It came with full Toshiba warranty, but I bought an extended package as a hedge...just "in case." Never have needed service. Works perfectly. Full software package was included. I've since added memory and a larger HD w/o problems. Saved ~1/3 the cost of a new one with the same specs. With care before buying, refurbs can be a great deal.
