Alternative to the Macbook Pro 15 "Retina?

Asus N550JV-CN088H 39.6 cm (15.6-inch) notebook (Intel Core i7 4700HQ, 2.4GHz, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, NVIDIA GT 750M 4GB, Win 8) Silver (Personal Computers)

Customer Review

I had already looked at the unit in Saturn and Media Markt and the Amazon reviews met for (wrong touchpad and built by sharp edges on the underside), ordered it to me anyway.
I was hoping that the individual cases have been and only evaluate the Amazon reviewer, if you are unsatisfied.
Here you come to the ratings.
-Schiefes Imprecise touchpad
-VERY! Slanted built Bluray drive. Posteriorly deep in the housing, center-justified and forwards it is far out, when viewed from the bottom of the device is the gap between drive shaft and Gehäusche 1cm!

In addition, the fan already in IDLE mode is subjective too loud.

Too bad, because the design is super, not too much Macbook inspired with the perforation and B & O Emblem, I would have kept it with appropriate quality of workmanship like.

Design 4.5 stars
Power (estimated from the components) 4.5 stars (no SSD)
Processing 1 star (Amazon) 4.5 stars (Saturn)

Asus urgently needs to work on the quality (if available).
I can not imagine that returns are cheaper than quality savings to me.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Nachtrag 29.12.2014 evening
The Asus N550JV with 4GB RAM GPU would brighten my day at 12:00 and at 12:45 to Amazon sent back due to the above-mentioned processing defects.
But as I finally wanted a new laptop I went to Saturn in the city, where I purchased an Asus N550 with 2GB GPU RAM, otherwise identical.
So Asus N550JV-CN201 instead CN088H that 2GB more RAM do not, according to Internet noticeable.

Here, the processing defects have not occurred, the machine is silent, the gaps just installed fine and the touchpad. (Did it unpacked in the market in consultation with the seller).
According to the well used item in Amazon is sold to what extent this is true I do not know.
Who wants to play it safe with this device on number should go in an electric market on site and unpack the spot in case of "instant" -Retoure / complaint.

After a few hours use, I am completely satisfied with the device. Aluminium Windows notebooks in the field are extremely rare and that which the aluminum is completely not only with a wrist rest.

Positives:
-Very Quiet (replace HDD to SSD should make it even quieter)
-Quick (I feel the unit is the HDD but slowed down the exchange by an SSD is not a problem)
-Looks Great, all-aluminum (except for the display frame)
-Tolles FULLHD IPS display
-Many Connections
-BD Drive
Negatives:
-Windows 8 is getting used to for Windows 7, these tiles and the non-logical control structure requires a lot from me.

Supplement 01.06.2014

Samsung SSD 840 Evo installed. Very easy - 10 screws loose at the bottom - Torx T5 and remove with feeling out HDD SSD pure.

Start button back with the program "Classic Shell" - free.

The thing runs! 6 seconds off of fully -> booted.
Incredibly quiet. Fan switch off at low load. Must be set only when the Power Options.

I am very pleased. I hope it stays like this!
