VAIO Duo 13 seemed really interesting. Price was just a bit too much for me. Also solid clamshell design was better for me when typing is my main use.
So i decided to go for my first Mac(never though that would happen ).

15-inch: 2.3GHz
with Retina display
Specifications
2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7
Turbo Boost up to 3.5GHz
16GB 1600MHz memory
512GB PCIe-based flash storage 1
Intel Iris Pro Graphics
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M
with 2GB GDDR5 memory
Built-in battery (8 hours)

The only thing that can stop me is the keyboard. Two questions: I'm getting it from Hong Kong. Do they have English keyboards over there?

Do apple have one year limited guarantee only in Hong Kong if its bought there or is it worldwide?
