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.

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!

Description

HP 15s-fq5xxx — 15.6" Full HD Laptop with 12th Gen Core i5

A certified refurbished HP 15s built around a 12th Gen Intel Core i5-1235U, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB NVMe SSD, on a 15.6-inch Full HD display running Windows 11 Pro. Professionally tested and backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.

Key Benefits

  • 12th Gen 10-core processor: The Core i5-1235U pairs two performance cores with eight efficient cores, so heavier work gets the fast cores while background tasks stay out of the way.
  • Fast NVMe storage: The 256GB PCIe NVMe SSD boots in seconds and keeps applications and file transfers responsive.
  • Full HD 15.6-inch screen: A 1920x1080 panel gives you sharp text and genuine room to work with two documents side by side.
  • Windows 11 Pro included: BitLocker encryption, Remote Desktop and domain join are ready to go — the business edition, not Home.
  • Intel Iris Xe graphics: Integrated Iris Xe handles 1080p streaming, video calls and light photo work comfortably.
  • Certified refurbished: Fully tested, data-wiped, cleaned and graded by Reboot IT, with a 12-month warranty and free standard AU shipping.

Performance in Use

This is a current-generation chassis at a refurbished price, and the 12th Gen hybrid processor is what separates it from older 15-inch machines. Browser tabs, Microsoft 365, Teams and a video call all run together without the machine labouring, because the efficient cores absorb the background load while the performance cores stay free for whatever you are actually doing.

The 15.6-inch Full HD panel is the practical reason to choose this size. Spreadsheets show more rows, documents sit comfortably side by side, and long reading sessions are easier than on a 13-inch screen. Paired with the NVMe SSD, the machine wakes and loads almost instantly rather than making you wait.

With 8GB of RAM it is a very capable everyday and study machine rather than a heavy content-creation workstation. If you routinely run virtual machines or large image and video projects, look for a 16GB configuration instead.

Can the RAM or storage be upgraded?

The HP 15s uses a single SODIMM memory slot and an M.2 NVMe SSD, both of which a technician can typically upgrade later.

Is it suitable for study and working from home?

Yes. The 12th Gen processor, NVMe SSD and Full HD screen make it a comfortable daily machine for research, documents, video calls and streaming.

Both are fully tested and functional. Excellent units show minimal marks and 70%+ battery health; Good units show more visible wear and 50–70% battery health.
