Business ultraportable with integrated LTE

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 6 is a 14 inch laptop built around an Intel Core i7-8550U processor, 8 GB of LPDDR3 memory and a 500 GB NVMe SSD. It ships with Windows 11 Pro and adds a fingerprint reader, 720p webcam and 4G LTE WWAN for mobile connectivity. Carbon-fibre construction meets 12 military-grade tests and over 200 quality checks.

Suits mobile professionals needing always-on data

Workers who travel light and rely on cellular data rather than Wi-Fi will value the built-in LTE and sub-2.9 lb chassis. Thunderbolt 3 over USB-C handles docking, charging and external displays. Buyers who want a touchscreen, more than 8 GB of soldered memory or a larger display should look elsewhere.

Soldered 8 GB LPDDR3 memory cannot be upgraded

The 8 GB of LPDDR3 is fixed to the motherboard, so the amount of RAM you receive is the maximum this laptop will ever provide. If your applications need more memory, this configuration will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

What are the dimensions and weight of the 14.0" laptop for bag fit?

The 14.0" chassis weighs between 2 and 2.9 lbs. Its carbon-fibre and magnesium construction meets 12 military-grade tests for durability in a slim profile.

How do I activate Windows 11 Pro on the Intel Core i7-8550U system, and what step is often missed?

Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed. Connect to the internet during first boot to complete automatic licence activation; skipping this leaves the OS unactivated.

When will the 500GB NVMe SSD or 8GB LPDDR3 memory need replacement?

The 500GB NVMe SSD is user-replaceable via the M.2 slot. The 8GB LPDDR3 memory is soldered and cannot be upgraded or replaced separately.
