My laptop does not have bluetooth. If I want to take advantage of the bluetooth feature do I need to buy a bluetooth dongle or does it come with one?

It does not come with anything extra. Just the speakers that are Bluetooth ready.

I believe it does. Although I can not see it spelled out in any of the products info pages it does say this: VAIO PCs seamlessly integrate ports so you don't have to carry a dongle. So, if you do not need a dongle I assume it is bluetooth capable.thank youDeal$byDave

The unit comes with a USB/bluetooth dongle. Plug in the dongle and the unit will communicate via bluetooth to the dongle to the computer via USB.

Virtually all laptops have Bluetooth, yet the adapter allows the mouse to work. The adapter is very small and I never need to remove it. It does take a USB slot, however. So, yes, as far as I know you need it.

Unfortunately, no- it's not Bluetooth compatible. It only works with the included dongle.

Yes, you plug in the little bluetooth adapter (I did not know it was called a dongle) into your usb port and switch it to bluetooth to go wireless. It also has a cord that connects the headset to a usb port for audio/microphone connection and for charging the headset. The left ear part of the headset (opposite of the microphone) has a compartment that stores the bluetooth dongle. I found that to be usefull since I can easily keep it all together as I travel

Most likely you will need a Bluetooth transmitter USB dongle like the UD2 since most Windows 7 computers are not Bluetooth-enabled.

This is a bluetooth device, and it comes with a USB dongle however technically that dongle is for 2.4 GHz RF only. For example, if your computer already has bluetooth you do not need to use the dongle. Practically this doesn't make much of a difference in performance with the headset, however it means you cannot use the included dongle to connect other bluetooth devices to your computer.

The device itself doesn't require any drivers for the Bluetooth, but currently the only drivers for the Wifi part are for Windows 7 and 8/8.1. And if you get this for Windows don't install the Intel Bluetooth setup software they have. It will crash your networks.

Bluetooth and Wi-FI and yes it does come with the Bluetooth Dongle. Works very well.

This does not come with a bluetooth transmitter. If your computer doesn't have it built in, you'd have to get a bluetooth dongle for your computer. You can find them for extremely cheap now. You can get a USB one for less than $5.

It does not have bluetooth, but an inexpensive USB bluetooth dongle works fine.

Dongles are for USB accessories. This is Bluetooth. If your device has built-in Bluetooth it will connect directly.Having said that, if your device does NOT have built-in BT you can buy a Bluetooth adapter dongle and still use it, but if you're going the route why not just buy a wireless USB keyboard? (I returned this and bought one and it works WAY better).

The laptop I purchased did come with Bluetooth, but Dell has several options on wireless cards that can be installed. Pay close attention to the particular wireless options installed.
