The Sony Vaio FS,FE,SZ series are a nice match for you except for the big change that it wont last the 4 years as its quite fragile. If you're delicate with them you might make it. Another problem is your budget as 700 euro wont get you the premium versions.
The basic entry level FE series are just about 700, FS are about 800 and the SZ are around 900.
The prices are kinda averages. Go here and check them out
