Hey there. You're right, my response was a little vague.
When you buy a refurbished computer, it generally comes with a 90 day warranty from the manufacturer, though some manufacturers offer one year warranties on their refurbished computers. If you have any hardware issues, the manufacturer will take care of them.
You also have the option of purchasing Future Shop's Product Service Plan on some refurbished computers. This Service Plan provides coverage for up to three years, depending on the term of the Plan you purchase. The Service Plan starts the same day you purchase your computer, and not when the manufacturer's warranty expires.
For example, take a look at this product page -- above the 'Add to Cart' button, you'll find information and pricing on the Product Service Plan for this laptop. This product also comes with a one year warranty. The Product Service Plan is not offered on some computers, and you won't be given the option to buy the product with Service Plan on those respective product pages.
