They made them as recently as 2011. Unibody aluminum. Matte or glossy screen. 1920x1200. IPS. 2.5ghz quad core i7. Ram's a little slow at PC3-1333. Those don't have replaceable batteries, but you can replace them yourself fairly easily. You can pick them up for about $1k.

It's sobering, really. The only substantial improvement made to laptops in the past 6 years is battery life.

Yes, I'm still using my 2011 17-incher. Will be very sad when it dies.
