Thinkpad X6 Ultrabase Reviews
You can buy a special lenovo cd drive but it is pricey and separate. (b) Does not come with its own power supply; use your original laptop AC supply, or get a spare. I blew it and I think I had even read a comment on this. Had to return.
You probably will use it a few times a year anyway unless you rip a lot of cd's. It's fine, it's a flat, basically no-moving-parts dock with a range of ports on the back including ethernet, video, several usb, etc. Seriously consider if you want to get a good external cd/dvd drive which you can use for years with other equipment, even though it won't fit internally within this particular dock. (c) Does not come with a CD drive, although some pictures show a CD drive half-out to tempt you.
(a) Be sure you buy the "tablet" or "regular" versions for your x60 or x61, the docks are NOT the same. A particularly vague use of the word "ultra" in marketing.
For the tablet models you need the "X6 Ultrabase Tablet". NOT. You can get a CDRW-DVDR combo, or a full DVD-RW burner, but they are optional (and may cost more than the docking station itself). And finally, while this device ("X6 Ultrabase") fits the X60 and X61 Thinkpads, it does NOT FIT the X60 and X61 Thinkpad Tablets. As another reviewer stated, this base does NOT include any kind of optical drive. (too thick, 12mm vs. Hopefully this will help someone else avoid the mistakes I made.
This product works fine. The standard non-slim Ultrabay drives do not fit. How very obvious. 9.5mm for the slim). Of course. However, caution is in order due to Lenovo's use of confusingly similar naming. Also, the ONLY drives that fit are the Lenovo Ultrabay Slim drives, please note the "SLIM", this is VERY important.
More details here:. I thought it comes with a cd drive like in the photo. http://anonymac.com/2007/08/27/misleading/
