Does anyone know if any of the X6x series machines will work with the Advanced Microdock for the T60? I have a T60 and an advanced microdock at each of my desks. I'd like to get an X60s or similar and use it in the same docks, without having to move all of my cables between the T60 and X60 or their docks. Is this possible?

If not, does the X60s have any docking option that gives DVI and that is compatible with the T60? I'd like to be able to switch between the larger and smaller systems without modifying any of my connections at my desks, just drop in whichever computer I happen to have with me at the time and get to work.

No can do, unfortunately. The only docking solution for X60 series is the UltraBase, which does not have a DVI port, and is not compatible with the T60/Z60 series.

The only other machines compatible with the Advanced Mini Dock are the Z60 series. (The Z60t/Z61t are rather small, and could be made lighter with a travel bezel... but nearly all of them don't support DVI output. Only one or two models as shown in the tabook support DVI out from a dock.)

That sucks. I want a SMALL machine that can do DVI and share a desktop with my T series. I used to have that with a T42p and an X22 which despite their age and generation differences, could both use the same port replicator. Why would Lenovo not allow that interoperability today?

Not interested in the Z series, as even the smallest and lightest Z isn't enough smaller or lighter than my 14" T60 to bother. The T60 can also take a travel bezel, but it remains large.
