    I recently bought an m11x and through my order it did not have the internal bluetooth card option. A few days later they added the option to future orders on their website and I was wondering if it was worth it to cancel my order and replace my order with the bluetooth card?

    Also, I need the laptop as soon as possible and am willing to spend the cost on the bluetooth card to install it myself internally in the future. Do you guys know where I can buy the bluetooth card?

    I don't think bluetooth is a necessity for me at the moment because I don't have any bluetooth devices I can connect to it, and the m11x won't be able to turn it off individually(turns off both wifi and bluetooth at same time). It also uses up battery which I would rather save...



    Basically, what is the name of the Bluetooth Card for the m11x?
    Where can I purchase this card in the future?

    Thank you!

    With everything you've stated, the BT card is a non-essential extra to you right now, with no immediate benefit in the foreseeable future.

    Considering that these cards are only in the $20 - $40 range, I would forget about cancelling your order and enjoy your new notebook as ordered.

    Something to think about though: even though you can just add the card at anytime - will the necessary antenna be pre-installed in your current order?

    Good luck.
