My friend has the ASUS and I absolutely love it. I like the flashing LEDs and the mini led screen that shows battery life and stuff, also its pretty comparable to the Toshiba. The thing is though, my parents don't like the idea of refurbished stuff and prefer new...Any suggestions?

ps: this is for college and i like to play games as well....mainly cs source
