Dell Precision 358115.6" FHD Touch i7-13800H RTX A500 32GB 512GB 4G LTE W11P

Dell Precision 3581 15.6" Mobile Workstation with Touch and 4G LTE

A certified refurbished 15.6" mobile workstation with a 14-core Intel Core i7-13800H vPro Enterprise, NVIDIA RTX A500 graphics, 32GB DDR5, a touchscreen and built-in 4G LTE. Covered by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.

Key benefits

• 13th Gen 14-core processor — The i7-13800H is a 45W H-series chip boosting to 5.20GHz, one of the fastest mobile processors Dell fitted to this class.
• Professional RTX A500 graphics — A dedicated NVIDIA workstation GPU with 4GB GDDR6 and certified drivers for CAD and design applications.
• Touchscreen and 4G LTE together — An unusual combination on a workstation — a 15.6" FHD touch panel plus a CAT16 modem with eSIM support.
• 32GB DDR5-4800 — Dual-channel DDR5 for large models, datasets and virtual machines.
• 97Wh battery — Among the largest batteries fitted to a 15" workstation, for real portability.
• vPro Enterprise management — Full Intel vPro Enterprise support for managed corporate fleets.

Performance in use

The Precision 3581 is Dell's current-generation 15" mobile workstation, and this is a high specification of it. The i7-13800H brings 14 cores and a 5.20GHz boost within a 45W envelope, which puts it comfortably ahead of the U-series and P-series chips used in business ultrabooks.

The RTX A500 is a professional graphics card rather than a consumer one. Its value is in certified drivers for packages like AutoCAD, Revit and SolidWorks, delivering stable viewport behaviour. It is the entry point of NVIDIA's professional range, well matched to 2D and mid-complexity 3D work rather than heavy rendering.

What makes this particular unit unusual is the combination of a touchscreen and a CAT16 LTE modem with eSIM. Workstations are normally desk-bound machines; this one is configured for genuine field use — site inspections, client presentations and working from vehicles.

What we check before it is listed

Every machine that comes through our Melbourne workshop is put through the same intake process before it reaches this page. It is not a visual check — each unit is powered up, tested component by component, and the results recorded against its serial number.

• Hardware scan — processor, memory, storage, display panel, graphics and wireless are all identified and verified against the manufacturer's original factory configuration for that specific serial number, so the specification on this page reflects the machine you receive.
• Storage health — SMART data is read from the drive, including power-on hours and reallocated sectors. Drives showing early warning signs are replaced rather than listed.
• Battery condition — measured against design capacity and recorded as a percentage. Grade A units hold 70% or more of original capacity, Grade B between 50% and 70%.
• Secure data erasure — every drive is wiped to recognised data destruction standards before reimaging. Nothing from the previous owner survives the process.
• Functional testing — keyboard, trackpad, ports, camera, microphone, speakers, wireless and display are each checked by hand.
• Cosmetic grading — the chassis, lid, palm rest and screen are inspected under light and graded honestly, with any notable marks recorded.

Anything that fails goes to our repair bench rather than to the shelf. That is why our returns rate sits well below the industry norm for refurbished equipment.

Why buy refurbished from Reboot IT

Reboot IT has been supplying certified refurbished business technology from Melbourne since 2001. Most of what we sell comes out of corporate and government fleets at the end of a lease — machines that were specified for business use, maintained under contract, and retired on a schedule rather than because anything was wrong with them. That is why a refurbished business laptop routinely outlasts a new consumer one at the same price.

Choosing refurbished also keeps working equipment out of landfill. Manufacturing a new laptop accounts for the large majority of its lifetime carbon footprint, so extending the life of an existing machine is one of the more effective decisions an organisation can make on its IT emissions — without asking anyone to accept less capable hardware.

Frequently asked questions

How does the RTX A500 compare to the RTX A1000?

The A500 is the entry tier of NVIDIA's professional mobile range and the A1000 sits above it. Both use certified workstation drivers; the A1000 has more compute units and suits heavier 3D work, while the A500 is well matched to 2D CAD, BIM and design.

Does the 4G LTE include eSIM?

Yes. The fitted Intel XMM 7560R (DW5823e) is a CAT16 module supporting both a physical nano-SIM and eSIM provisioning.

Is the touchscreen standard on the 3581?

No, it is an option and most units do not have it. This unit's touch panel was verified against Dell factory configuration records.

What is included in the box?

The laptop and a compatible power adapter. Original packaging, manuals and accessories are not included unless specifically noted.

How is shipping handled?

Free standard shipping across Australia. Orders placed before 2pm on a business day are typically dispatched the same day from our Melbourne warehouse, with tracking supplied by email.

What testing has it been through?

Every unit is inspected, hardware-tested, data-wiped to recognised standards and reimaged before listing. Battery health, display, ports, keyboard, camera and wireless are all checked as part of intake, and the specification is verified against the manufacturer's factory records for that serial number.

How does the warranty work if something fails?

Contact us directly and our Melbourne team will arrange assessment, repair or replacement. There is no offshore call centre and no third-party administrator between you and the resolution.

Has the previous owner's data been removed?

Yes. Every drive is securely erased to recognised data destruction standards and the operating system freshly reimaged before the machine is listed for sale.

Can schools, businesses and government buy on account?

Yes. We supply schools, government departments and businesses across Australia and can accept purchase orders. Get in touch if you need a quote for volume or a formal PO arrangement.
