Ok, just very quickly before i go to bed.

HP envy 15t

15" FHD touchscreen
i7 quad core
256gb
backlit keyboard
16gb
2gb nvidia geforce 840m
built in optical drive

$1409

15" macbookpro
inferior i7 quad core
512gb
backlit keyboard
16gb
2gb nvidia geforce 750m
no optical

$2578 + windows

very close in specs there is nothing i do that i need the resolution on the laptop itself, so retina is useless to me. EVERYTHING else is biased towards the Envy for $1000 less!!
