    Hi All,

    I just wondered if I buy a dock for the T61 and link up to a 22” Widescreen (1680x1050 Resolution) for desktop use, will this run it ok?

    Also which is the best dock to use for T61, I only want small one with a couple of usb's and the dvi out.

    Many Thanks

    Go for the advanced mini dock. Sells new in the 200 range. I picked a used one up off ebay. It is basically *the* only dock you can get that has DVI that is designed to work with the video card built inside the laptop.

    Yes, even the X3100 integrated option would do that.
