I originally thought of a Mac, but I like windows better and Lenovo has a good sale right now. These are my two options:

I know as an engineer I should probably go for the the one with greater storage (U410). But since I'm a chemeng (sophomore) do I really need that much storage?
Which Laptop would you go for?
or do you have any other device in mind that you own or heard about?I would greatly appreciate your advice. I waste a lot of time commuting to school, so having an ultrabook or netbook to use at any time in my backpack would take a lot of weight of my back, well kinda, lol.
