    Topic says it all. Is it possible? Will I have to sacrifice the modem to make way for a BT unit?

    You should look up on Lenovo's website to see if you have the antenna. If you do you can swap the card out with the bluetooth one. If not you have to put the antenna in as well. Putting it in requires taking off the casing around the screen. There is potential to damage your screen. As another option there ure usb bluetooth options.

    I can't seem to find any info on the antenna on Lenovo's site. I enter the product number (2884-XX2) and check the Product Information where BT isn't mentioned. Where should I look to verify that (or if) I have the antenna?
