Pros: I have four computers desktops and laptop and four printers all working Bluetooth. Tried IBM PC Cards, Linsksys they could not come close to the ZOOM 4312-00-68AF. from Newegg.com Pros: This is a great way to add Bluetooth to a laptop without it. Less intrusive than adding a USB dongle. from Newegg.com Pros: None at the moment because I can't use it anymore. Cons: Some recent Microsoft updates have made this card impossible to use. I cannot get it to load reliably anymore during startup - always hit or miss. from Newegg.com Pros: plugged it in and it worked. I previously had the built-in bluetooth adapter on a Compaq NC6000 and was unable to find a replacement (for cheap anyway). Didn't want a USB dongle because I broke one on the laptop already. from Newegg.com Cons: None so far. Connects with my BT mouse right from the logon screen, whereas the dongle solution had to wait until I logged in before it tried to connect, and even then took a couple more seconds to establish the pair. Other Thoughts: I have this installed on a D630, where the card slot is on the top half of the notebook body. The card gets hot enough for the heat to permeate through the plastic. from Newegg.com Pros: Read my previous review from March Cons: Read my previous review from March Other Thoughts: I reviewed this card back in March and gave it 3 stars due to the fact it was making the keyboard and mouse on my laptop (Dell Inspiron 710m) non-responsive for a few seconds every five to ten minutes. I tried many things to fix this and wasn't successful. from Newegg.com Great range and great speed. Doesn't stick out leaving anything to break off accidentally Cons: Absolutely none. Other Thoughts: If you need to add Bluetooth to a laptop without it, this is the only option worth considering. I have a USB adapter and using it on the go always made me nervous that it would break my USB port if it got in a bind. from Newegg.com Doesn't stick out too far out of the slot. Activity lights are not terribly distracting, like some BT adapters can be. Cons: Tricky driver support in Vista. Built-in Vista BT Stack generally works okay, but I found a conflict with my Toshiba Laptop's built-in FlashReader. from Newegg.com Strengths: it is bluetooth on a laptop without a fragile USB dongle. Weaknesses: software stack, install process, support, reliability. from Amazon.com I bought this product with the Logitech V270 Mouse. First off, download the latest drivers, do NOT use the ones packaged with the card. Or you can use the default XPSP2 Microsoft drivers built in. from Amazon.com
