In the past, I would have opted for the Dell. ( I used to select and
assemble component systems myself)
With my experiences with XPS support over the last few years, I'd opt for
the ASUS.
If it was an equivalent system not in the XPS line, I might still stick with
Dell.
X= unknown quantity PS = Product support
