    Hi all in the process of getting a notebook. Leaning really hard towards a Asus most likely w3j or s96j. S96j looks like the winner so far but had some questions first.

    The w3j has bluetooth intergrated and usually when its like this there is a bluetooth light and switch. since s96j does not come with it but geared2play offers it as an addon i was wondering if there would be a bluetooth switch and light to indicate it is on or off. Anyone know if it does or its all controlled in software.

    Thanks

    IM not sure about that model, But ive noticed even all the asus models that dont come with blue tooth have the light and switch. I think its prob because different countries get different configurations, So some may come with bluetooth and some without.

    The A8Jm has a bluetooth LED and switch, but I'm not sure about the S96J..

    SRD is right.

    Like when the Z70v came out, as well as the Z63a it had the BT light and switch, but no BT option.
