yes you can. i have the thinkpad x24 with also the 16V adapter. like you, i wasnt sure if it would work.. but i put my P1900 on the 18V setting and it works like a champ. been using it for over a year with no problems.

thinkpads are tanks

only problem i still have is trying to figure out how to get to the power switch for the remote power on thru the carnetix. that switch on the thinkpad is near impossible to hack into
