Windows type macbook pro retina

I currently have the macbook pro retina 15' and am very happy with it and the Performance what I like very much next to the nice screen and ssd is the form factor it is the Performance in that thickness I have seen. I was wondering if there is any laptop on the windows side that is simular. I have seen the chromebook pixel but the storage is too small.

Why not install windows on the macbook? ( i think you can )

Chromebook Pixel doesnt use Windows but Chrome OS. As far as i know the max resolution of a Windows laptop is 1080p so it hard to find similar one. You can install Windows on your Macbook very easy using Parallels but i dont really recommend it. Can you tell me why you need windows?

Maybe Dell XPS 15 is close but Apple build quality cant be matched by any Windows laptop. Of course this is only my opinion.

You can setup a dual boot on your macbook by partitioning your drive. Have the Mac OS on one partition and the Windows OS on the other.

Uhh, just use boot camp to partition your drive and install Windows, it takes all of about 30 minutes. Download or buy an ISO. On the note of Windows based laptops that match Macbooks considering the combination or performance, build quality and screen, they don't exist.

I am really hoping that somebody comes up with a rivaling solution that can match my laptop because I think I can find signs of built in obsolescence that apple notoriously has.

Bootcamp seems to have temperature problems running Windows on the MBP Retina. There's a lot of complaints if you search for it. Some report Windows idling at 90C and OSX idling around 40C.

The Windows equivalent of a MBP with retina display is a MBP with retina display with Windows installed on it.  In terms of build quality ThinkPads are their best rivals, but 2012's models were a bit underpowered.  I'd wait for Haswell to drop and see what comes out the, without knowing what's coming we can't really give you a recommendation yet, and if you're worried about obsolescence I doubt we can help at this point since all we can do is suggest last year's laptops.
