Also, i've read that usb rme interfaces don't work with newer macs (dongle only).

I tend to favor windows laptops due to upgradeability - xps can take future memory and ssd upgrades. Also more of the scripts and plugins are windows only rather than osx only.

But ofc, you can always use bootcamp for that (as there's also osx option for xps - called hackintosh - see tony mac x86 forum)

As for the i9, many reviewers got more performance from i7 due to overheating and throttling of the i9s.
