You are right. I've obsessed about this decision ad nauseum. I always want the best bang for the buck. I guess I wanted it to be light first and foremost. I want to put it in my purse and not have a sore shoulder. I do some writing on it and the Internet. That's it. But, I also always do late night quarterbacking and see ads for better and better options and then think....oh no.....what did I do? So silly. It's not that much money and there will always be better machines on the horizon. Sigh.... I just doubt my decisions before an item arrives because I still have the option of returning it for something else. I typically never do that though. You are right.

Hi Nancy, You know what, your comments made me smile because I recognised myself a few years back and still, now and then, it happens to me. I now just can't wait for you to tell me how you like it. I'm sure you gonna enjoy it a great deal ! Hope to hear from you about it soon !

Hi Nancy As I first told you yes, it makes a little more than a month that I got my MSI 120 and it works perfect and I see that your bro got the same opinion than mine, so everything's cool. In life we all make mistakes but to make the best out of it is to learn from it the most things we can, like this it turns to be no more a mistake but a learning experience. But in that case you've done no mistake. Hear from you when you receive your MSI.

It looks to me that the only difference between 024us and 020us is 020us comes with 1)Bluetooth and 2) 802.11n, while 024us has no bluetooth and only 802.11b/g. Check this out: http://www.msimobile.com/nblist.aspx?series=U120

Hi Betty, I think the bluetooth on the u100 allows you to also you a wireless mouse. However, you can currently use the mouse pad or a wireless mouse and a small attachment in a usb port rather than a bluetooth. A bluetooth eliminates the attachment which does protrude from the computer a little bit. It would be nice to have but definitely not necessary. Still...why didn't they put it on the u120 and put it on the u100?

I asked my brother, a computer geek and a doctor, and he said 1G is more than enough RAM. He also asked me how often I use a bluetooth for anything now and the answer is never. Every month there are new computer specs and better equipment coming out so I will never have it all. I think I worry about making a mistake and not trusting my own decisions. Did you get yours yet?

Well, can anyone tell me what this blue tooth is all about and what difference there is between 802.11n and 802.11b/g and what it's for don't laugh too much i'm lost....

thank you very much karen for that answer, it does help. so i have no regret when it comes to my purchase of the 120 001us. i just do not need that bluetooth stuff. i'm quite satisfied and it does all what i need. may be a little more power would be welcome but for the price and portability it's just absolutely great, thanks to msi !

Nope, this version came with 4.1. The version without Bluetooth comes with 4.2. If you are into a bit of hacking you can put 4.2 on it with a custom firmware.

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 ?

good question... but in fact this notebook has bluetooth and its internal. If there is any wireless card its not accessible or its part of the motherboard

Original answer had it right. It DOES NOT come with a "bluetooth dongle". It comes with a 2.4GHz RF usb dongle (you cannot used this dongle as a generic bluetooth adapter). The headphones has 2 modes - bluetooth and RF. If your computer already has bluetooth you can use either mode.

This version does not have bluetooth. .. if your looking for bluetooth then u want the JBL Micr Wireless! =)

Mine didn't either. assume faulty hardware because driver install wouldn't matter if windows can't even find a device to install a driver for. threw it away and the bought a bluetooth 4.0 name brand for $10 which required no drivers. plug and play.

I own this laptop and it does not have Bluetooth. It does have Windows 8.1 which is a huge downside to ownership.

The Asus support page for the UL20A has a bluetooth driver for download. Can any owners confirm or deny if there is bluetooth in this laptop?

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

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.

No It COULD use Bluetooth at not sig. cost to MS. But it is Microsoft's arrogant rejection of standards. I love the mouse, but hate that it takes up one of only two USB ports on my Ultrabook that has Bluetooh built in. It all goes back to the early days of the PC industry, dominated by young boys who never learned to play well with others

Is that to say that you can use the mouse and keyboard w/o the included dongle? I'm looking for a bluetooth set to use w/ the integrated bluetoth. Thanks.

Am looking at the Device Manager, under: "Bluetooth." It says: "Dell Wireless 1707 Bluetooth 4.0 LE Device"BTY... I love this 2-in-1.

Make sure you got the right model: I ordered one with Bluetooth and was sent a cheaper version without. Your instruction manual should show the process for connecting Bluetooth. If not, you may have been cheated, like me.

Softy, did you ever find a replacement key for your MS Bluetooth 6000 keyboard? I have the EP121 with the same keyboard and I also need a replacement key (W). Did you find a website selling the replacement keys?Kimberly8/1/2013 UPDATE: Thanks to Terence below for his suggestion of www.laptopkey.com. I just ordered the "W" key I needed. Total cost was $6.37 with shipping. Should be here in a few days. There is also a video on the site showing exactly how to install the key I needed. Will update this post when I install the key. Much cheaper than a new keyboard.
