Check specs. I thought I had it just because I assumed it was included. It also had an enable/disable entry in bios. But unless your 100 % sure you ordered it, you probably just thought it was included, like a few of us. |

I wasn't told of the bluetooth option, when I ordered on Black Friday,over the phone. I guess it was a phone salesperson slipup. So without being aware, and seeing the on/off in bios, I thought it might be there, so yeah, I guess some mistakes could be considered unearthly. |

that is why you have to do your homework before you order, when I ordered mine, I didnt even trust the internet, I called and talked to a real person (in this country) and spec'd out every single detail and made them read it back to me AND email the specs B 4 it was even built....I think thats the best way to deal with these people... |

Even then, though, some people find that the system they receive is not what is specified and the Dell CSRs are often clueless about it. The WWAN option seems to be the most problematic. My guess is that most of the people thinking they are getting BT when they aren't have ordered from the outlet or are choosing preselected configurations. If you do the "customize" option, you get to choose everything available and it is clearly listed. Mini 9|2GB RAM|64GB RunCore|Intel 5300|Windows 8 |

I just got a Dell Mini 10v myself. I replaced the HD & RAM following guides found online here, and it was a breeze! I've installed OS X and updated to 10.6.2 with no problems at all. When I get the time I intend to figure out the whole process from dual booting OS X & XP SP3 (maybe this weekend.) Any way, this site is an amazing resource! |
