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.

HP ProDesk 280 G2 MT — Compact Business Desktop

A reliable compact micro-tower desktop built for everyday business. The ProDesk 280 G2 MT pairs a quad-core Intel Core i5-6500 with 8GB DDR4 RAM and a fast 128GB SSD in a space-efficient chassis — delivering dependable performance for office work, digital signage, and multi-screen productivity. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.

Why Choose the HP ProDesk 280 G2 MT?

  • Quad-core i5-6500 performance: 4 cores at 3.2GHz base, up to 3.6GHz turbo — handles office apps, web-based tools, and video calls without breaking a sweat.
  • Fast SSD storage: 128GB SSD delivers quick boot times and snappy application response compared to traditional hard drives.
  • Compact micro-tower: Small enough to fit in tight spaces or mount under a desk, yet expandable with full desktop-class slots and drive bays.
  • Triple-display capable: Intel HD Graphics 530 drives up to three monitors simultaneously via DisplayPort, HDMI, and VGA — no docking station required.
  • Broad connectivity: Multiple USB 3.0 ports, USB-C, Gigabit Ethernet, and front-panel audio for flexible peripheral support.
  • Enterprise security: TPM chip and HP BIOS security features for business IT deployments.

Performance in Use

The Core i5-6500 is a 65W desktop-class processor delivering consistent performance across productivity workloads. Running Microsoft 365, web-based tools, Outlook, Teams, and CRM applications simultaneously is well within its capabilities — without the thermal throttling concerns of laptop processors in the same generation.

The 128GB SSD makes a meaningful difference to day-to-day usability: Windows boots in seconds, applications launch quickly, and the system responds well to multitasking. For teams handling large files or databases, the SSD can be supplemented with additional 3.5" or 2.5" SATA drives using the available internal bays.

Triple-display support via DisplayPort, HDMI, and VGA is a genuine differentiator for office and kiosk deployments. Combined with the compact micro-tower chassis, this makes the ProDesk 280 G2 MT a versatile unit for front-desk, point-of-sale, and multi-screen analyst setups where desk space is at a premium.

All-in-one Solution for Home Office

I was looking for an in-expensive all-in-one solution for my home office to replace my existing desktop and monitor. I found this EliteOne 800 on reboot IT for under $200. I wasn't sure what to expect. It arrived within two days!!!! I upgraded the RAM, replaced the HDD and installed Windows 11. This is unbeatable value and was the cheapest price online. Coupled with a 3-month warranty, Reboot IT are by far the best online refurbished retailer I have used. Awesome!

Fair tech for price

Fair tech for price, good specs for era, serves the purpose. The black keyboard is an interesting rubber like texture clearly by design to pad the screen and avoid the keyboard touching. Screen is great. Still looking for magic formula to enable computer use in the bright bright sunshine. Keyboard taps are loud for someone who likes silent touch. The perfect PC has to exist, like build a bear.

Works excellently as advertised.

The laptop was sold with a warning about worn keycaps. In fact they had been obviously vandalised (ex school laptops, perhaps?). The keyboard worked fine, and the rest of the laptop too. I'm using it as a file server, so I don't need the keyboard much. So very pleased, and also pleased with reboot-it's service - as always, excellent, and quick responses to any queries.
