Hi there,
I have a tiny business that sell used mobile phones. Normally, we don't have deals for Ozbargain members because our volume is too low. But I've managed to secured some brand new X1 Carbon Gen 6.

The specs are:
iu-8350u
8GB RAM
256GB SSD
WQHD screen
LTE 4G built in

To build the same configuration on Lenovo's website, it will cost you $2834. This is Australian stocks with 3 yrs return to base warranty back by Lenovo Australia.

You can pay via PayPal or bank transfer on our website. But because we are a small business, PayPal want 2.6% fees. I think this money is wasted so I'm offering free shipping to anyone who pays via bank transfer. You can come to my little shop near Darling Harbour to buy it in person.

Price is inclusive of GST, get yours today in time for the tax season write off. :)

Edit: Price drop to beat the sleuth member who found it at $1799.

        Doesn't sound like the 2019 model will be all that different

        • pjm on 11/04/2019 - 11:03

          To each his own, as long as you are happy…

          I know I'd be disappointed if I bought the Gen 6, and a month later the Gen 7 was available, its thinner and with a more modern/efficient/secure CPU and longer battery life for a start.

    Hi OP,

    Not sure if you are also selling on ebay, or Lenovo is offloading this model.

    https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Lenovo-X1-Carbon-G6-20KHS1BP00-1…

    $1849 delivered + paypal fee inclusive with PEACE code. Works out slightly better for those paying with PP.

        Particularly Lenovo.

        • eug on 10/04/2019 - 16:27

          Or Toshiba. At least ThinkPads have a solid reputation behind them.

    • C0mbat on 10/04/2019 - 17:47

      I've had the Dell XPS 13, the Lenovo Yoga 920 and the HP Spectre X360, all of which would be considered the best looking ultra books on the market and I can safely say that the X1 Carbon is by far and a way a better laptop than all of them. While it might not look as good the carbon shell makes is so easy to carry around and it's way lighter.

      I've learnt my lesson that form is far more important that style.

      ^this. I've had my surface pro2 8gb/256ssd for 5.5 years now and it's held up well. But I feel like 16gb should be minimum if you want to future proof and use the laptop for at least the next 5years. But this is a good machine.

  • drfuzzy on 10/04/2019 - 15:42

    Really want one of these with 16gb of RAM. I don't think these are upgradeable. Do you have any stock of 16gb models or any advice?

      I've looked into upgrading them, unfortunately the RAM are soldered in so you can't upgrade them.

    • [Deactivated] on 10/04/2019 - 18:11

      go for the T480s and you can upgrade one of the ram slots.

      You are very quick. I was going to post about the same thing.

      The model on that one is different. It is FHD (1920 x 1080) resolution vs WQHD resolution and no LTE.

      If that is a deal breaker than OP's deal is better. I just checked Landmark Computers website and they have got some good pricing on X1 Carbon.

    • Associatedzoombie @ zoombie.com.au on 10/04/2019 - 16:14
      +2

      Nope. This has a better CPU, WQHD screen and LTE built in.

      • powerful9990 on 10/04/2019 - 16:18

        Yes in theoretical terms only, in practical terms it's outshines i5 8250u by 2%. Why not yourself check out this practical review from notebook check Link

          What about the WQHD screen and LTE connectivity?

            @eug: That would be to someones personal taste and if it is, I already said OP's deal is good.

              @powerful9990: Haha. If im to buy, would like a slightly lower spec i5, more ram, no lte and full HD will do.

              • powerful9990 on 10/04/2019 - 16:38

                @[Deactivated]: The new lenovo X1 Carbon G6 have their ram soldered on the motherboard. If you want more ram then you have to factory configure and get it built by Lenovo similar to Apple's.

    • eug on 10/04/2019 - 20:03

      It's like a phone or tablet. Just insert a SIM card and it'll use your data plan. You can connect/disconnect to the network like a wifi network.

    • daft009 on 10/04/2019 - 20:43

      I have the same machine with LTE, slightly better specs though.

      Love that it has a full size HDMI and LTE. Both awesome features for meetings and presenting at a customer site.

      I take notes on the big screen and send to everyone then and there over LTE

      Xps etc don't compare with their lack of ports and LTE for business use

      • cwongtech on 11/04/2019 - 00:23

        Need to compare latitude 7000 series against ThinkPad X1.
        Latitude has HDMI and LTE configuration options, that's Dell's business offering. The xps is a premium consumer laptop thus don't have as much ports or LTE.

    • eug on 11/04/2019 - 11:06

      Hmm, wouldn't the return to depot warranty be faster in terms of turnaround time?

      • powerful9990 on 11/04/2019 - 11:09

        No Eug it won't be. Onsite warranties are better from companies like Lenovo, HP and Dell as the technician comes to your place with the parts and fix them onsite.

        For return to depot warranty you have to send your machine to the repair facility.

        • eug on 11/04/2019 - 11:11

          Oh sorry for some reason I misread your post and thought the warranty was with lmc. Onsite is definitely better.
