Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Gen 3 13.3" Premium Business Ultrabook
A certified refurbished 13.3" ThinkPad with a 12-core Intel Core i7-1270P vPro, 32GB LPDDR5 memory, 512GB storage, a 16:10 WUXGA display and built-in 4G LTE. Covered by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.
Key benefits
-
32GB LPDDR5-6400 memory — Double the memory of a typical business ultrabook, on the fastest LPDDR5 standard — genuinely rare in a 13" machine.
-
12-core P-series processor — The i7-1270P is a 28W part with 12 cores, considerably more capable than the 15W U-series chips usually found at this size.
-
Taller 16:10 WUXGA display — 1920 x 1200 gives roughly 11% more vertical space than a standard 1920 x 1080 panel — more document, less scrolling.
-
Built-in 4G LTE — A Quectel EM05-G modem is fitted for mobile data without tethering.
-
Wi-Fi 6E — The AX211 adds the 6GHz band, for less congestion in busy offices and apartment buildings.
-
1080p IR camera — A full-HD webcam with infrared for Windows Hello face sign-in and a physical privacy shutter.
Performance in use
The X13 Gen 3 in this configuration is close to the top of what a 13" business machine can be. The i7-1270P is a P-series processor with a 28W envelope and 12 cores, so it behaves far more like a workstation chip than the 15W parts normally fitted to ultraportables.
32GB of LPDDR5-6400 is the headline. Very few 13" laptops of any generation ship with this much memory, and it makes the machine suitable for virtual machines, large datasets, heavy IDE work and dozens of simultaneous applications.
The 16:10 WUXGA panel at 300 nits is well suited to document and code work, where vertical space matters more than width. Combined with Wi-Fi 6E and built-in LTE, it is a genuinely well-equipped machine for anyone who works away from a desk.

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
Can the 32GB memory be upgraded?
No. LPDDR5 is soldered to the mainboard on the X13 Gen 3. 32GB is already the top configuration Lenovo offered for this model.
What does the P in i7-1270P mean?
P-series is Intel's 28W performance tier, sitting between the 15W U-series found in most ultrabooks and the 45W H-series in workstations. It delivers noticeably better sustained performance.
Is the display touch?
No. This unit has a non-touch WUXGA anti-glare panel.
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.
