New MacBook Pro's

What are the best alternatives for the $2,000 15" MacBook Pro?

The reason I what to know is b/c my teacher is a apple fan and is looking at getting a new MacBook.  I'v looked and found a lot of alternatives but I'm sure I missed some of the best ones out there. 

With about the same form factor and price, the Razer blade is a good option.

msi gs 70 stealth other wise the asus zen book is really good for non gaming use

 

I would look at the 13 inch MacBook Air. It's a very capable laptop with excellent battery life. If your teach needs something with a bit more power then I would look at the retina MacBook Pros. All depends on your teacher's needs. 

I'm looking for a non apple product. 

Ah okay. I've read mostly positive things about Razr products so I would heavily look at those.
