Hi,

Which one do you recommend?
Aftershock:
Intel® Core™ i7-8750H Processor (Six Core 8th Gen)
NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5
15.6 Inch 144hz FHD IPS / AHVA wide colour gamut display (1920x1080)
Thermal Grizzly KRYONAUT
8GB DDR4 2666mhz (8GB x 1)
Blue Tactile Mechanical Switches (Clicky Tactile Feedback)
256GB M.2 SSD (Read Speed Over 500 MB/s)
1TB Toshiba HDD

or Dell XPS 15

Mind sharing a link to that Dell XPS 15? So we can compare the specs? Are they both priced the same? What sort of tasks will you tax the laptop with? Out of the box the Aftershock has premium thermal paste on it, preapplied.

From that Afgtershock page:

"4 - 5 Hours of usage based on Full charge."

That's like... terrible, XPS all the way.

The dell xps 15 is 9570 Laptop 8th Gen i7-8750H 16GB RAM 512GB SSD UHD 4K Touch. Its a refurbished laptop from ebay for $2500 with a year warranty while the aftershock is $2300 with 2 year warrenty.

the only thing I don't like about the Aftershock is the battery life. On paper it looks really good especially for the price while the XPS seems really expensive. I am also happy for other recommendations if you have any.
