MacOS on Thinkpad X1 Carbon 6th Generation

What doesn't work:

MicroSD Card Reader [DISABLED at BIOS Level] - not needed
Fingerprint Reader [DISABLED at BIOS Level] - not needed
Wireless WAN [DISABLED at BIOS Level] - not needed
TrackPoint nub is unstable [DISABLED at BIOS Level] - tluck's fork of VoodooPS2Controller may fix this problem, but I have yet to try it.
Hand-off is unstable - not needed

Underlying minor issues that needs to be examined in the future:

USB Power Property Injection - unsure of real values Battery life optimization - currently average 4-6 hours of regular usage
With the exeption of volume and brightness, function keys do not properly work - DSDT patches and testing in progress
Keymapping is not perfect, need to do a complete ADB map Performance optimization - proper SMBIOS with the 2018 Macbook Pro

Hardware Replacements:

WiFi and Bluetooth:

Replace factory Intel wifi module with a MacOS compatible one. Make sure that the card is of M.2 form factor. I replaced it with a Broadcom BCM94352Z.

M.2 Hard Drive Replacements:

Replace factory Samsung PM981 with preferably a SATA M.2 SSD, as it is more power efficient and plays nicer with APFS than an NVMe M.2 SSD.
