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.
