What laptop would you recommend for college?

I need one with a decent amount of storage, long battery life, and long lasting for the years. What do you like? What were your experiences? As of right now i'm considering the macbook air 11in or the lenovo thinkpad t450.

Sorry for not bringing answers, but I just came out of 1st year, and I need to tell you this: DO NOT GET A PC YOU CAN PLAY GAMES ON! EVEN IF YOU DON'T LIKE GAMES! DO NOT!

I'm saying this in all my depressed, down in the pit seriousness.

You should get a macbook, they can hold a lot, and they are very useful. It doesn't have to be an air though.
