I have used a Targus USB Bluetooth adapter in my laptop to print to my HP C6180 for years. Flawless!

It's doe NOT have builtin Bluetooth. (But it is compatible in the sense that you can install your own Bluetooth adapter)

I report to you that the LENOVO laptop 17.3 inch that buy does not have bluetooth.

I don't think bluetooth technology comes as a standard feature on this laptop. I does have built in WI-FI which works well. However, I bought my laptop about a year ago so things might have changed more recently with respect to bluetooth.

No bluetooth and the amount of ram supported varies by processor. It has four ram slots, if that's what you meant.

Mine are I have 2 of them. Both are Bluetooth capable as well. It depends however on how they were refurbished. The Amozon descriptions of specs should tell you this. I got mine thru Tampa Laptops and they are great.

As far as I know, it is not built in, or I haven't tried to find it. Go to your menu at the bottom left of the screen, or the right side for Windows 8. Type bluetooth in the box, and it says Add Bluetoth device.

Hi, When I look for bluetooth radios in the device manager it is not there so technically I guess it doesn't have bluetooth, but let me ask you why do you need it? The reason I am asking is, I have connected a wireless mouse and keyboard via a USB port and they work just fine. The only other reason I can think of that you might want bluetooth is to transfer files, but there is a multitude of other ways to do that. The most important question is how did I only pay $619 for the exact same computer on Amazon. I bought when Amazon had them in stock just 4 weeks ago and it was sold and fulfilled by Amazon. Now there are only other vendors. This laptop is incredible and I wouldn't let bluetooth stop me because technically, I think you can do everything you need without it. Again, I am doing a bluetooth keyboard and mouse with it just fine from 20 feet away. Keep checking the price and when it goes back to $619 - buy it.

Yes. I just checked under programs and there seems to be a bluetooth option. However, i myself have never actually connected anything to my laptop like this.

Sorry to say but this laptop does not have any bluetooth.There are some options to connect to external devices through some wifi etc.But BLUETOOTH not present means a big problem.Otherwise the laptop is good and boots up really quick using WIndows 8

Thank you so much for your instructions and post on the msdn forums that linked back here. Why MSFT doesn't include native A2DP support in Windows 7 or any previous version of their OS is beyond me. Bluetooth is not really a 'new' technology anymore! Thanks again, TJ!-sent from a software engineer happily listening to Pandora via my HBS700 headset on my Lenovo T420

Apparently not - believed that a new ultrabook/Win8 would recognize it as a Bluetooth device, but it does not. The receiver had to be inserted before operational and will always require a USB port. Bluetooth should be removed from the title.

No built-in Bluetooth. I bought a Bluetooth dongle for $8 and that works well.

This version has no bluetooth,you must buy bluetooth USB micro adaptor. This model has come with a built-in bluetooth; Samsung Series 5 NP550P5C-S02US 15.6-Inch Laptop (Silver)

Bluetooth only. If your computer doesn't have Bluetooth, then you will need to buy a USB-to Bluetooth adapter.

Hi ! Because I don't use Bluetooth in the computer I have even noticed but what I can tell you is that it comes with windows 8 without touch screen which is ridiculous !

My Bluetooth doesn't connect with my laptop. It connects only with my smartphone and sometimes it disconnects suddenly which is very frustrating.
