If I were rich I would try these. The Dell XPS looks to be the better deal.
I am using a old Gateway NV57H48u with a i5 2.4ghz cpu, bluray player cd drive, 7200rpm 500gb hard drive, 8gb ram. Screen resolution: 1366_x_768 15.6” screen.
Bought for about $700 about 5 years ago. Good enough for what I do with it. Now have Windows 10 on it.
I want 1920 resolution and throw in touch screen and a SSD drive. The biggest speed increase was when I went from the 5400rpm to 7200rpm.
I also added 4gb for a total of 8gb.
My desktop pc is much better. I have a big 27” screen. Switched back to Windows 7
Drawback for Windows users is Windows 10.
