickering. Was fixed by manually downloading the latest intel drivers from Dell but it was bloody annoying
In summary, if you're a Windows user, I think this is the best all-rounder on the market right now, enough power to do everything from normal computing to image/video editing to some gaming, without feeling or looking like a brick.
If you're a mac user looking to switch, you will notice a bunch of small things wrt to the UI that will collectively annoy you over time, but I think nothing you can't live with.
