I really liked the last macbook I bought. It was my first mac product after years of being a PC fanboy, and it was an excellent device for taking to class and for general school work. It just worked, no hassle, which was nice compared to some of the windows and linux systems I'd used before.

That being said, the new macbook just doesn't appeal to me at all. Over $3,000 for the configuration I want, when even the slightly overpriced Razer Blade goes for hundreds less. I really like the metal construction and small form factor of macbooks when compared to most higher end PCs, but the Blade offers almost everything I like about the macbook, with more power, and for a reduced price. Even if I get the top of the line Blade, it is still less than a macbook configured how I'd want.

Glad someone in the PC world adopted some of apple's design features, because aside from a few minor complaints (no RJ45, no DP, no card reader), the Blade really combined the build quality I love with macbooks, with the affordability and versatility of a windows PC.
