But there's the following ominous NOTE highlighted on the same page.

"Note: This is a passive adapter. While DisplayPort connectors are capable of passing a DVI signal, DisplayPort and DVI signals are basically different and not compatible with each other. This adapter does not actively convert a DisplayPort signal into a DVI signal. In order for this adapter to function properly, you must have a DisplayPort source device capable of producing and passing out a DVI signal through the DisplayPort jack."

So what's the "smart shop" in this case?

Thinkpads whose display port can pass a dvi signal are listed here:
