Laptop with non-Chicklet Keyboard

I'm looking to replace my 5 year old dual core T2400 laptop with a new machine in the next couple of months. The only problem I'm having is finding one with a keyboard I like. I can not stand Chicklet keyboards and will refuse to buy one. (Heck, I use a 20 year old mechanical keyboard at my desk both at home and work).

Some minimum specs I'm looking for:

Processor: Intel i5 or greater (or AMD equivalent)
Memory: Minimum 4GB, but I can upgrade on my own
Screen: 15"-17"
Keyboard: Non-Chicklet
Budget: Would like to stay under $1500

I've looked at the Lenovo, but we've had quality issues with these at work, so i want to avoid.

Any ideas / brands to go look at?
 
Last I checked Dell Studios still had regular laptop keyboards. Dell Latitudes should still have them too. I don't like the new chicklet keyboards either.
 
Studios seem to have the "modified" chicklet style (like the Mini's). I'm keeping Dell on the list as a last resort because we've switched to the Latitudes at work and have had mixed results. (Although the more Dell sells, the lower my property taxes 🙂 )
