I'm going to be buying a Toshiba Satellite S55-A5359 Windows 7 15.6-Inch Laptop (Ice Silver in Brushed Aluminum). Do I need the Toshiba Bluetooth V2.1+EDR USB Nano Adapter to hook up wireless printer and other stuff? Thanks

Check the specs if it has Bluetooth no.if not yes.range is a little spotty between rooms

you can buy a bluetooth usb dongle for around $12 and the laptop has 3 usb's so even if you need bluetooth, it's a relatively cheap extra investment :)Why there is no review for this laptop ?

I believe it will work provided you have the right app and/or software. I have been able to connect my phone and laptop (Toshiba Satellite running Windows 7) using this adapter, and my computer recognizes my phone as a Bluetooth device. However, I'm still searching for the right software to make the connection to the internet. Hope that helps!

This is a wireless Bluetooth device, which means a Bluetooth capable device is needed in order to send signals to it. I believe there are Bluetooth adapters which you could use to upgrade your laptop, in order to use it with other Bluetooth devices. You CAN charge the speaker by plugging it into your laptop's USB port, but this is not how the speaker receives the data/sound that it plays wirelessly through the speaker.

the dongle worked for my netbook but did not work for my pc laptop. The manufacturer reported that my pc laptop (toshiba) has bluetooth, but it never could complete the connection. my ipad has blue tooth built in and no port for a dongle--and it did not need it. i was disappointed since i bought it for my laptop.

This works great with my Toshiba running 8.1. My laptop didn't have BT built in so I added a BT4.0 usb dongle. I'm very happy with this keyboard.

Dear Lynne,I have the Toshiba Bluetooth dongle on my Toshiba Satellite C675-S7200. According to the software that came with it the unit will work with any hardware device. I have not used it with wireless speakers but, it pairs, connects and operates well with my Android phone, Mac desktop and bluetooth headset. I tried other third party brands and had no successes. I finally found a Toshiba Bluetooth dongle and it has worked flawlessly. Tim

This device communicates via Bluetooth, which is a brand-name wireless standard. Your laptop must be Bluetooth capable, or you must purchase a Bluetooth adapter if your laptop does not have one built in.

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

I double checked the specs, it does NOT come with bluetooth, there are no bluetooth antennas in it.http://us.toshiba.com/computers/laptops/satellite/U940/U945-S4130/

I bought this charger for my dad's Toshiba Matrix Silver 14" Satellite L745D-S4350. Unfortunately, all my other computer equipment is made by HP or Dell although I love Toshiba for other electronics. Thus, I don't know much about which Toshiba models can work with which adapters. I can tell you I took a gamble on one for my HP Laptop and it paid off. The price of that adapter was comparable to this one. Anyway, I wish I could help more. I REALLY wish you the best of luck though!!!!

I use the Microsoft driver version: 6.1.7601.17514 from 2006 from Windows 7 Home Premium. http://www.drivermanager.com/en/drivers.php?Brand=Microsoft&Logo;=microsoft&gclid;=CK-V15qBmrwCFYY1QgodwSEAsw. I do not know your operating system but I would start with their support page for drivers. I did not use Toshiba's site: http://support.toshiba.com/support/modelHome?freeText=TSL632M

I feel your pain, I have enough USB crap to wire a small town. So I started using Macs, so, Easiest way, Buy a Mac! Bluetooth included as standard, otherwise keep screaming at Microsoft! Eventually, If Microsoft pushes hard enough, PC makers may decide to include the Bluetooth hardware.... or Buy a Mac!Oh almost forgot, MS does make a cute little Bluetooth notebook mouse 5000, works great with my little ASUS netbook, its no magic mouse, but just a standard scroll mouse.

This bluetooth mouse only requires your laptop to have bluetooth capability. However, I found this to be an unworkable solution as it would not connect to my Windows 7 computer. So maybe you might wanna try one of the more reputable mice. Pay a bit more for the reliability. That solution worked for me.

I agree with Cheryl. You will have to purchase a wireless printer because this adapter must have drivers installed.

We've had these since June and really like them. If your desktop doesn't have Bluetooth, then yes you will need an adapter. We use it for our phones and iPod which have Bluetooth built in.

You need to install the software that came with the USB adapter.I managed to plug in the adapter and Windows 8 made it work automagically. You should notice a bluetooth icon on your taskbar indicating that you have a bluetooth device installed.If after plugging it in, waiting a few minutes until windows installs it properly you don't see the blue bluetooth icon then you need to install the software manually forom the cd that came with your USB adapter.
