    hi this is my first thinkpad ive got its a second hand one specs at a glance are

    i5 3320m
    1600x900 display
    180gb intel ssd
    4gb ram
    standard keyboard
    no finger print
    no WAN
    wifi centrino advanced 6205

    i was a bit suprised to find out that it lacked bluetooth and while combing through forums i understood theres an additional cost for that

    iS it at all possible for me to get the part down seperately and fix it my self or are there too much parts involved and im better off getting a usb bluetooth device (i really would prefer it being internal though)

    all advice is greatly appreciated thanks!

    I believe the Bluetooth sits under the palm rest if you want to add it. Consult the HMM to see where it's located. You can buy a USB Bluetooth dongle for less than $5 on eBay if you don't mind losing the port.
