This isn't really a recommendation, but if I could have it my way, I'd take this computer, except with OS X:

https://system76.com/laptops/oryx

• 15.6" 1080p IPS LED-backlit Display

• NVIDIA GeForce 1070 8GB

• 3.5 GHz i7-6700HQ

• 32 GB DD4 at 2400MHz (upgradeable to 64 GB)

• OS Drive: 512 GB NVMe (PCI with 2600MB/s read and 1600 MB/s write)

• 2nd Drive: 2.5" 1 TB SSD

• 1080p HD Webcam

• Kensington® Lock port

• 1x Gigabit Ethernet

• 1× HDMI

• 2× Mini DisplayPort

• 2× USB 3.1 Type-C

• 3× USB 3.0 Type-A

• Stereo Speakers

• Stereo Mic

• Headphone Jack

• Mic Jack

• S/PDIF

• SD Card Reader

Obviously the dream would be for it to look like a MacBook Pro, but I would give up the sleek case if I could run OS X reliably on that sucker.
