I think that if you really want to fill that table out some more, you're going to have to be a little bit less picky when deciding which models are considered analogous. It would make more sense to determine analogs by their role than by exact system specifications.

Going off of that, you could say that the X32 is indeed the equivalent of the D410, as they are both high-performance 12" ultraportables with no optical drives, despite the fact that they use different chipsets.

But if you choose to keep going along the lines that you have now, I have a couple of suggestions. The X41 is very similar to the D410 and the X1 (if you ignore the widescreen - you'd pretty much have to in most cases with ThinkPads), and some R-series models have a lot in common with the D510 (15" models) and the Latitude 110L (again, 15" models). Also, the T42p and T43p models share similar specifications and roles as the Precision m20.
