    Hello people,

    I decided not to go for this upgrade when purchasing my M17x..

    If in the future if I require this is it simply a dongle or would I have to open up the laptop to install it? :eek:

    Thanks

    You can buy a USB Bluetooth device. I did for my old Toshiba, and it worked quite well. I used it to print from my dad's printer which was also bluetooth enabled.

    But if you want the same bluetooth as standard with M17x, you will probably have to open up the machine to install it.
