I've been studying up on laptops and as of this moment, believe I am going to purchase a refurbished Toshiba Satellite p25-s520. Do any of you out there have any comments on this particular model? Are there other brands that match or exceed the Toshiba? Is purchasing a refurbished laptop a bad idea? Thanks in advance for your help!
