    I watch a lot of movies on my laptop (NP2092). It has an IR port but no remote.I thought i should try a universal remote but perhaps a BT would do a better job. Does any body actually has some experience with either of these?
    Thanks in advance.

    I use my cellphone as a BT remote.
    But for your laptop IR would be better since for BT you have to leave it on and it takes up more battery life.
