Razer has a 14" laptop that looks really nice, if you can look a little past the color scheme.

They also have a 17" and a 12.5" laptop, but you're probably looking for something in between 13 and 15.

I'm in the same market. I have a late 2013 Macbook Pro and there is ZERO chance I'm buying a modern 15" MBP. The Touch Bar is offensive to the point that I'll put up with Windows instead.

I've actually been more and more impressed with Razer lately. At first I was totally against their stuff claiming they were over charging for "cool colored" stuff that was the same or worst than their alternatives (which was true at the time), but I've slowly started using some of their stuff and it is actually pretty nice. And the new stuff they're putting out seems like it actually might be top of the line stuff and worth the price.

That said, I have no idea if this laptop is any good, I just wanted to mention my feelings toward the company as a whole because I know a lot of people like me who think of all their stuff as over priced normal stuff with "cool color schemes".

What's the battery life on Razer Blade? One thing I like about Macbooks is that, for some reason, they can work in dusty environment and still stay silent(ish) after that. That's especially true for Macbook Air.

how's the touch bar offensive?
