why does its bluutooth doesn’t work? everytime i click on the bluetooth button, it says “NO BLUETOOTH DEVICE”. does this model reall do not have bluetooth? thank you very much!

It does not make sense for Acer to create a new enclosure design just because some will have bluetooth and some won’t. Remember why you are buying an Acer in the first place. They are CHEAP! Acer has done an outstanding job in keeping the prices low for decent equipment. Every manufacturer does this, even my Dell Inspirion 8600 has the bluetooth button without the module.

Arindam: The fact that bluetooth is not mentioned anywhere in the specs serves as your notice. I’ve never seen a laptop that advertised features that it does not have.

There is good news however. You can add the bluetooth module to your computer, if you are comfortable with disassembling your laptop.

I have an Acer 4730Z that has the bluetooth button but it does not include the module. I bought the module off ebay and I installed it last night. Everything works perfectly. Go to ebay and type this in the search box: “Acer bluetooth module”

There are a few different ones so make sure you get the right one. Here is the one that I bought: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=170277722003

That seller has a bunch of them and I have left him good feedback.

Good luck!

(It has a Wireless Networking switch that does – another story).

I don’t know why they put such a useless switch without providing any notice that there is no Bluetooth adapter inbuilt.

Anyway, Ubuntu runs very well on it.
