Lenovo y50 vs thinkpad w550s

[Rungo23]

I'll be a first year engineering student next year and am running out of time to decide which laptop to get. I'm stuck between the y50's powerful processors or the w550s's long battery life and durability

They are two different class of laptop, the W is a professional model with a pro video card for CAD and that type of work, the Y is a consumer line for general use and low to mid range gaming.

I'd guess the W550 is several $100 more than the Y model. If you don't care about gaming performance difference or the price, I'd pick the W model.
