My 15" rMBP was "only" $3k. The Razer is 50% more! It's a 2012 and still doing great. The Razer is closer to desktop performance, but that also means the battery life is abysmal.

True, my top-end rMBP from Late 2013 was around the same price and still doing reasonably well.
However, the current top-end rMBP is $4,299.00, whilst the top-end Razer Blade Pro is $4499.99. They're certainly both in the same (insanely expensive) ballpark, with the Razer Blade Pro having:
* a significantly higher resolution display * twice the RAM * a touch display * a higher resolution webcam * a significantly better GPU.
In favour of the rMBP:
* 15", instead of 17" (although that's my personal preference) * Faster CPU (I think, I'm not up to date on which model beats which)
I'm by no means suggesting go out and buy a Razer Blade Pro. Just that, whilst expensive, it's no worse value for money than other high-end market laptops that are presently available.
