Experiences with XPS Tower?
I am deciding between the XPS 15 and XPS Tower for video editting. I like the XPS 15 but seem like it has a lot of problems.
I can get the XPS 15 with i7 8th edition, gtx 1050ti, 16gb ram and 1 tb SSD for $1k6 I can get the XPS tower with i7 8700k, gtx 1070 ti, 16gb ram, 512gb ssd and 2 tb HDD for $1k4.
The problem is I found so many negative reviews about XPS 15 and almost no review about XPS tower. Please give me your advice. Thank you!

Either of those systems with an 8th Gen CPU is old, so are you looking for a used PC?
An XPS Tower with 8th Gen i7 CPU is probably an XPS 8930. So compare the US prices for the XPS Tower you mentioned to a brand new XPS 8950 Tower with a 12th Gen CPU.
You can search for reviews using that model number. And you can always search for either model number here on Dell's forum to see what users are saying.
Desktops are generally more upgradeable since you can add more RAM, a better video card, bigger PSU, connect bigger/better monitors, etc. So why lock yourself into a laptop, especially to do video editing, unless you want/need the portability of a laptop?
