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

Dell Latitude 5290 — 12.5" Compact Business Laptop

A genuinely small 12.5-inch business laptop with a quad-core Core i5, 8GB of memory and a 256GB SSD, running Windows 11 Pro. Supplied with a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.

Key benefits

  • 12.5-inch footprint — one of the smallest business laptops Dell made, and noticeably easier to carry than a 14-inch machine.
  • Quad-core i5-8350U with vPro — four cores and eight threads, with hardware management support for managed fleets.
  • 256GB SSD — fast solid-state storage with quick boot and wake.
  • Business-grade security — a smart card reader and TPM, standard on the Latitude 5000 line.
  • Full-size ports — HDMI, USB-A and Ethernet on the machine itself, no dongle required.
  • Windows 11 Pro — domain join, BitLocker and Group Policy included.

Performance in use

The 5290 exists for people who put a laptop in a bag every day. At 12.5 inches it is smaller than almost anything else in the business range, and yet it keeps full-size HDMI, USB-A and Ethernet ports rather than pushing you towards a dock.

The i5-8350U is a quad-core, eight-thread processor with vPro support. Paired with 8GB of memory and an SSD, it handles the daily load comfortably — email, Office, a browser session and video calls. It is a machine for getting work done rather than for heavy multitasking.

The trade-off for the size is the screen: 12.5 inches at HD resolution is compact, and users who work across several windows at once will prefer a larger, higher-resolution panel. For travel, site work and hot-desking it is exactly the right shape.

Frequently asked questions

What size is the screen?

This is the 12.5-inch Latitude 5290 clamshell. Dell also made a 12.3-inch 5290 2-in-1 detachable, which is a different machine — this is not that model.

Does it have a touchscreen?

No. This unit has a non-touch HD display.

Can the memory be upgraded?

The Latitude 5290 uses socketed memory, so it is serviceable. Contact us before purchase if you need a different configuration.

Is Windows included and licensed?

Yes. Windows 11 Pro is installed and licensed.

What condition will it arrive in?

See the condition grades table above. Both grades are fully tested and functional.

How is it shipped?

Free standard AU shipping is included, dispatched from our Melbourne workshop.

What warranty applies?

A 12-month Reboot IT warranty, plus a 30-day battery warranty.
