They are both excellent machines, both quad core CPU and lots of RAM, good video cards.
The Studio XPS will probably be a little faster.
You must have XP or VISTA 64 bit OS on those, what editing software are you planning to use?

I did choose the 64 bit.
Pinnacle ultima master. I would like the avid liquid but cant afford it.
So you think the studio is better?
Tks

The i7 processor is really fast, and really new. Should last you a long time before it is out of date (maybe 6 months or so 
)
Don't know a thing about Pinnacle and how well or if it runs on 64bit, can't help you there.
I would think that someone here would know about it however.

I am partial to Intel over AMD but that is just me.
Looks like a great editing machine. I am drooling over here.

Me too. I have a reasonable understanding of the Intel product line; I remain confused by AMD's line up.

I'm thinking about a Dell too for when I get a Panasonic TM300 and begin to work with AVCHD footage. BUT I'd like a portable, in particular I was thinking of a Studio 15 with the following configuration:
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor P8600 (2.40Ghz, 3MB, 1066MHz)
Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium SP1 - English
LCD: 15.4" Wide Screen WXGA WLED (1280 x 800) Display with TrueLifeâ„¢
3072MB 800MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [1x2048 + 1x1024]
Video Card: 256MB ATI Mobility RADEON HD 3450
I'll also have my Acer external screen connected to it most of the time.
I was thinking of an Inspiron 15 but as far as I can see that doesn't have a Firewire port and I've still got a lot of life left in my DV camcorders.
What do you think - should I be OK?
Many thanks in advance for your opinions
