Generally Thinkpads have a range of docking solutions available. For the T-series if you go with the advanced doc, it goes one better and has full support one full-height and half-length or low profile PCI Express Card - so you can really extend the graphics.
Although for the X series, the docking solution doesn't have an express card slot either, but who knows, maybe they have a new dock in the works as well.
I second this. I have almost the same thing except (1.6M ATI 32MB graphics) that I don't adjust anything when running on my extended life battery. I regularily can watch 2 DVD's on long flights without any problem. It's built like a rock, and very configurable.
It also has an excellent keyboard, but here's the gotcha - THEY PUT THE FUNCTION KEY IN THE LOWER LEFT HAND CORNER - which is exactly where the CTRL key is on every other fricken keyboard, now why would they do that?
