    I'm going to get one of them though I'm not sure which one is better. Any thoughts on the build and quality of these two? Which is better? Thanks...

    IMHO, the Sony is much better looking than the Dell. The Dell, however, is more powerful. It's a shame it looks like every other laptop from 10 years ago, instead of a chic, powerful machine, as it should.

    I agree Sony is better looking, I wish the DELL looked like that.

    Yeah, they should have just updated the SXPS 16 with better hardware and a new ventilation design, and dropped the Studio nomenclature if they thought it was confusing.
