W510 docking station

[structengineer]

I own a w500 laptop and (2) advanced docks. I want to buy a w510 laptop and use the same dock for both laptops. I know the w500 has a 90w ps and the w510 has a 135w ps. Can I either use my advanced docks with a 135w ps or buy a mini dock plus series 3 and use a 90w ps? I would then swap the power supply based on which laptop I use on the dock.

You can not use the same dock for the W500 & W510 per the Lenovo site.

ThinkPad Advanced Mini Dock (250410U) is used for the W500 per below:

ThinkPad Mini Dock Series 3 (33710U) is used for the W510 per below:
