    hi! i'm just a newbie here so pardon me for asking..

    i just got an aspire 6930,2nd hand though and im confused as to whether it is 6930 or 6930g.. the sticker at the back says its 6930 but at the boot up menu when i checked it says 6930g..confused.. well that's not really my question, my prob is that can i install a bluetooth module on this machine since it has none though it has bluetooth button?

    thanks!

    Yes- you can install BT on it- it's a Broadcom one BRCM2045 with a 5 wire cable like this one.
    As for it being 6930 or 6930G- G stands for dedicated GPU in this case an nVidia 9600M GT- easy enough to check it in device manager.

    Don't mind that- it Centrino as in general technology not the actual CPU.
