    I am looking to get a x200t and will buy an ultrabase to hook it up to my external monitor.
    I was just wondering if its possible to have the x200t display turned off and still use the digitizer as just a regular drawing pad turned around in tablet mode in the ultrabase.

    This was a curious question... so I tried it, and it does work. Not quite as nice as using a conventional tablet, but it seems to get the job done. I think it should work with any tablet PC, too.
