    I love this notebook for travel and I'd like to upgrade the bluetooth to 4.0 is the module out for sale? And where is it, is it underneath the touchpad / palmrest for easy replacement or is it inside the lcd bezel?

    Thanks

    not sure about a upgrade to BT 4.0, but the T420's bt module is located on the motherboard near the touchpad area. Just take off the palmrest and kb bezel to access it.
