If money isn't an issue, I'd go for a 15 inch MacBook Pro with a Windows partition for gaming goodness.

  it is Not worth the price, You are paying for a name not for worth. Though this is just my opinion .

In all seriousness though go for a Asus(had one for 5 years and never had any trouble with it) or Lenovo those 2 are the best in my book. But try and stay away from HP, Dell, and Toshiba I have had all 3 of those brands and had huge problems with them hardware wise (such as them breaking after a year). Up to you OP but I would also say give Acer another chance as they are that bad but not the best, still just give them a look also.

Agreed! You never go with a Macbook unless you have tons of disposible income and love to buy the worst things in the world... Seriously...

Fail...

Macbooks have the best build quality and the retina display is beautiful. The premium isn't that much considering the class they're in. Plus it's the only (real) way to get OS X.

Anyway, I recommend the Yoga 2 Pro as some others have. Maybe would have gotten one myself but couldn't wait for it to arrive here.

No way, the only reason why people think Macbooks have the best displays is because they're ignorant of other alternatives, you're paying a premium for that logo.

The upcoming Lenovo’s Y50 has a 4k display, that puts the "Retina" display to absolute shame. (Then again, Apples "Retina" in the mobile space isn't even 720P, it's a marketing term for those who aren't very knowledgable, nothing more.)
Then you have Toshiba's "Kira Book" with it's 2560x1440 displays. - Which, from someone who has three 1440P 27" monitors, are a delight to behold.

You also can't forget the Dell XPS 15 with it's 3200x1800 display, which the equivalent Macbook is $500 more and doesn't have a touch screen, premium? I think so.

If I was the Op though...  And I was looking into a notebook, I wouldn't look past an MSI GT70 or the cheaper GX60, mainly from a gaming perspective or Perhaps the Razer Blade notebook.
