Ok. Without Bluetooth. ASUS UL30A-X5 worth it or not worth it? ASUS UL30A-X5 worth it or not worth it?

I thought that not having it was going to bug me, but it really hasn't been an issue. Do you have lots of bluetooth peripherals? Like les1984 basically suggested, you can get bluetooth receivers that don't stick out past the USB slot and always leave it in. EDIT: Here is a link to an example. You might be able to find more options prices elsewhere: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833242001

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.

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.

Thank you. That is a good question. I actually do not know, as I never use Bluetooth. Best to "Google" the computer model number and check the specifications.

You can use as a tablet without connecting. I only connect when I need to, that saves battery time.

Yes, it has the latest bluetooth (4.0). And as far as how it runs Photoshop and stuff, I would say it's fine. It's a good laptop and so far everything is well. Sony makes great computers.

To me I prefer 2555LMT just because I do not use the bluetooth feature. But you are paying quite a bit for it.

I am very underwhelmed with the web cam in the ASUS UL30A-X5. Its low quality, low res. does ok in low light. Always has a lag of about 2-3 seconds. If the integrated webcam is a selling point for you then look elsewhere. If you can get past these downfalls, you will love the X5 (like I do).

No Bluetooth. Recomendations about the tablet, very impressed overall. Memmory is 4 Gb.

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.

Yes my laptop did come with bluetooth, but I have not used it to verify quality in use.

Mine didn't have Bluetooth, I couldn't even get it to stay connected to the internet. Yes its cheap, and its NOT worth buying. I sent it Back!! Don't buy!!!

I switched to the Asus 7" a while back mostly because the is internet capabilities on the Klu are weak (almost nonexistent with WiFi). The Klu is not Android backed also. I would look for a used Asus or Samsung 7" for fifty dollars more. No frustrations.

No Bluetooth. It's not a fancy i-stuff but it is SOLID! Less is more. Good value at this price.

The U100 is upgradeable to 2gig memory and has more wireless capability, incl bluetooth. I want the memory for photo editing. After I purchased this little puppy, I dumped my new entertainment pc and desktop. I found that I just kept reaching for the U100. I had evaluated the Asus HE and the Samsung. Both weighed more, and the Samsung cost a lot more. I am quad booting this with XP, OSX, Linux, and Windows 7 so that I can test my web site on several platforms. What a solid, well-designed little machine! The keyboard and speaker issues are minor compared to the tremendous value and flexibility of this laptop, and are easily dealt with.

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

I love mine. The volume is pretty good and quite clear--better than giant flatscreens with Clearvoice. There is a jack for headphones which I never use, but I sit pretty close to mine. I sit on chaise lounge & put DVD player on tabletop. The volume isn't very very loud so you may want to splurge and get the next level that is Internet ready & Bluetooth enabled so you can hook up to speakers by wireless. I don't think there's Bluetooth on this model. But I love mine!
