    I just bought a m17x-r3. im just wondering if ALL m17x-r3's come with bluetooth. i did not see it is an option when i built it so i assumed bluetooth came standard.

    Check device manager. Just type it (device manager) in the start menu. Should see it there I think.

    I figured "Do I have Bluetooth" implied you asking if you had Bluetooth. My bad :confused: should have read closer

    I have the Intel 6300 wifi card which does not have BT on board, yet the r3 does have Bluetooth so it must be a separate module.

    Cheers,
