I would highly recommend Asus F202 laptop that has been my official work laptop (with my employer's) for over a year now. It's a single boot Arch Linux (removed Win 8). I work on Android (Eclipse) and embedded C / C++ (mostly vim and terminal, a little kdevelop). Two things that I love about Arch Linux that made me use it, first and the most important, rolling release and second, excellent docs and forums. Also, I've never had a driver issue.

The specs are good enough, i3 3rd gen, 4gb soldered RAM, 500gb, 11.6inch 1366x768 glossy touchscreen, 1.4kg. (It's like a budget macbook air).

No use for the touchscreen (it's more of a hinderance, when someone touches the screen while pointing out something). Two major essential that I needed for a laptop, small and lightweight, and non-reflective (put a matte screen guard which works great).

Highly recommended.
