    I'd really not rather go over €700.
    It has to be Windows.
    While it will be for programming (I eventually plan to learn Android programming) and for web design in general, it's going to be some light (read: I don't want to waste money on a dedicated GPU for two reasons if I can afford it) gaming which I'm comfortable knowing an intel 5500HD or less could run.

    I don't want a dedicated GPU since my previous one made my laptop abnormally hot and I feel it's a waste since I own a gaming PC already.

    I'd need at least 1600x900 resolution. Touchscreen isn't needed. I need a numpad. At least 8GB RAM. Portability isn't exactly an issue but battery life really is. A heavy laptop can still be moved; it's the battery life I care most about. Any brand is fine.

    Warranty is something I would want. Ideally at least a 2 year.
