Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 2 14" Business Ultrabook
A certified refurbished 14" ThinkPad ultrabook built on the six-core AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U, with 16GB of memory, a 256GB SSD and Windows 11 Pro. Covered by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.
Key benefits
-
Six cores, twelve threads — The Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U has half again as many cores as the four-core Intel chips it competed with, which shows up directly in compile times, large spreadsheets and video calls with everything else still open.
-
16GB of memory — Ahead of the 8GB most machines of this era shipped with, and enough to keep a heavy browser session, Teams and Office running without swapping to disk.
-
Windows 11 Pro — Ready for domain join, BitLocker and Group Policy out of the box, with no upgrade step required.
-
Genuinely light — Around 1.27kg in a full 14" chassis, so it carries like a 13" machine without shrinking the screen or the keyboard.
-
Full ThinkPad keyboard — Spill-resistant and backlit, with the TrackPoint and dedicated mouse buttons intact.
-
Business security built in — AMD PRO platform security, a fingerprint reader and a physical camera shutter as standard.
Performance in use
The T14s Gen 2 was the point where AMD's Ryzen PRO chips became the interesting option in a business ThinkPad rather than the budget one. The Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U is a six-core, twelve-thread part built on Zen 3, running at 2.3GHz base and boosting to around 4.2GHz. Against the four-core ultrabook processors it shared shelf space with, the extra cores are most obvious when several demanding things happen at once.
In practice that means a full working day's worth of applications open together — a browser with thirty tabs, Teams in a call, Outlook, a couple of large workbooks — without the machine becoming sluggish when you switch between them. The integrated Radeon graphics are also a step up on the Intel equivalents of the period, enough for smooth external display work and light photo editing, though not for 3D or serious video rendering.
The 256GB NVMe SSD keeps boot and application launch times short. Where this configuration earns its place is sustained multitasking on the move: it is light enough to carry all day, and it does not slow down when you ask it to do several things at once.

What we check before it is listed
Every machine that comes through our Melbourne workshop is powered up and tested component by component, with the results recorded against its serial number.
-
Hardware scan — processor, memory, storage, display panel, graphics and wireless are identified and verified against the manufacturer's original factory configuration for that serial number.
-
Storage health — SMART data is read from the drive. Drives showing early warning signs are replaced rather than listed.
-
Battery condition — measured against design capacity and recorded as a percentage.
-
Secure data erasure — every drive is wiped to recognised data destruction standards before reimaging.
-
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.
Frequently asked questions
Is this an Intel or AMD machine?
AMD. It runs a Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U, a six-core twelve-thread processor from AMD's business PRO line, with integrated Radeon graphics.
Can the memory be upgraded?
No. The T14s Gen 2 uses soldered LPDDR4x memory, so the 16GB fitted here is the working configuration for the life of the machine.
Is it a touchscreen?
No. This configuration has a 14" FHD anti-glare non-touch display.
Does it come with Windows 11?
Yes. It ships with Windows 11 Pro installed and activated, so there is no upgrade step to complete.
What is included in the box?
The laptop and a compatible power adapter. Original packaging, manuals and accessories are not included unless specifically noted.
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.

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.
