Hi Brian, Thankfully my 17" MacBookPro8,3 (early 2011) is still running perfectly. But as soon as Apple announce a new 17" MacBook Pro retina display, I will be ordering one ;-)
There has been thousands of people (including me) that have been sending feedback to Apple since they discontinued the 17" MBP via this link. http://www.apple.com/feedback/macbookpro.html Apple say they do read all feedback... so hopefully they have been really listening... And even the co-founder of Apple - Steve Wozniak depends on a 17 inch Mac Book Pro. <http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/26/engadget-questionnaire-steve-wozniak/> "What gadget do you depend on most? Macbook Pro 17-inch for most of my email, including web links and video links."
