Dell XPS or Mac book pro

As per the title, which to choose?


I am after a new laptop, mainly for editing photos and GoPro video etc and general surfing and stuff. Lots of work friends rave about mac but I have never had one.

My current Dell intel i5 laptops seems to struggle with video editing and playback and I am told a mac is much better for this kind of thing.

Also, will all my current photos which are stored on a portable hard drive be readable in their current file format if I got a mac.

Any advice welcome

Many thanks, that's helpful.

Thanks for all the comments.

Looks to me like there is not much of a material difference between the two other than style.

I thought the operating system on a mac was more efficient which led to better performance of editing software, is this not the case any more with windows ten?

Sooooooooooooo

Back to my original question.

I am so confused now. Reading between the lines of all the posts, I don't see there is much material difference in performance. It comes down to the badge, and how it handles, much like a car I guess
