Welcome to the forums!

Do you have a budget, a preferred place to purchase from, and/or a preferred OS?

Change of plans. Looking at Lenovo Z710, do you think it will suffice for android development?

Emulator? Oh, I see, you're doing Android development. Best to save some money and get a real Android product to run stuff on. It doesn't have to be expensive. Some Nexus 7s on Ebay are going for ~$100.

Like these? I wouldn't spend any money on discrete graphics. (Meaning "NVIDIA GeForce GT 840M".) An SSHD is OK, but even better would be to find a laptop with a mSATA or M.2 slot, and add something like this for mSATA or (I guess) this for M.2.
