Key benefits

• Business-grade processor: i7-5600U — 5th generation Intel, tuned for responsive everyday work.
• Memory and storage: 16GB RAM with a 256GB SATA SSD for fast boots and quick file access.
• Portable build: A 14" display in a chassis built for daily carry.
• Supplied without an operating system: Ready for your own Windows licence, a fresh install or a Linux build.
• 12-month warranty: Backed by Reboot IT in Melbourne, trading since 2001.

Performance in use

The EliteBook 840 G2 is built for people who carry a laptop every day. The i7-5600U paired with 16GB of RAM runs the usual business load — Office, Teams, a browser with plenty open — without fuss, and the 256GB SATA SSD means it wakes and opens files quickly.

It ships without an operating system, so it is a clean base for your own Windows licence, a managed SOE image or a Linux install. That suits a fleet rebuild or anyone who prefers to start from bare metal.

The 14" display and business chassis make it a straightforward desk-and-bag machine.

On upgrades: the drive can be replaced with a larger one. We can quote any of this before dispatch rather than leaving you to open the machine yourself — just ask before you order.

Business laptops like this were specified for corporate fleets, which is why they are worth buying used. They were built for a three-to-five year service life under daily use, with metal-reinforced chassis, spill-resistant keyboards and manufacturer business support behind them. A consumer machine bought for the same outlay was built to a very different standard.

Batteries are consumable and carry a 30-day warranty.

The display

The display is a 14" panel running 1600x900. Worth checking against your own workflow if you work across two windows at once.

It is a matte, non-touch panel. That keeps reflections down under office lighting, which is the trade-off most people making a living on a laptop would choose.

Why buy refurbished

Buying refurbished puts a machine that was specified for a corporate fleet within reach at a fraction of its original cost. The alternative at the same money is usually a new consumer laptop built to a much lower standard — thinner plastics, a slower drive, and a warranty that assumes light use.

It is also the environmentally sound choice. The overwhelming majority of a laptop total carbon footprint is incurred during manufacture, not during the years you use it. Extending the working life of a machine that already exists avoids that cost entirely, and keeps a functional computer out of landfill.

We have been doing exactly this in Melbourne since 2001. Machines are bought from Australian corporate fleets, processed in our own workshop, and sold with a warranty that we honour ourselves rather than passing to a third party.

There is a practical argument too. Business models are produced in volume and stay in service for years, so spare parts, docking stations, chargers and service manuals are all readily available long after the model has left the shelves. A consumer laptop from the same year is often already orphaned, with no parts supply and no way to have it repaired economically.

Battery and power

Battery is the one component in any used laptop that is genuinely consumable, so it is worth being direct about it. We measure capacity on every unit and grade against it: a Grade A machine holds 70% or more of its original design capacity, and a Grade B machine sits between 50% and 70%.

In practice that means a Grade A unit will comfortably cover a morning of ordinary work away from power, while a Grade B unit is better thought of as a machine that runs on mains with the freedom to move between desks and meetings. Neither will match a brand-new battery, and any seller claiming otherwise on a used machine is guessing.

Batteries carry a 30-day warranty rather than the full 12 months, for the same reason tyres are not covered by a car warranty. If the battery in your unit does not perform as its grade suggests, tell us within that window and we will replace it. Replacement batteries are available for this model if you want a fresh one fitted before dispatch.

Buying for a business or team

A good part of what we do is fleet supply, so if you need more than one of these we can usually help. We hold business stock in depth, and where we cannot match a configuration exactly we will tell you what we can match rather than quietly substituting something different.

For volume orders we can supply machines imaged to a standard build, asset-tagged, and delivered in a single consignment to one address or split across sites. Invoicing on account is available for established business customers. Tell us the quantity and the configuration you are after and we will come back with availability.

How we test and grade

Every machine that comes through our Melbourne workshop is data-wiped, hardware-tested and graded before it is listed. Testing covers the processor, memory, storage health, display, keyboard, trackpad, ports, wireless, camera, audio and battery capacity.

Grading is cosmetic, and we grade conservatively — a unit that could arguably pass as Excellent is listed as Good rather than the other way round. What we will not do is list a machine with a functional fault as merely cosmetically worn.

If something is not right when it arrives, contact us and we will sort it out. That is what the warranty is for, and it is why we have been able to keep trading on repeat business since 2001.

Frequently asked questions

What condition will it arrive in?

Every unit is tested and graded before dispatch. Excellent means minimal cosmetic marks; Good means light wear consistent with normal use. Both are fully functional and cleaned.

Does it come with a warranty?

Yes — a 12-month warranty from Reboot IT, plus a 30-day battery warranty. We have traded in Melbourne since 2001.

What about the battery?

Grade A units hold 70% or more of original battery capacity, Grade B between 50% and 70%. Batteries are consumable and carry a 30-day warranty.

Does it include Windows?

No — this unit is supplied without an operating system, so you can install your own licence, a managed image or a Linux distribution.

Is shipping included?

Yes — free standard shipping anywhere in Australia.

What is not covered by the warranty?

Accidental damage, liquid damage, and normal consumable wear — chiefly the battery beyond its 30-day term — are outside the warranty. Hardware faults that appear in normal use are covered for the full 12 months.

What happens to the data from the previous owner?

Every drive is wiped before the machine is graded, so the unit arrives with no trace of its previous life. Machines come out of Australian corporate fleets and the data handling is part of what those clients pay us for.

Can I buy several for a team?

Yes. We hold business stock and can quote on volume — get in touch with the quantity and configuration you need.
