I'm sorry but that is not the case with the x60 according to securedoc's
tech support.
I tested it personally myself. The x60 is not a supported model. The x41
was presumably,
considering that it was in the list of supported tablets. I tried
the x41 configuration and it did not work without the physical keyboard.
I asked
tech support and this is what they said.
