    I was looking to pickup a 700m but there was no option to configure one with internal bluetooth. I don't understand why Dell would sell a travel laptop like the 700m without a bluetooth option.

    Which brings the question, which Dell laptops offer bluetooth?

    They offer Bluetooth for most of their larger models. You won't see Bluetooth in many small notebooks because it competes with the space needed for the WiFi antenna.

    However you can always buy an USB Bluetooth adapter.

    Inspiron 8600 * WUXGA * Intel Pentium M (Dothan) 725 (1.6 GHz) * 1024 MB of DDR333 * Mobility Radeon 9600 Pro Turbo with 128 MB @ 350/250 * 60 GB HD 5400RPM * CDRW/DVD Combo Drive
