What does the warranty cover?
Our warranty covers all hardware faults, but please note it doesn’t cover accidental damage or software issues. However, we’re here to help with technical support for those matters!
What is a refurbished device?
A refurbished device is a pre-owned item that has been restored to meet high-quality standards. At Reboot IT, we adhere to strict quality guidelines, ensuring that our refurbished products are not the same as used or secondhand items. We meticulously clean, test, and assess each device, replacing worn parts with high-quality components.
Unlike used items, which lack guarantees and rely solely on the seller's word regarding condition, refurbished devices come with assurance of quality and reliability.
What payment options are available?
We offer a variety of payment options to make your shopping experience as convenient as possible! You can pay using all major credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay, Afterpay, Zip Pay, and PayPal. If you prefer, we also accept bank deposits and even cash for in-store purchases!

A genuinely small business machine that still runs a quad-core Intel Core i5-8350U vPro with 16GB of memory and a 256GB SSD, on Windows 11 Pro. Built for people who carry a laptop all day rather than move it between desks, and backed by a 12-month warranty from Reboot IT.
The 5290 is built around portability. At 12.5" it is noticeably smaller than the 14" machines that dominate business fleets, which matters if the laptop lives in a bag rather than on a desk — site visits, client meetings, hot-desking, commuting, or simply working from a cafe table that will not take a larger footprint. Dell built the chassis to its business standard rather than as a thin-and-light consumer machine, so it tolerates being carried.
Inside, the i5-8350U is a quad-core part rather than the dual-core chips common in small laptops of this era. Four cores and eight threads at up to 3.6GHz handle the everyday load properly: a large spreadsheet recalculating while Teams runs in the background, twenty or thirty browser tabs, a remote desktop session into the office. The 16GB of memory is the specification that makes the difference here — most 5290s shipped with 8GB, and the extra headroom is what stops the machine slowing down as the working day accumulates applications.
Be clear-eyed about the display: this unit has the HD 1366x768 panel, not the Full HD option. For documents, email, line-of-business applications and remote sessions it is perfectly workable, and the smaller screen keeps battery life and weight down. If you routinely put two documents side by side or work in large spreadsheets, a Full HD machine will serve you better and we list plenty of those.

Is this the Latitude 5290 2-in-1 tablet?
No. Dell sold two different machines under the 5290 name. This is the clamshell laptop with a fixed hinge and a standard keyboard, not the detachable 2-in-1 tablet.
What screen resolution does it have?
This unit has the 12.5" HD 1366x768 panel. The 5290 was also sold with a Full HD screen, but that is a different configuration to this one.
Is Windows 11 Pro genuine and already activated?
Yes. Windows 11 Pro is installed and licensed, ready to use from first boot. Pro includes BitLocker encryption, domain join and Remote Desktop host.
Can I upgrade the memory or storage later?
The 5290 uses standard DDR4 SODIMM memory and an M.2 SSD, both of which a technician can change. Doing so does not affect your warranty with us.
Does it have a touchscreen?
No. This unit has a standard non-touch display.
What is included in the box?
The laptop and a compatible power adapter. Original packaging and manuals are not included.
How long does delivery take?
Orders are dispatched from our Melbourne warehouse on business days, with free standard AU shipping included. Metropolitan deliveries typically arrive within 2–5 business days.
This laptop is covered by a 12-month warranty from Reboot IT, with batteries covered for 30 days. If something is not right, you deal with a local team — not an overseas call centre.
Reboot IT has been refurbishing business IT in Melbourne since 2001. Every machine is data-wiped, tested, cleaned and graded by our own technicians before it ships. Free standard AU shipping is included, and our support team is contactable through reboot-it.com.au.

Fantastic service
I was looking for an in-expensive all-in-one solution for my home office to replace my existing desktop and monitor. I found this EliteOne 800 on reboot IT for under $200. I wasn't sure what to expect. It arrived within two days!!!! I upgraded the RAM, replaced the HDD and installed Windows 11. This is unbeatable value and was the cheapest price online. Coupled with a 3-month warranty, Reboot IT are by far the best online refurbished retailer I have used. Awesome!
Great service. Product in great condition and exactly what i want. I wanted this for a specific purpose but i dont need to spend $900 on a new one.
Excellent work
