Yeah I'm running a MBP 8.2 also (released February 24, 2011).

16GB ram

512GB intel ssd

1TB sata instead of cdrom

1GB AMD Radeon HD 6770M

I always got the next best mbp but since this one I thought I was always going backwards on certain things so I have not upgraded. So a 2.5 year old laptop still has these advantages that are important to me...

- non glossy display

- I have 1.5TB storage now ( and can go higher now ) compared to the max 1TB that is offered now.

- I'm still on snow leopard , primarily due to the multiple fullscreen idiocy in lion and mountain lion ( but that might change now in mavericks)

My only reason to upgrade is that I would like the fans to come on less when I'm plugged into an external 30" display. It's a little disappointing that the last 3 mbp releases are not, or making me thing twice, about hitting the buy button.
