    i bought an m14x laption a year or so ago, but i cheaped out, and saved $20 by not getting bluetooth.... now i wish i did... is there any way i can buy, and install a chip?
    surly they just plug in a chip, and not build a new motherboard to support bluetooth... after all they are after efficient customization...

    i would also like to note that i do not desire using a USB bluetooth thingy.

    I too sort of wish i'd fitted BT to my M14x. However there are guides in the M14x forum on how to fit the chip. I think its a fair bit of work tho, so i'm just using a USB cable for my phone. And good old fast USB for my mouse! (heard a few things about the razer BT mice having some issues on built in BT).
