Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 1 14" Business Ultrabook
A certified refurbished 14" ThinkPad ultrabook with 10th Gen Intel Core i5, 16GB memory, 256GB NVMe storage and built-in 4G LTE. Covered by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.
Key benefits
-
Built-in 4G LTE — A Fibocom L860 modem is fitted from the factory, so the machine has its own mobile data connection.
-
16GB memory — Comfortably ahead of the 8GB that most machines of this generation shipped with, and enough for heavy multitasking.
-
Light 14" chassis — The T14s is the thin, travel-oriented ThinkPad — full-size screen and keyboard in a body around 1.3kg.
-
Full ThinkPad keyboard — Spill-resistant, backlit, with the TrackPoint and dedicated mouse buttons.
-
Quad-core 10th Gen processor — The i5-10210U handles Office, Teams, large spreadsheets and dozens of browser tabs without strain.
-
Business security features — TPM 2.0 and a physical camera shutter as standard.
Performance in use
The T14s Gen 1 was Lenovo's thin business flagship for 2020, and it remains a capable everyday machine. The quad-core i5-10210U is well matched to office work: document editing, email, video conferencing and a browser full of tabs all run smoothly.
With 16GB of memory this configuration has real headroom. Where an 8GB machine of the same generation starts swapping to disk under a heavy Chrome and Teams load, this one keeps going.
The built-in Fibocom L860 LTE modem is the feature that sets this apart from the majority of used ThinkPads. For anyone working from client sites, vehicles or shared spaces, a laptop with its own SIM removes a daily friction point.

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
Does it have mobile broadband?
Yes. A Fibocom L860 4G LTE module is fitted. Supply your own nano-SIM and data plan to use it.
How much memory can it take?
This unit has 16GB fitted. The T14s Gen 1 combines soldered memory with limited expansion, so treat 16GB as the working configuration.
Is it a touchscreen?
No. It has a 14" FHD anti-glare non-touch display.
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.
