I'm pretty disappointed with the compromises I have to make to use a Mac these days. I'm planning on getting one of the new XPS 15s with an i-9 - so excited!

Even if the laptop works fine, the temperatures could get worse after a couple years of use. You might often need to change the thermal paste and clean the heatsinks and fan. I would suggest waiting a bit more for extensive tests. OTOH if money is no issue, I'd go for it. i9 in a laptop sounds really cool.
