Suggest a good 14/15 laptop for med school?

I'm sorry if this topic has been regurgitated a ton of times but I need some suggestions. I'm looking to purchase a 14/15" laptop for med school. I don't need to write on the screen or for it to be a convertible. I find it easier typing as I go and will most likely use OneNote to annotate my notes. I have tried EverNote and was not too happy by its limitations, specifically lack of formatting that exits in the MS Suite and inability to import slides for annotating.

I was considering a Mac Pro but the new free version of OneNote has several limitations-- one in particular being lack of printing. There may be more. I was considering if one where to annotate notes/create notes in OneNote for Mac, to upload them to Skydrive and then use a Windows PC with OneNote to download them and print them. Not sure if such can be done to bypass this issue.

Personally, I'm not a fan of Windows 8's Metro UI. I would much prefer to use Windows 7. I do have a Windows 7 installation CD but the issue is that all of the laptops right now on the market lack Windows 7 drivers if they come with Windows 8. The lack of a start menu is daunting but there are 3rd party programs (like Start8) that cam possibly remedy this issue. Also, the key appeal of Windows is the fact that Office works well.

I'm considering buying a Lenovo Flex 2 (http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/lenovo/flex-series/flex-2-15/?sb=:000001C9:000120A7:), but wanted some opinions.

Windows 8 is not that bad, just don't use the metro ui
i advice you to search for a laptop that has an ssd hard drive
because it is now more important than a processor
flex is good
but try to get a pc with 1080 screen to be future proof and enjoy the high resolution
consider hp envy laptops for the better quality

If you don't mind carrying a full unit laptop then that is the way to go as for which one then that will be down to you.
YOUR budget and style preferences will also come into your decision at the final stage of your purchase.
Overcoming program needs should be thought of first, it is no good having a very smart looking machine if it can't run the program you need to work with. Then again if you have a machine that can run and operate to your needs but is so heavy and bulky it becomes a pain to have it with you.
one solution I have mentioned to others is if you can afford to have two machines, the big do it all very very well machine and the small light can store but not work with machine, the second to make notes and be easy to carry the first to have as the main frame work station
