I would upgrade the mbp , as you can install a SSD ,add more ram up to 8GB I think
i7quad-core over a i5dual-core twice as fast in some cases , even take out the dvd drive and install a second SSD .
Weakness is the intel 3000 gpu   after I read the apple MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011) - Technical Specifications
Quote
Intel HD Graphics 3000 and AMD Radeon HD 6490M with automatic graphics switching
:o  8) Yes very good !!
Even though the mbp is 5-6 years old it's still has more potential and is way more usable then the dell .
