I am in need of a new laptop for school, my photography hobby, and entertainment. I know I am gonna get another Lenovo laptop (because I love Lenovo) and I am down to the Lenovo Y50, and Lenovo Thinkpad T450. Pros and cons for Lenovo Y50 I get a decent mobile gaming laptop, an HD 1920x1080 IPS screen, red backlit keyboard, Cons battery is not going to be long, a little heavy, and haft to carry the charger around. Pros and cons for Thinkpad T450 I get two batteries (one claiming 17hr), light and compact, durability, awesome keyboard, cons less high end components, 1600x900 HD display, and I won't be able to play high end games. I do have a dedicated gaming desktop. I ask you guys for some help, give me what you think would be best for you. In case some of you haven't heard of either of theses laptops I put links.

Because its through the Lenovo Scholars unfortunately, we cannot view it, Whats your budget? Also the Y50 is a good choice, you cannot go wrong with Intel, I personally like the Y50, but the T450 is made more for learning, your pick if you want to do some gaming 

My budget is $900
