The Razer Blade is a surprisingly capable, beautiful alternative. I will say that the primary driver is more being on MacOS, which is a nice middle ground for ease of use for our developer team that's primarily working in things like Ruby on Rails and React, and also really great for movie editing for our marketing folks. We're all still holding hope that the next MBP fixes the keyboard issues.

It's a shame the quality hasn't kept pace across the other lines and new models.
