Thanks for the replies.
Cost isn't so much an issue and I definitely don't want a refurb. I want the latest technology. I make it a point to only upgrade at the most opportune time, so buying a refurb is out of the question.
Regarding the XPS 15, it seems too have the same hardware specs but cost $250 less. That said, I would gladly pay $250 more for a Mac with bootcamp vs a Dell with uhh McAfee?.
One big question I have; Is the Nvidia 750m the latest in laptop gaming right now? And if not, does the laptop with a superior graphics card have a 3200 x 1800 display?

@AdolfCaesar It's not so much the games I play now: DotA 2, SC2, SWTOR, WoW. It's the games I will want to play. I've been running into the issue of downloading games on Steam that are completely non-playable, no matter what. I expect that won't happen with any new machine I buy, but I also don't want that to happen after having my computer for a year.
If gaming is your top priority the Mac is a poor choice unless u just like the design.
