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 X1 Carbon 6th Gen — Certified Refurbished Ultra-Light Business Laptop

The ThinkPad X1 Carbon 6th Gen packs an Intel Core i5-8250U 8th Gen processor, 8GB LPDDR3 RAM, 256GB SSD, and a 14-inch FHD IPS touchscreen into a 1.13kg carbon fibre chassis — backed by a 12-month warranty from Reboot IT.

Why the ThinkPad X1 Carbon 6th Gen Is the Ultimate Business Ultrabook

  • Intel Core i5-8250U 8th Gen Performance: Quad-core processor with 1.6GHz base and 3.4GHz Turbo Boost — handles Office 365, Teams, Zoom, browser-heavy workflows, and multitasking without lag.
  • Ultra-Light at 1.13kg: Carbon fibre and magnesium alloy chassis makes this one of the lightest 14-inch business laptops available. Commuting, travel, and hot-desking made effortless.
  • 14" FHD IPS Touchscreen: 1920×1080 IPS panel with touch input and wide viewing angles — ideal for presentations, annotating documents, and intuitive on-screen navigation.
  • Fast 256GB NVMe SSD: Sub-15-second boot times, instant app launches, and smooth performance throughout the day. OPAL 2.0 hardware encryption built in.
  • Thunderbolt 3 Connectivity: Two Thunderbolt 3 ports support 40Gbps data transfer, 4K external displays, and fast charging — future-proof connectivity for modern peripherals and docks.
  • Windows 11 Pro with Genuine Licence: Full Windows 11 Professional included — BitLocker, Remote Desktop, and enterprise domain join support for business and IT-managed environments.

How the ThinkPad X1 Carbon 6th Gen Performs Day-to-Day

In day-to-day business use, the X1 Carbon 6th Gen handles Microsoft 365, Outlook with large mailboxes, Chrome or Edge with 15+ tabs, Teams or Zoom video calls, and PDF workflows simultaneously. The 8GB LPDDR3 provides solid multitasking headroom for accounting tools like Xero and MYOB (browser), CRM platforms, document management, and remote desktop sessions.

For mobile professionals, the combination of 8th Gen performance, NVMe SSD speed, and sub-1.2kg weight means no compromises on power or portability. The touchscreen is particularly useful for annotating PDFs, navigating presentations in meeting rooms, and quick scrolling on the go. The IR camera enables Windows Hello facial recognition for instant, password-free login.

The ThinkPad keyboard — widely regarded as the best in the laptop industry — delivers a confident, accurate typing experience for long writing sessions. The TrackPoint pointing stick and precision trackpad give you full cursor control without lifting your hands from the keys.
