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

Depends on how much you need the Bluetooth feature. I personally don't need it all that often and if I did, I've got a bunch of $2 mini bluetooth receivers I could use.

No blue tooth. Really no need for it since the devices are ment to be plugged in & the bridge needs to be hooked to Ethernet. Sound quality of bluetooth is degraded due to bluetooth audio codecs

IMHO, yes. 95W vs 75. MultiEQ XT vs MultiEQ. I personally have no use for bluetooth and I'd rather have wired ethernet than wifi. If you can score a good deal on the x2000, go for it!

Nope. It's basically an excellent tablet with keyboard. Might as well buy a real laptop for that, lots of deals under $300 going on now!

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 !

Firstly, it has Wi-fi. Secondly, it is theoretically capable of having Bluetooth, but the model I have does not include it. It's a great laptop, though, and you can get a Bluetooth adapter for $10.

Nope - it is an extra purchase. So is bluetooth connectivity (both worth it, in my opinion though it would have been nice if they'd been included)

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

Nope, I've had two (lost the first one) and both have been rock solid. Best Bluetooth mouse without a receiver I have used.

no Bluetooth - yes for multi-touch, but it seldom works. Now that I have the unit for 3 months, I have had to buy a new charger, I must keep it plugged in all the time to work. Half the time it doesn't connect to my router for internet access, even though it shows connected. About all I can do with it anymore is play Angry birds. No internet - no App store, no video, no e-books. But it was cheap

No Bluetooth. If it actually had it, it never worked. So, no to wireless headphones unfortunately .

No built-in bluetooth on this model. You would need to use one of the USB ports. Laptop has worked perfectly for me.

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).

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've owned my UL30A-X5 since the beginning of 2011 (original owner) and the battery is suddenly now failing (I am getting a message on my power meter "Consider replacing your battery"). A) I'm surprised that I've owned this computer for 15 months and the battery is now failing B) The reviews for the replacement battery ASUS sells indicate those batteries are not sold at full capacity (note, not full charge, but full capacity)Please comment and advise.Thank you,JK

No bluetooth. As a countermeasure, I purchased a bluetooth adapter for about $15. Love it!

I got my 9-cell off of ebay and it was around 7-7.5 hours reported with wireless but no bluetooth, though I didn't actually use it that long. It does add a lot of weight, I think the battery might weigh almost as much as the laptop :D
