Flash storage is a newer thing. It's called an SSD, solid state drive. It's the combination of 4-8 drives that run in congruence with one another. Much more efficient than a lunky single HD, much faster. SSD is the future.
Sounds like for your purposes id go with a 256 or 500 GB SSD if you can, maybe 2.4ghz (i3 or i5) or faster, 8-12 RAM and you'll be sitting pretty.
New does come with the warranty per se but you can add apple care to any device even used.
Refurbished isn't bad either, eBay still may be your best bang for the buck, just be thorough and good luck!!!
