Discussion Which laptop is better for design?

Since I killed my 7yo laptop (think I fried the mb while cleaning it), I need something to replace it. After doing some research, I settled on either the Mercury White Razerblade Advanced 2019 or XPS 15 2020. I'd like to go with a slim, MacBook ish aesthetic, and these two seem perfect. I want tb3 to minimize tablet cables- so Ryzen is out.

The former (Razer) has a 2070 Max Q and i7-9750H, the latter (XPS) with a 1650ti and i7-10750H.

I do a lot of 2D art and painting with a Wacom tablet and recently got interested in 3D art in Zbrush, Maya, Substance Painter, ect. May get into 3D printing. I'd like my laptop to last a while like my previous one.

Disregarding price (I found them each for about rhe same, but the dongles I'd need with the Xps make the Razerblade cheaper) which one should I go for?
