So lol, I went from the 13" 2015 512MBP to the 15" 2015 dGPU 512MBP to the 15" 2015 Maxed MBP to an ASUS RoG 980m Laptop just to realize that I wanted the 15" 2015 dGPU 512MBP back hahaha. So I have that now.

On a positive note I did get it 20% off :)
 
Asus RoG? Quite an opposite end of the spectrum.

Ya it is. Its so ridiculous. So, I bought the 13" really liked it but wanted a bigger screen, so I got that 15". Loved it so much I figured Id love it even more If I returned it and got a maxed out model. After setting it up, I tried a game on it and was very disappointed on how it performed Vs. the $3200 I paid for it. Even though I know it was not a game machine I expected more for that price. So I retuned it for the ASUS RoG with 980m. This machine I also loved except it weighs just over 9lbs and it didn't run Mac. After having it for a week I realized something (stupid). When am I actually going to use this Gaming Laptop?!? I have a beefy gaming Rig at home, I don't have enough time at work to game during my lunch. I couldn't see where I would actually use it. SOOOO, I started looking at Macbooks again lol, and saw a way I could get the 15" 512 with dGPU for 20% ($500) off. So I got it.

Its been totally ridiculous buying and returning these laptops, but in the end I think I figured out what I actually needed/wanted.
