you can look at it this way, the P35W has a VGA and a HDMI, technically, you can have dual monitor setup in native while Y50 doesn't (it has only 1 HDMI). there are ways to connect to multiple monitors but we shall not dwell deep into that.
as discussed earlier, vga is still very much useful for projectors.
another thing is optical drive; to the very least P35W comes with an optical drive while Y50 doesn't. this might be a troublesome for some if you need to have access to the optical drive and it's not there. usually for those who tend to reformat every once a while or listening to cd or watching dvds. yes, there's workaround for it.
last but not least, y50 have only one storage bay and it's either you use it with a sata or ssd. P35W gives you the flexibility to upgrade at a later time (when ssd price drops). this is a direct performance attribute.
indeed p35w is packed with more features. however for some the price different and with the same power, sacrifice can be made (me for example) honestly if i got 6 month bonus i will go for this gigabyte too. nothing is free of charge anyway. as discussed earlier, vga is still very much useful for projectors.
