    Hello,
    I'm a new owner of an Aspire One netbook, model AO751h. It has an icon on the F3 key that indicates that if I push Fn-F3, I should be able to toggle bluetooth on/off. This doesn't do anything. Is this machine capable of using bluetooth?
    Thank you,
    Vaughn McIlrath

    Blue Tooth is not listed as standard.

    You need to purchase a Bluetooth "dongle". It plugs into one of the USB ports on the Aspire One. I got a "mini" dongle on eBay for around $6.00 with free freight out of Hong Kong in a blister pack brand new. It is so small that you can leave it plugged in all the time and it looks like it is built in because it is so small.
