If you don't mind Linux, https://system76.com/laptops has some great machines - the Oryx Pro is a pretty slim, aluminium laptop with much more performance per buck than the MBP.

PC Specialist, Schenker and Tuxedo sell machines based on the same barebones. These are probably cheaper for !US people.

Yeah, in the UK I'd go with SCAN Computers[1] or PC Specialist[2] (SCAN I can personally recommend).
