Sorry Swordmaker, Wintel only. This is for business. Tell that to IBM which is installing 2500 Apple Macs per week in it's business, and saving big bucks in IT and tech support, FreeDumb. You can run Windows on Mac hardware in a sandbox far more safely than you can on a purely Windows box. . . and getting an infected Windows install back up and running is far easier on the Mac because you can simply replace an infected virtual drive image file with a clean replacement in a couple of minutes and be back up and running. — PING!

I’m going to have to agree with Swordmaker.
Even if you want a pure Wintel notebook, you’re going to find that in the high power range that the Retina Macbook Pro isn’t going to be beaten in price or performance. Also, if it needs to be serviced in the future, your rescuers are as close as the nearest Apple Store. Won’t be so with a Lenovo or Samsung.
If you’re prepared to spend $2300-$2500 on a new high end notebook and don’t get the rMBP, you chose poorly -— even if your intent was to wipe the disk clean and install Windows 10. Plenty of people do that, by the way. Of course, I wouldn’t wipe the disk clean of OS X. but instead run Win10 in a virtual machine.
Probably better do some research, Freedumb2003. Let it be recorded that I tried to help.
