Need help to pick between Dell Inspiron or Dell XPS models

I recently broke my MacBook Pro and need to quickly buy a new laptop this weekend and decided to switch to dell. I have my choices down to a $2,000 XPS or a $1,200 Inspiron, they are both 15 inch and from what I remember they both have 512 GB storage, 16 GB of RAM, and an i7 processor both 8th gen? I believe, I just mostly remember that they both have the requirements to run all of my engineering programs, but I’m not sure which one I should pick? Money is my biggest issue, is the $2,000 XPS that much better than the $1,200 Inspiron? The Inspiron is also on sale this weekend so that’s why it’s decently cheap.

Performance wise, they should be similar.  The Insprion won't have the elegance of the Macbook Pro or the XPS, being largely plastic vs. metal in construction.  It'll also be bulkier.

You're about to step from from a Lexus or BMW to a Hyundai or Kia.  You may get the same basic level of performance, but nowhere near the build or level engineering.

I would choose Inspiron
