    Hi All -

    Does anybody know yet if the Z70va bluetooth module will be upgradeable? And by upgradable, I mean can the owner upgrade it himself or does the system need to be sent in? If it's not, then I see no point in even having bluetooth built in with the advent of 2.0 coming out. You would have built in bluetooth 1.2 but using a dongle to use 2.0 (faster and more effeicient). Or am I completly off, and the va comes with 2.0?

    It'll take you an hour or so..... and that's if you've already got a lot of experience with taking this notebook apart and taking the motherboard out.

    I'm not aware that the VA is coming with anything but 1.2 at this time, but the modules could have changed.
