    I would assume so, since they are using the same chassis and motherboard. I think it would be odd if the bluetooth were restricted to the Z70VA only.

    When Justin drops by, let's hear what he has to say...he's really knowledgable! ;)

    Here are a bunch of USB adapters from Newegg. The Linksys is the one I would recommend - I haven't seen any issues with those. As a second choice, I'd say the D-Link, they're a good brand. ;)

    Chaz :cool:

    What? I guess thats a typo. I am talking about the z70va sorry. z70v will take the internal module there is a socket for it. We are still waiting for the modules though because unline the va the v will not be out with bt internal any time soon :)
