    Is it possible to configure the N5901 Mini Wireless Keyboard to use the built-in Bluetooth port on a T420? Or does it require using the small wireless dongle that comes with it?

    that keyboard doesn't use the bluetooth protocol. So you have to use the wireless dongle.

    Dang, I was hoping to avoid having to waste a USB port on it. Oh well, thanks for the clarification.
