I am a mechanical eng. student and I am thinking to buy the Lenovo Thinkpad w550s ($1300) with the specs below:

• Intel Core i7-5500U Processor (4MB Cache, up to 3.00GHz)
• Windows 7 Professional 64 preinstalled through downgrade rights in Windows 8.1 Pro 64
• Windows 7 Professional 64 preinstalled through downgrade rights in Windows 8.1 English
• Recovery Media Coupon WorldWide
• 15.6" FHD (1920 x 1080), with WWAN
• NVIDIA Quadro K620M 2GB
• 12GB PC3-12800 DDR3L (2 DIMM)
• 128GB Solid State Drive, Serial ATA

Do you think this laptop will be a good fit for me? or consider something else?
