Well I don't know about Sony refurbished laptops. But generally
speaking, if they are factory refurbished... they are given a new serial
number and has a label stating it is refurbished. And factory
refurbished warrantees are generally 30, 60 or 90 days.
I actually prefer refurbished laptops over factory new for the following
reasons.
1) They are much cheaper.
2) They have had someone check them to see if they actually work.
3) Known problems for a given model usually has been fixed and repaired.
