Toshiba refurb v.s New Gateway

I just ordered a toshiba laptop from tiger direct.
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applica [...] BLET03SHIP

But i recently saw this pop up on bestbuy.com
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspag [...] 8043606827

It doesn't mention it on bestbuy.com but the scn resolution is suppose to be higher then 1440:900. Trying to find info to confirm this.

Hopefully this link isn't dead they just ran out of them... but it is a nice laptop for $1250. It is a refurb though and this is my first experience with a refurb. (I've listed the toshiba's specs below incase the link doesn't work.)

My question would be is the gateway overall a better product? Is it worth it to send the toshiba back and get the gateway? What makes ones better then the other?

Toshiba is better, lasts longer...much longer
the gateway did a big mistake, xp 64bit needs about 6gb and more for gaming 4gb is too low.

centrino duo is a cheap processor..toshiba's true duo is better.
so u did the right thing don't worry
