Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 2 — 14" FHD Touch with 4G LTE and Smart Card Reader
A professionally tested and graded 14-inch ultraslim business laptop built around Intel’s 11th Generation Core i5-1135G7 with 16GB of LPDDR4x memory and a 512GB self-encrypting NVMe SSD, running Windows 11 Pro. This configuration carries the full enterprise set — a Full HD touchscreen, factory-fitted 4G LTE, and an integrated smart card reader — and is backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty with free standard AU shipping.
Key Benefits
-
Smart card reader and 4G LTE together: An integrated smart card reader for PIV, CAC and corporate badge sign-on, plus a factory-fitted Quectel CAT12 LTE modem with a nano-SIM slot. That pairing is exactly what government, health and finance deployments specify, and it is rare to find both on a refurbished machine.
-
14" Full HD touchscreen: A 1920×1080 IPS panel at 300 nits with an anti-glare finish and full touch input — document review, sign-off and form-heavy work are all faster by hand than by trackpad.
-
512GB self-encrypting SSD: An OPAL 2.0 drive, so full-disk encryption runs in hardware rather than costing CPU cycles. Twice the storage of the usual 256GB business build.
-
11th Gen Core i5 with 16GB: A 4-core, 8-thread processor with Intel Iris Xe graphics and 16GB of LPDDR4x, comfortably handling a full inbox, heavy spreadsheets and video calls at once.
-
Thunderbolt 4 and ThinkShutter: Two USB-C ports carry USB4, Thunderbolt 4 and DisplayPort for single-cable docking, while the infrared camera adds Windows Hello face sign-in behind a physical ThinkShutter privacy cover.
-
12-month warranty & free AU shipping: Every unit is tested, graded and covered by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty, with free standard shipping anywhere in Australia.
Performance In Use
For day-to-day business work the T14s Gen 2 is comfortably quick. The 11th Generation Core i5-1135G7 with Intel Iris Xe graphics, 16GB of LPDDR4x and a fast NVMe drive handles the everyday grind — a full inbox, a heavy spreadsheet, a browser stacked with reference tabs and a Teams or Zoom call — without making you wait on the hardware.
Where this particular unit stands apart is the security and connectivity set. Organisations that issue smart cards or proximity badges normally have to specify a reader at purchase or bolt on a USB dongle; this machine has one built into the palmrest. Add the factory LTE modem and a nano-SIM tray, and a field officer or clinician can authenticate with their card and connect over cellular without touching a public Wi-Fi network. For regulated environments that combination is often a requirement rather than a preference.
It travels properly too. At roughly 1.27kg in an ultraslim ThinkPad chassis, with Thunderbolt 4 for single-cable docking and a touchscreen for reviewing and signing on the move, this is a machine designed to work at a desk and then leave with you. The self-encrypting drive means data at rest is protected in hardware if it is ever lost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this laptop new or refurbished?
It is a professionally refurbished business laptop. Each unit is inspected, tested, cleaned and graded by our Melbourne team before it ships.
Does it really have a smart card reader?
Yes. This unit was factory-configured with an integrated smart card reader in the palmrest, so PIV, CAC and corporate badge authentication work without an external reader.
Does the 4G LTE work, and is a SIM included?
The unit has a factory-fitted Quectel CAT12 LTE modem and a nano-SIM tray. No SIM or data plan is included — supply your own from any Australian carrier. Coverage and speed depend on your carrier and location.
Is the screen a touchscreen?
Yes. This unit was factory-built with a Full HD touch panel, confirmed against Lenovo's as-built parts record for this exact serial.
What does "self-encrypting" mean?
The SSD supports the OPAL 2.0 standard, so full-disk encryption is handled by the drive's own controller rather than the processor. Encryption is always on at the hardware level and does not slow the machine down.
Can I upgrade the memory later?
No. The 16GB of LPDDR4x memory is soldered to the mainboard on the T14s, so 16GB is both the installed and maximum capacity. The M.2 NVMe drive is replaceable if you need more storage.
Does it come with a charger?
Yes, a compatible USB-C power adapter is included so the laptop is ready to use on arrival.
How much does shipping cost?
This laptop qualifies for free standard AU shipping, delivered anywhere in Australia at no extra cost.
What warranty is included?
Every unit is covered by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty, with an additional 30-day battery warranty for peace of mind.
