Apostle.-

But here's the thing: they're not overpriced, or at least not as much you think they are.  Your claimed $800 price gap is based on an inherently flawed, invalid comparison.
 
I also noticed that you missed a key point here: the Blade 15 and 16-inch MacBook Pro are, for the most part, aiming at fundamentally different audiences.  Outside of the Quadro model, the Blade is made primarily for gamers; the MacBook Pro is meant for creatives.  A 144Hz 1080p panel is great if you're playing Modern Warfare, but pretty lousy if you're handling rough edits for a video production or sorting through photos from a fashion shoot.  And keep in mind that OLED isn't always great for creatives, since you don't want to risk burn-in from having the same image on the screen for half an hour.
 
Yes, the Razer is unequivocally better for gaming, and might be better for some creatives if you're more interested in the fastest possible GPU regardless of thermals, noise or pro-oriented optimizations.  And yes, Windows does tend to have longer support (although Mac support is more like 7 years plus security updates).  But if you're going to cry "overpriced," you need to compare using hardware that's actually close.  You can't just hand-wave away key differences in design.

I'm calling bull on this comparison, because there are a lot of differences that don't line up.
 
First: the 16-inch MacBook Pro has a larger, much higher-resolution display.  You cannot get more than a 1080p display in most Razer Blade 15 configurations, and the ones that do (with the RTX 2080 or Quadro RTX 5000) cost considerably more than $1,800.
 
Apple also starts the 16-inch MBP with a 512GB SSD.  Want that in the Blade 15?  It'll be at least $2,000... with a 1080p display.  If you want a more comparable 4K screen (albeit OLED), it'll cost you $3,300.
 
Now, Apple is known for charging an arm and a leg for RAM, but it's hard to compare directly when we don't know how many DIMMs Apple is using.  If it has to use two it may be pricing more fairly -- not that this makes it any more affordable, just not as much of a bad deal as you think it is.
 
And I'm sorry, but the OS matters.  In my case, macOS is better for my workflow (you know, the whole "pro" part you seem to have forgotten).  It also helps me avoid some of the nuisances that come with Windows today.  It integrates elegantly with my iPhone, which helps with both work and leisure.  Just how much of a premium it's worth is debatable, but it's clearly not that steep.

It's already official.
 
Huge upgrade -- they fixed the keyboard, allow up to 64GB of RAM and 8TB (!) of storage, offer better speakers and mics, plus include the usual performance boosts.  Not sure how the Radeon Pro 5300/5500M stacks up, but it's an improvement.  Also glad to see a 512GB SSD as the minimum despite the prices staying the same.
 
An update: Apple also says there's significantly improved airflow and a larger heatsink, so those of you prepared to grouse about thermal throttling... don't!  At least, not until there are reviews.

Dunno if this counts as non–tecchies, but regardless; I started at a new school this year and was wondering how much people knew about PCs here, or what the "PC People" are like. Well, now I know. As a preface: we have some kind of school bulletin where you can advertise yourself or something you wish to sell. Some kid was trying to sell the following rig for the equivalent of 1000 USD: 
Intel i7 8700 GTX 1060 3GB 8GB of DDR4 2666Mhz RAM Some Z370 motherboard. I don't know what brand, as it's in Chinese. 128GB M.2 SSD + 1TB HDD 400W PSU I don't know about you all, but I feel that this is quite clearly a ripoff. I could build a PC for the same price that's at least 50% better. Maybe it's none of my business, but I feel bad for the person that ends up buying this PC for that price, and then later realises that they could have built it themselves for almost half the price (if not less).
