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.

Lenovo ThinkCentre M72e SFF — Compact Business Desktop

The Lenovo ThinkCentre M72e is a proven business-class Small Form Factor desktop delivering dependable quad-core performance with the Intel Core i5-3470 (3rd Gen), 12GB DDR3 RAM, and a 250GB SATA hard drive — priced at $135 inc-GST, this Excellent-grade unit is backed by Reboot IT's 12-month warranty and free Australian shipping. No operating system is included; you'll need to install Windows 10 or Linux before use.

Why Choose the Lenovo ThinkCentre M72e SFF?

  • i5 quad-core at a budget price: The i5-3470 runs 4 cores at up to 3.6GHz Turbo, delivering genuine quad-core compute power for office tasks, web, and light multitasking — well above dual-core budget alternatives.
  • 12GB DDR3 RAM: An above-average 12GB gives comfortable headroom for multitasking, running multiple browser tabs, and light data work — more than the typical 8GB shipped on many budget desktops.
  • 250GB SATA storage: Adequate local storage for documents, software, and user data — and the internal SATA bay accepts a larger drive or SSD upgrade any time you need more.
  • Built-in DVD/RW optical drive: Increasingly rare on modern desktops — ideal for reading legacy discs, installing software from media, or burning backups.
  • Space-saving SFF chassis: The Small Form Factor design takes up a fraction of the desk space of a full tower — ideal for tight workspaces, reception desks, and point-of-sale environments.
  • 12-month Reboot IT warranty: Excellent-grade unit tested by our Melbourne technicians, backed by our full hardware warranty since 2001.

Performance in Everyday Use

The Intel Core i5-3470 is a 3rd Generation Ivy Bridge quad-core processor running at 3.2GHz base with up to 3.6GHz Turbo Boost and 6MB of L3 cache. Four physical cores and Turbo headroom handle everyday tasks well: web browsing, Microsoft Office, email, PDF review, and standard business applications all run smoothly. The 12GB of DDR3 RAM is a particular strength — more than the base 8GB many budget units ship with, giving comfortable headroom for multitasking throughout the day.

The 250GB SATA hard drive provides sufficient local storage for a standard office workstation. Boot times will be slower than an SSD-equipped system — if speed is a priority, the M72e SFF's SATA bay accepts a standard SATA SSD as a straightforward upgrade. The Intel HD Graphics 2500 handles standard 1080p display output via the rear ports; adequate for office use, web browsing, and media playback, though not suited for 3D or gaming workloads.

This unit ships with no operating system installed. Windows 10 Pro is compatible with the i5-3470 and can be installed from a USB or disc after purchase. For IT-managed environments this is an advantage — deploy your own image. For home users, a Windows licence or Linux distribution is needed before the machine is ready to use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the ThinkCentre M72e SFF come with an operating system?

No — this unit ships with no operating system installed. You will need to provide and install Windows 10 (compatible with this CPU), Linux, or another OS before use. Windows licences are available separately from Reboot IT.

Can I upgrade the RAM?

Yes. The M72e SFF supports DDR3 DIMM modules. This unit ships with 12GB installed. Additional modules can be fitted to reach the maximum supported capacity.

Can I replace the HDD with an SSD?

Yes. The internal SATA bay accepts a standard SATA SSD as a direct replacement. Upgrading significantly improves boot times and responsiveness — this can be done after purchase by any technician.

Can I add a dedicated GPU?

The M72e SFF has a low-profile PCIe slot. SFF units require low-profile cards — full-height cards will not fit. A compatible card enables dual monitor output and improved graphics beyond the integrated HD 2500.

Does Reboot IT offer free shipping?

Yes — all orders include free tracked shipping to any Australian address, dispatched from our Melbourne warehouse within 1–5 business days.

12-Month Warranty & Reboot IT Assurance

This Lenovo ThinkCentre M72e SFF comes with a full 12-month Reboot IT warranty covering hardware faults. Our Melbourne-based team handles repairs or replacements — no overseas calls, no runaround. Reboot IT has been refurbishing business-grade IT equipment since 2001.

Every unit is tested before dispatch: all ports, drives, optical drive, display output, and power-on functionality verified. You receive a ready-to-use compact desktop, not a gamble.

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.
