Adding "a certified technician" and will be resold with a limited warranty. Typically 90 days.

I've bought many HP refurbished laptops directly from HP. These are 'refurbished' by HP to 'like new' factory condition and carry a 90 day warranty. Many credit cards will double this warranty. HP also typically provides a 3 year extended warranty for about $99.
