Hi,
In an upcoming notebook purchase, I have a choice for $50 to have integrated bluetooth. Is that worth it? I do plan to get a wireless mouse and keyboard supported by Bluetooth -- but are the USB versions of bluetooth support just as good?
And, should I spring the extra $45 to get the Draft-N wireless support, in addition to a/b/g?
Thanks.

Bluetooth is more convient than using a usb, not having to deal with the wires.
As for 11n, With the factory install you get all (3) antennas. 11abg uses only 2 antennas. With the 11n card you get the extra antenna.
My advise is get spend the extra money for bluetooth and 11n. If your not going to use 11n just set it up for 11g only. At least till the 11n spec is finalized some time next year. -
The 3 antenna jacks caught my eye here. It looks like Dell PCI Express Draft N only has two jacks while the Intel model has 3 jacks. Too bad it's not available on the regular mini-pci type wifi card!
