battery for X61t? (also, x61t vs x200t?)

[marlinspike]

There's a guy I know selling an X61 tablet that I'm thinking about buying, but the battery is toast. It looks like a new battery for these things is $$$, but you can buy refurb batteries from Lenovo for cheap. The only thing is, the refurb batteries just say they're for the X60. Will these work?

What are the differences with the x200t that actually matter? I'm trying to figure out if I should hold out. He's selling it with the dock - would this work with a future tablet, or are they model specific?

I also want to ask if the price he's asking is fair, but I'm guessing that's frowned upon.

The X60t battery fits an X61t. The dock for an X61t will not work with an X200. (X6 Ultrabase vs. X200 Ultrabase). We'll help you with pricing as long as it is not in a for sale Ad in the Marketplace forum.

It's def not a for sale ad, as he's local, and has been trying to sell it fast, and I want it...so no sharing of where to buy will come from me lol. Thanks for the links. Somehow I stink at google. So the X60t battery fits an x61t, nice.

He's asking $600 for an X61t with the ultra base dock w/DVD drive, 1.6ghz cpu, 2gb of ram, multiview/multitouch screen. Good price?

IMHO it's a good price if the machine is in excellent condition and particularly if it has some warranty left.
