Windows would work fine (personally I think its better) with your requirements. Also it'll be portable so you could do work on your bed too.

Sorry brother Im not updated enough with the market right now to suggest specific models or brands.
If I was in ur place then I would buy something that has a good power and heat dissipation balance as Android Studio is quite demanding on resources.
SSD is a must other wise you would be stuck on its loading screen forever. I used to run Android Studio on an i3 3rd Gen with 4 Gigs of pathetic RAM and no ssd and I remember clearly, the amount of time I spent watching the studio load and generate a build.
Don't go for very old generations of processors.
You know all of these anyway. I was just ranting xD
