    As you know, Lenovo has so many part #'s for the same item that I find it impossible to figure out.

    I have an x61s and would like to know if this docking station, 42W3107, will work on my machine?

    Can somebody tell me if Part # 42W3107 = Part # 40Y8116 (which I know is correct)?

    I don't have the tablet.

    Thanks in advance for helping with my first post......

    X61s and X61 tablet use completely different docks. You need the exact part number of the dock for X61s. Don't buy any other dock with a different part number.

    The reason that I am asking if the parts are identical is because I found an auction on ebay for a docking station. The seller isn't sure which model will work on it.

    If you look closely at the ebay auction, you will see that the photo is nearly identical to the link below from lenovo's website.

    I think that I can buy it very inexpensively because it is listed with an unknown or unfamiliar part #.

    So, now you know why I am asking....[/url]

    if the numbers differs for ANY product they are surely not the same product
