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.

What payment options are available?

We offer a variety of payment options to make your shopping experience as convenient as possible! You can pay using all major credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay, Afterpay, Zip Pay, and PayPal. If you prefer, we also accept bank deposits and even cash for in-store purchases!

Lenovo ThinkPad T480 — 14" Touch Business Laptop with 32GB RAM & Dual Battery

The Lenovo ThinkPad T480 combines an 8th Gen Intel Core i5, a generous 32GB of DDR4 memory, a fast 256GB NVMe SSD and a 14" Full HD touchscreen in a famously rugged ThinkPad chassis with a swappable dual-battery system for all-day runtime. Backed by Reboot IT's 12-month warranty and free standard AU shipping.

Key Benefits

  • Intel Core i5-8350U vPro: 4 cores / 8 threads up to 3.6 GHz turbo — comfortably handles Excel models, Teams calls, dozens of browser tabs and light virtualisation.
  • Maxed-out 32GB DDR4 memory: the T480's ceiling spec — ample headroom for VMs, Power BI workbooks, Lightroom catalogues and heavy multitasking with zero paging to disk.
  • 256GB PCIe NVMe SSD: OPAL self-encrypting M.2 storage — boots to Windows 11 in seconds and launches Office apps instantly.
  • 14" Full HD IPS touchscreen: matte anti-glare 1920×1080 panel with capacitive touch for natural Windows 11 gestures, on-screen signing and note-taking.
  • Dual-battery system: internal cell plus a hot-swappable external battery — swap on the go without shutting down for genuinely all-day runtime.
  • Enterprise security & connectivity: USB-C with DisplayPort, dual USB-A 3.1, HDMI, RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth, fingerprint reader, IR Windows Hello camera and TPM 2.0.

Performance in Use

For everyday business work the T480 feels effortless. Boot to Windows 11 Pro takes around 10 seconds, the NVMe SSD makes Outlook, Excel and Teams launch instantly, and 32GB of RAM means you can keep dozens of Edge or Chrome tabs open alongside Teams, Power BI workbooks and Excel models without any slowdown.

The 4-core / 8-thread i5-8350U with vPro is a sweet-spot business CPU — strong enough for light virtualisation, Docker containers, large pivot tables and Lightroom catalogue work, while sipping power for excellent battery life. The 10-point Full HD touchscreen adds real value for scrolling long PDFs, signing documents on-screen and quick navigation in Windows 11.

What really sets the T480 apart is its Power Bridge dual-battery design. The internal cell keeps the machine running while you hot-swap the external battery, so mixed office workloads typically deliver 8–12 hours of real-world runtime — and you can carry a charged spare instead of a charger. The legendary ThinkPad spill-resistant backlit keyboard with TrackPoint makes it a comfortable, all-day productivity machine for anyone who types for a living.
