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

Apple iPad 5th Gen 9.7" 32GB Space Grey — Wi-Fi + Cellular Tablet

The iPad 5th Generation pairs Apple's A9 chip with a 9.7-inch Retina display and Wi-Fi + Cellular connectivity — a versatile tablet for browsing, streaming, light productivity, and education that stays connected anywhere with built-in 4G LTE. Every unit is professionally refurbished by Reboot IT (Melbourne, est. 2001) and backed by a full 12-month warranty.

Key Benefits

  • Apple A9 Chip: Dual-core 1.8GHz processor with M9 motion coprocessor — handles everyday apps, web browsing, and HD video streaming smoothly.
  • 9.7-inch Retina Display: 2048x1536 IPS LCD at 264 ppi — crisp text, vibrant colour, and wide viewing angles ideal for reading, video, and creative work.
  • Wi-Fi + Cellular Connectivity: Built-in 4G LTE with nano-SIM slot — stay online beyond Wi-Fi range, perfect for travel, fieldwork, and mobile productivity.
  • Touch ID Fingerprint Sensor: Fast, secure fingerprint authentication for device unlock and Apple Pay payments.
  • All-Day Battery: Up to 10 hours of Wi-Fi browsing or video playback, 9 hours over cellular — easily covers a full work or study day.
  • Compact and Portable: 240 x 169.5 x 7.5mm, 478g — easy to carry in any bag and comfortable to hold for extended use.

Performance in Use

The A9 chip remains a capable processor for tablet workloads. Email, web browsing, document editing, video conferencing, and HD streaming all run smoothly. The 2GB RAM keeps frequently used apps loaded so switching between tasks is fast and responsive.

The Retina display is the standout feature. At 2048x1536 resolution and 264 ppi, text appears crisp, photos and video look colour-accurate, and the wide IPS viewing angles make this iPad equally usable in landscape, portrait, or shared viewing scenarios. The display is also bright enough for outdoor use in shaded conditions.

Cellular connectivity is the differentiator from Wi-Fi-only models. Insert any Australian carrier nano-SIM (Telstra, Optus, Vodafone, or MVNO) and the iPad maintains internet access on the train, in the car, at a worksite, or wherever your day takes you — no need to tether through a phone or rely on public Wi-Fi.
