    Hey guys,

    I just assumed my M17xr2 had bluetooth but I'm pretty sure it doesn't as I can't find it listed anywhere in device manager or anyway to turn it on. Can I just buy a specific card and install it or do I have to use a USB dongle?

    Thanks.

    My R2 has bluetooth, I think all R2s have bluetooth. Did you check your specifications? Maybe its just not working.
