da anscheinend keiner ne ahnung hat, hier ne antwort (aus nen anderen forum):
Well, um, I had that idea, and I've posted it elsewhere. Maybe other people have posted it too. FYI, I took my X41T down to CDW and they let me play with their X4 UltraBase. I found that the UB mates to the X40 laptop in 3 ways:
1) the UB has a "lip" around the outside which fits flush with the beveled bottom of the X40
2) some "hooks" on the front of the UB which hook into the lower front of the X40
3) the UB connector on the very bottom of the X40
Here's how this affects an attempt to use the X41T with the UB:
1) the X41T is wider, and deeper, than the X40 laptop. So the "lip" on the UB prevents a flush fit, and prevents the connector from fitting.
2) there are no sockets on the front of the X41T for the "hooks" to fit. Even if there were, the X41T is too deep.
3) the connector on the X41T DOES seem to mate with the connector and latches on the UB.
CONCLUSIONS:
1) If the "lip" of the UB was removed (cut away) on the left, right, and front sides, then the X41T can be made to made with the UB connector. This could provide UB connectivity, but this has not been tested.
2) Even if this mod were done, you have a large X41T sitting on a smaller UB, with no secure latching system. It could be used on a tabletop, and carefully, but using it on a lap would be dicey. Expect intermittent disconnects, or at worst, damage to the UB port on your X41T.
3) You wouldn't want to pay much for a UB that you're going to carve up like this.

Zu spät gesehen, sonst hätte ich früher geantwortet.
In der Tat passt das X41T auf ne X4 ultrabase. Hatte mich mal vertan in der Bucht und mir ein ebensolches gekauft für mein tablett. Irgendwelche Sachen abschneiden mußte ich nicht. Das X41 sollte nur recht nachdrücklich auf die Station gedrückt werden, damit die Klemmung greift. ANsonsten geht es, steht halt nur etwas über.
