> The first thing I did was to boot Ubunu Lucid UNR from an SD card - no

>
> Over all - this model is less comfortable than the 1000HE, but is no doubt

> a better CPU (N450).

> The BIOS doesn't show Bluetooth under the internal devices section, but the
> Webcam isn't either and it works....
>
> The rep at the mall stand told me she checked with Ronlight and the said
> it has Bluetooth, but needs a driver...
>
> Is there a way to find out for sure?
>
> I compared the lspci output between the two models, and it is identical,
> and the 1000HE's Bluetooth worked out of the box and has it in the BIOS...
