The price difference is about 40 pounds. I know the asus has a slower processo but on the other hand has a more stylish design and a better video card for games. What would you guys buy?

Dell XPS hands down, my reason for this is that the screen resolution on the XPS will come in handy for gaming and the processor is QUAD core also and has turbo and also the hard drive is much better as it is 7200rpm and the Asus is 5400rpm.

What's the laptop going to be used for?

With the XPS 15 having a GT 540M graphics card and 1920x1080 LCD resolution the graphics card will 'game' a notch lower because of the high resolution.
