Frequently asked questions

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.

Description

Lenovo ThinkCentre M72e SFF — Compact Business Desktop (No OS)

Certified refurbished and backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty, this Lenovo ThinkCentre M72e Small Form Factor pairs a genuine Intel Core i5-3470 quad-core processor with 4GB of memory, a 250GB hard drive and a built-in DVD drive. It ships without an operating system — ready for your own install — making it an affordable base for basic office use, fleet imaging and easy SSD/RAM upgrades.

Key Benefits

  • Genuine quad-core i5: The Intel Core i5-3470 (3rd Gen, 4 cores, 6MB cache) runs at 3.2GHz and turbos to 3.6GHz — real quad-core compute for office tasks, well above dual-core budget alternatives.
  • Easy to upgrade: The SATA bay accepts a standard SSD as a direct replacement, and the DDR3 DIMM slots take more memory — a quick, low-cost path to a much snappier system.
  • Built-in DVD drive: The DVD/RW drive reads and writes CDs and DVDs for installs, backups and legacy media — increasingly rare on modern machines.
  • 250GB of storage: Room for documents, software and everyday files, with a free upgrade path to an SSD whenever you want more speed.
  • Space-saving design: The compact SFF chassis takes up a fraction of the desk space of a full tower — ideal for tight workspaces, reception desks and point-of-sale.
  • Your OS, your way: Supplied with no operating system, so you can deploy your own image, licence or preferred platform without paying for one you don't need.

Performance in Use

The Intel Core i5-3470 is a 3rd-generation Ivy Bridge quad-core processor with four physical cores. For everyday business tasks — web browsing, Microsoft Office, email, PDF review and standard applications — it remains a perfectly capable performer, and the quad-core design handles light multitasking better than the dual-core machines often sold at this price.

This is an entry-level configuration: 4GB of memory and a 250GB hard drive suit basic use out of the box. If you want a noticeably faster, more responsive system, the M72e SFF makes upgrades simple — drop a SATA SSD into the bay and add DDR3 memory, and boot and load times improve dramatically. Intel HD Graphics 2500 handles standard 1080p office and media output, but not 3D or gaming.

Because it ships without an operating system, it's a natural fit for IT teams imaging their own fleet, technicians building to a customer spec, or anyone holding a licence for their preferred platform. Install your OS of choice and it's ready to work.

Condition Grades

A — Excellent Minimal signs of previous use — no deep scratches, cracks, chips or missing pieces. Essentially appears nearly new with only the lightest cosmetic wear.
B — Good Fully functional and professionally refurbished, but may show more visible wear such as light scratches, minor dings or small paint chips on the case — purely cosmetic, with no effect on performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it come with an operating system?

No — this unit ships without an operating system installed. It is ready for you to install your preferred platform or deploy your own image.

Can I replace the hard drive with an SSD?

Yes. The internal SATA bay accepts a standard SATA SSD as a direct replacement, which dramatically improves boot times and responsiveness. This can be done by any technician after purchase.

Can I add more memory?

Yes. The M72e SFF has DDR3 DIMM slots, so additional memory can be fitted to lift it above the 4GB it ships with.

Does it have a DVD drive?

Yes — a built-in DVD/RW drive is included for reading and writing CDs and DVDs.

Can I add a graphics card?

The SFF chassis has a low-profile PCIe slot, so low-profile cards only will fit. A compatible card can enable dual-monitor output and improved graphics.

What does "certified refurbished" actually mean?

Each unit is fully tested with professional diagnostic software, securely data-wiped, cleaned, cosmetically graded and restored to full working order, with any faulty parts replaced using genuine components.

How much does shipping cost?

Shipping costs apply based on size and destination — rates are calculated at checkout. As a full-size desktop this item ships as a freight parcel.

All-in-one Solution for Home Office

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!

Fair tech for price

Fair tech for price, good specs for era, serves the purpose. The black keyboard is an interesting rubber like texture clearly by design to pad the screen and avoid the keyboard touching. Screen is great. Still looking for magic formula to enable computer use in the bright bright sunshine. Keyboard taps are loud for someone who likes silent touch. The perfect PC has to exist, like build a bear.

Works excellently as advertised.

The laptop was sold with a warning about worn keycaps. In fact they had been obviously vandalised (ex school laptops, perhaps?). The keyboard worked fine, and the rest of the laptop too. I'm using it as a file server, so I don't need the keyboard much. So very pleased, and also pleased with reboot-it's service - as always, excellent, and quick responses to any queries.
