Does this item have bluetooth? I also read it has win 8 recovery disk. Does it also have win 7 recovery disk just in case I want to restore factory?

The laptop does have bluetooth and it works well. I have the windows 8 recovery disks but I don't seem to have any Windows 7 recovery disks. It seems like it came with Windows 8 but they downgraded it, so all of the recovery disks are for Windows 8. I just cloned the initial harddrive in case anything happens I can just put it back tot he way it was when I got it.

Yes it has blue tooth. If you get windows 7 it will have a recovery partition for windows 7 and software to make your own recovery disk which I recommend doing first thing. Mine did not come with windows 8. I think you have to choose one or the other, unless they are running some specia deall. If you want to switch later on you can always buy the other OS

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.

Works with Windows 8 just fine. I am running a router in house and if that is Bluetooth I don't know.

Your computer needs to have Bluetooth and if you have added a USB dangle for it, then it needs to load/get the driver and from my experience on a few Windows 7 devices without and with Bluetooth, Windows 7 is a disgrace to an OS when it comes to Bluetooth connections, it is slow, faulty, and painful. The second, if you ever decide to do it, you switch to Windows 8, everything becomes normal!

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.

It's preloaded with Windows 7 and comes with the restore disks for both Win 7 and 8. Hope this helps!

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.

Yes to the Bluetooth. It is a lovely computer and so very fast but something went wrong and I couldn't make it OK again. I would probably buy the same one again as it is a bargain but was unfortunate in the one I got.

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.

It had Bluetooth. BUT I wouldn't recommend buying it. It freezes up and can't be used.

Yes this has blue tooth,and the version is 2.3 I believe. Have no problem with Bluetooth connectivity.

I do not run a Win 8 system; yet I am sure the backward compatibility with the USB 2.0 and Bluetooth 2.0 system shouldn't pose any problems with such a OS as Windows 8. Those standards (USB AND Bluetooth 2.0) were agreed upon and accepted to avoid circumvention of OS and Win XP forward utilize a encapsulation to protect the Operating System [OS]. I hope this alleviates any questions regarding this type product for you. Good day.

Don't know I don't have bluetooth capability on my laptop with 8.1. Haven't tried it like that on my windows 7 laptop that does have bluetooth. Will update if I do at some point.

It comes with Bluetooth capability, wireless AND hard-wired internet capability and all three work fine. Using Win 8.1. Setup was quick and easy.
