Bluetooth woes

Post by Zzebotes13 »

What to do. i was set on purchasing a mdeia center remote for my laptop, but i don;t want to have a huge bluetooth dongle sticking out of it. is it possible to use this card in a non MSI laptop (for example a Batillion barebone).

This is a site that sells a tiny bluetooth mice and they now have a very small usb adapter. There are also some pc card adapters that you could buy elsewhere.

I don't want to make an "I'm leaving" thread, but I've sort of lost interest in this board. So if you notice that I'm gone, that's why.

should work in any laptop with a free mini-pci slot, I think.

of course, there usually arent any free ones.

My plan was to swap it out with the one that came with the computer. My only concern is that no MSI's site they say it's only compatible with 2 of MSi's laptop
