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!

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.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 6 — Premium Refurbished Business Ultrabook
Premium carbon fibre ultrabook featuring Intel Core i5-8250U 8th Gen quad-core processor, 8GB LPDDR3 RAM, 256GB NVMe SSD, and a 14-inch Full HD IPS display — weighing just 1.13kg with a 12-month warranty from Reboot IT.
Why the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 6 Stands Apart
- Intel Core i5-8250U 8th Gen Quad-Core: Kaby Lake Refresh delivers 1.6GHz base with 3.4GHz turbo — four cores and eight threads that handle demanding business workloads, multitasking, and video conferencing with efficiency to spare.
- Carbon Fibre Chassis at 1.13kg: One of the lightest 14-inch business laptops available — the carbon fibre lid and magnesium alloy base pass 12 MIL-STD-810G military durability tests, so you get premium build quality without sacrificing portability.
- Dual Thunderbolt 3 Ports: Two USB-C Thunderbolt 3 ports support 40Gbps data, external GPUs, and up to two 4K displays simultaneously — exceptional expandability in an ultra-thin chassis.
- 256GB PCIe NVMe SSD with OPAL 2.0: Hardware-level encryption protects sensitive data while delivering fast boot times and instant application launches for professionals who cannot afford to wait.
- 14-Inch Full HD IPS Display: 1920×1080 anti-glare IPS panel with 300 nits brightness provides sharp, accurate visuals for document editing, presentations, and extended screen time in any lighting environment.
- Windows 11 Pro with TPM 2.0: Full Windows 11 Professional with BitLocker encryption, domain join, Remote Desktop, and Secure Boot — natively supported with the 8th Gen processor for current and future Microsoft updates.
How the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 6 Performs Day-to-Day
The X1 Carbon G6 excels in demanding professional environments where reliability and responsiveness are non-negotiable. The quad-core i5-8250U manages Microsoft 365, large Outlook mailboxes, Chrome or Edge with 20+ tabs, Teams or Zoom video calls, and background business applications simultaneously — the 8GB LPDDR3-2133 keeping everything fluid. The OPAL 2.0 SSD means Windows resumes from sleep instantly and applications load without delay.
For mobile professionals this ultrabook is exceptional. At 1.13kg it disappears into a bag, and the backlit ThinkPad keyboard with TrackPoint provides accurate, comfortable typing across long travel days and back-to-back meetings. The 720p webcam with privacy shutter handles video calls cleanly, and Intel UHD Graphics 620 drives a 4K external monitor via Thunderbolt 3 for full desktop productivity when you return to your desk.
The 57Wh rapid-charge battery typically delivers 6–8 hours of business workload on a Grade A unit, and the fingerprint reader with Windows Hello provides fast, secure login without typing a password. For enterprise environments, the TPM 2.0 chip and Kensington lock slot round out a genuinely comprehensive corporate security feature set.

I like and very nice clean
Very easy fit
Great upgrade phone at a very reasonable price.
Condition as stated in description if not better.
Great little laptop for school
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.
