I will more than likely be gaming on it,(waiting for GTA V). So, should I wait or should I go ahead and buy either the Lenovo or Dell? Also, which one would you recommend?

    If you're going to be playing GTA V on it which won't be out for at least a year why not wait? Everything will be improved again in a few months.

    ^ This, and also, as lovely as both machines are, the GPU's they use will be outclassed by the next gen 6XX series ones. I really wanted the XPS 15 at one point but figured I'd wait a tad bit more

    You could try looking at laptops from other manufacturers like Sager? They currently have Ivy Bridge laptops and ones packing the GT650M and up, which according to notebookcheck surpasses the previous gen GTX560M, therefore puts it pretty far ahead the GT555M and the GT540M. Save le money, get raverier stuff later :3
