    You could always use a bluetooth USB adapter. They just released a new gaming notebook, and should have a new line of notebooks out before the end of the year. It is kind of hard to tell on the better deals. Supposedly Dell was going to stop issuing coupons, but they are still issuing them. They aren't as good as what Dell has been offering in the summer and spring, but 25% off is better than nothing.

    you can get integrated bluetooth on the 700m for an extra $30 or something , i asked sales. I have not checked the configurator lately, but I asked a very specific question. I'm sure its on the configurator somewhere, just look VERY carefully, lol, like most of the other stuff.

    Integrated bluetooth is not an option on the 700m, despite what the sales rep claimed. You can get a usb or pcmcia bluetooth adapter.

    I wouldnt be too shocked if sales was wrong....
    however... just for example...I was able to speak with a Lenovo rep who could setup some configurations that I was unable to make on the IBM website (seeing that on the site you cannot choose a greater than 20GB HD when configuring an X40, like WTF, lol)....

    so it could be possible that they can do one or two things that we cannot...
