Does the Sony Vaio VGN-AR630E come with Bluetooth?

Question

I purchase a power-horse of a laptop last year for my web development and graphic design business. It is a Sony Vaio VGN-AR630E and the product information on Sony's website says that some models may not come with Bluetooth capabilities. I spent over $2K for this notebook and it comes with everything but the kitchen sink (even has Blueray and a built-in Skype motion eye cam) so I figure it would automatically come with Bluetooth technology.

1) How do I find out if my laptop does or does not have Bluetooth capabilities?

2) If it does have it - how do I turn it on when using Windows Vista?

3) If it does not have it, how do I upgrade it to get Bluetooth capabilities to work with my mobile devices?

Answer 1

Sorry it doesn't, it is an optional extra that you will have to pay for, most time though when you buy a busness range laptop you should really, but it costs sony a furtune.

Under the networking section, the bluetooth device will be listed if its NOT an optional addon.

I did notice though, in the manual, here ->

That it does go on about bluetooth, so I would look in your device manager *under network adapters to see if you have a bluetooth device installed, you never know, it just might be disabled.

If you dont have one, and you live in the uk, try having a look on ebuyer.com or ebay.co.uk

*Device Manager can be found if you right click "My Computer" and select manage computer, the click the tab "device manager
