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.

The ThinkPad T480 packs an Intel Core i5-8250U 8th Gen processor, 16GB DDR4 RAM, and a 256GB NVMe SSD into a durable 1.65kg chassis — available from $269 inc GST with a 12-month warranty from Reboot IT.
In day-to-day business use, the T480 handles Microsoft 365, Outlook with large mailboxes, Chrome or Edge with 15+ tabs, Teams or Zoom video calls, and PDF workflows all running simultaneously. The 16GB DDR4 RAM gives significantly more headroom than standard 8GB configurations — essential for MYOB, Xero, CRM platforms, and multi-window productivity workflows.
For mobile workers, the combination of 8th Gen performance, NVMe SSD speed, and a 1.65kg chassis makes the T480 a practical daily driver. The IR camera enables Windows Hello facial recognition for fast, password-free login. The legendary ThinkPad keyboard delivers accurate, comfortable typing for long writing and data-entry sessions.
The 14-inch HD display (1366×768) is clear and functional for standard office tasks, email, web browsing, and video calls. For users requiring FHD resolution, the T480 is also available in a Full HD panel variant — this unit ships with the HD configuration.

Good value and great quality
Fantastic service
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!
Great service. Product in great condition and exactly what i want. I wanted this for a specific purpose but i dont need to spend $900 on a new one.
Excellent work
exactly as described and works well , just like the staff down there. 10/10
Very happy, thank you
Just having trouble greeting it linked to the internet otherwise it’s okay.
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.
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.
