I have finally realized that I want the convience of Bluetooth on my newly purchased X61. What do I need to do to add it to my existing notebook and how much will it cost?
Thanks
Robert

It is better to get integrated bluetooth with the system than adding it afterwards as sometimes it costs even more to add a new one later on.

Following threads would give you an idea about what you might require:

Please help: Installing BDC-2 module into X60s.

Retrofit Bluetooth to X60.

USB bluetooth seems like a cheaper option though.

HI all,
Thanks for the info. I have bought the MoGo Dapter and BT mouse for now but have called Lenovo and they didn't know anything but gave me the info for the local dealer and i've placed a call asking the question and the cost. Will let y'all what I find out.
Again thanks for the help. I should have bought a machine with bluetooth.
