The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 6 motherboard (FRU 01YR208) features a quad-core Intel Core i5-8250U processor with 8GB soldered LPDDR3 RAM, backed by a 3-month warranty from Reboot IT — Melbourne's trusted refurbished IT specialists since 2001.
The Intel Core i5-8250U marked a significant jump in mobile performance when Lenovo built it into the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 6. Four cores and eight threads allow this board to sustain smooth performance across concurrent business workloads — Teams video calls running alongside Excel, Outlook, and multiple Chrome tabs show no meaningful slowdown during typical office use. The processor scales from its 1.6 GHz base to 3.4 GHz under load, then steps back efficiently during lighter tasks, keeping the X1 Carbon's thermal envelope in check.
For IT departments managing a fleet of ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 6 laptops, this OEM FRU board provides the most reliable repair path. Rather than retiring a chassis with a failed motherboard — particularly for machines with premium screens, LTE cards, or docking station ports still intact — a direct board replacement returns the laptop to full service. The Thunderbolt 3 port retains compatibility with existing Lenovo docking stations, 4K displays, and high-speed storage peripherals central to enterprise workflows.
The 8GB LPDDR3 RAM is soldered and non-upgradeable, which is worth confirming against your workload requirements before purchase. Intel UHD 620 graphics handle dual 1080p external displays and hardware-accelerated video decoding, covering most professional use cases. For workloads requiring more than 8GB RAM or dedicated GPU performance, an alternative configuration may be more appropriate — but for standard business productivity, this board delivers reliable, well-documented performance.

| Grade | Description |
|---|---|
| A — Excellent | Fully tested and operational. All processor, memory, port, and integrated component functions verified through sustained stress testing. Board is clean with minimal cosmetic wear consistent with careful prior use. |
| B — Good | Fully tested and operational. All core functions verified. Board may show visible cosmetic marks or light wear on non-critical areas that do not affect performance or reliability. |
Does this board fit other ThinkPad X1 Carbon generations?
No. FRU 01YR208 is specific to the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 6 (machine types 20KH and 20KG). Connector positions and chassis cutouts differ between generations. Always verify your machine type before purchasing — it is printed on the base cover label.
Can the 8GB RAM be upgraded?
No. The LPDDR3-2133 RAM is soldered directly to the board and cannot be replaced or expanded. This is a design choice in the X1 Carbon's slim ultrabook chassis. If your workloads require more than 8GB, this board is not suitable.
Does an SSD come with the motherboard?
No. The M.2 2280 NVMe slot is empty. You will need to supply your own PCIe NVMe SSD. The X1 Carbon Gen 6 supports M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe drives — common options include 256GB and 512GB drives from major brands.
Will this board support Windows 11?
Yes. The i5-8250U meets Windows 11 hardware requirements. The ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 6 includes TPM 2.0 and UEFI Secure Boot, both required for Windows 11. Lenovo provides official Windows 11 drivers for this model.
How is the board tested before dispatch?
Every board undergoes Reboot IT's 40+ point inspection: processor performance at base and turbo frequencies, memory controller validation, all port functionality (Thunderbolt 3, USB, HDMI, audio), and a sustained 4-hour stress test under load before being cleared for dispatch.
Does Thunderbolt 3 work with Lenovo docking stations?
Yes. The Thunderbolt 3 port on this board is compatible with Lenovo ThinkPad Thunderbolt 3 docks (e.g. 40AC, 40AN), enabling multiple display outputs, USB hub functionality, and wired Ethernet through a single cable connection — a key advantage for desk-based enterprise use.
This motherboard is sold by Reboot IT with a 3-month warranty covering all manufacturing and component defects. Every board is tested and verified before dispatch — if a fault arises within 3 months of purchase, we will repair or replace it at no cost to you.
Reboot IT has been Melbourne's trusted source for certified refurbished IT equipment since 2001. Our experienced technical team and rigorous 40+ point inspection process ensure every component meets strict quality and reliability standards.

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.
