Razer Announces European Launch for Razer Blade Gaming Laptops
Razer announced it will begin distributing its award-winning range of gaming systems in Europe next month. Initial sales will open this December 10 via Razer’s Online Retail store with the 14-inch Razer Blade laptop.
The new 256 GB QHD+ Razer Blade slated for release next month features a backlit, anti-ghosting Nordic-layout keyboard. Additionally, customers in Europe will be able to purchase 256 GB and 512 GB QHD+ and 256 GB full-HD Razer Blades with English (U.S.) keyboard layouts.
“The demand in Europe for the world’s thinnest, most powerful and portable laptop for gamers has inspired us every waking moment since we launched the Razer Blade three years ago,” says Razer CEO and Co-Founder Min-Liang Tan. We are happy to say that everything is finally in place to offer Razer’s high-performance gaming systems throughout EU in 2016, with the feature sets and product support that gamers want, need and deserve.”
Razer EU General Manager Marco Chillon says: “We are really excited to kick-off our European Blade sales in the Nordics, such an incredible gaming center with so much history. We are now working to produce keyboard layouts to meet the needs of the rest of EU as quickly as possible, as well as getting the best distributors and retailers on board for a full rollout next year. It is our pleasure to offer everyone the current generation of Blade laptops in the meantime with localized power adapter and with full support to enable users to customize their OS language.”

Why wouldn't they? That is what they sell for here in the US. It is a whole lot of computer in a small package. It's still cheaper than a MacBook Pro and higher performance.
I'm pretty sure these will start out at $2k and go up in price from there.

What?????
Macbook Pro 15" Retina
http://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/macbook-pro?product=MJLT2LL/A&step=config#
$2,499.99
i7
16gbddr3 1600mhz
512gb PCIE flash
Iris Pro+Radeon 370X(In Windows, DX12 multi GPU config when possible)
Force touch trackpad with multiple point multitouch
2880x1800 220PPI Retina display
Razer Blade Pro
http://www.razerzone.com/store/razer-blade-pro
i7
16gbddr3 1600mhz
256 SSD+500GBHDD
Geforce 960m
Trackpad?
1080p display
They're about the same, but the Macbook Pro has a better display, and faster memory. In DX12 situations where a game can use multiple GPU's and mix them, unless the i7 in the Razer has Iris as well then the Macbook will also win in this case.
Also with the Macbook, it's guaranteed support for Mac Os X and Windows 10 in one machine.

And also I don't see why not, the Macbook Pro is actually a pretty capable machine with Windows on it.

You are quoting the Razer Blade Pro, the 14" Razer Blade is much higher spec and yes it is faster and cheaper than a Macbook Pro, no matter how capable you think it is.

The new Razer Blade is not available, which is why I linked to the only available one.
And even in the case if it is available, gpu and a higher resolution on the screen is what it has over the Macbook Pro. This does not mean the Pro is not capable in any sort of way. Price wise, it is cheaper than the Pro. At that point, the only advantage of buying the Macbook Pro over the Razer Blade would be Mac Os X support.
