    Ok so I just purchased a Dell XPS 15. First thing I notice is there's no bluetooth. I Have an Inspiron 15R N5110 that does so I'm wanting to swap the BT from that over to the XPS. Good idea? Also I put an Intel 120 GB SSD 320 series in it and when i was using the Acronis Image cloning software I had no graphics during the clone. Came out working right but I'm starting to notice the little annoying glitches of this system... Anyone, Have some time to offer some good tips for tweaking this into a speed machine with as little problems as possible? I'm green but catch on fast. Please someone help

    You didn't say what wireless card you have.

    It appears to not have bluetooth, I think you can swap the wireless cards, give it a try.
