Folks, ok this is a laptop query but with a major photographic tilt.
I'm looking to replace an older Windows laptop however I don't really do any gaming now on it and my main use is photo editing.

I'm very attracted to a Macbook Pro, partly because the screen looks awesome and partly for the great performance and battery life, it also looks like the top spec Mac Pro 15" with the Nvidia Card would still run most of my Steam stuff (thats Mac Compatible).

The £2000 is a consideration but most of what I've read suggests its a great machine and I don't have any real "need" for Windows now.

However the 15" Dell XPS also looks great, much cheaper however the battery life looks pretty woeful.

I'm looking for a little advice from anyone who has had a look at both machines maybe, or really anyone who's bought a high end laptop for photography recently!
 
I'm wavering away from the 15" MBP actually, £2000 is a lot of money when you consider the GPU isn't even that good.... I've actually been half looking at a gaming laptop instead, trade battery life for raw power (and price!).
