    Hi all

    Currently have an XPS 15 9560. Its cracking for what I need it (Adobe and FM21). Over the last few weeks its acting up (battery gone, few pixels on screen, motherboard charging port is dodgy, screen hinge off a bit etc)

    I was looking at upgrading to the new XPS but it seems very pricey compared to what I can get in PC Specialist (Ive never bought off them before). Am I missing something obvious here? Its actually cheaper and by the looks a far superior product. Just looking for advice before pulling the trigger.

    My needs are heavy usage of Adobe Products (Photoshop, Illustrator etc)
    Heavy usage of Football Manager and the odd game.
    Needs to be very portable, not possible to go for a desktop or a heavy laptop. (At 15" Im pushing it with size I need that for Adobe)

    Any help is appreciated all. Thanks in advance
