The keyboard will not work at all or will it work for awhile and shut off? Does the mouse work? Could it possibly be interference of some kind, maybe from cordless phone or baby monitor, some thing like that? Blutooth maybe? Wish i could help out more, sorry.

two notes. The wireless feature goes off and on on occasion. So the Keyboard and/or mouse won't work for 30% of the time :( approx 70% of the time it works great and the other 30% doesn't work good or work at all for that matter. The Keyboard is very quiet.

I use a wireless mouse and suppose you could use wireless keyboard. Don't know about monitor.

Hi, When I look for bluetooth radios in the device manager it is not there so technically I guess it doesn't have bluetooth, but let me ask you why do you need it? The reason I am asking is, I have connected a wireless mouse and keyboard via a USB port and they work just fine. The only other reason I can think of that you might want bluetooth is to transfer files, but there is a multitude of other ways to do that. The most important question is how did I only pay $619 for the exact same computer on Amazon. I bought when Amazon had them in stock just 4 weeks ago and it was sold and fulfilled by Amazon. Now there are only other vendors. This laptop is incredible and I wouldn't let bluetooth stop me because technically, I think you can do everything you need without it. Again, I am doing a bluetooth keyboard and mouse with it just fine from 20 feet away. Keep checking the price and when it goes back to $619 - buy it.

Its ok lol, the wifi adapter comes pre-installed on the motherboard. All you need to do is run the included wires from the WiFi adapter to the antennas (also included). It has everything you need to make the computer wirelessly compatible. Of course you'll need your home wifi network to connect to, but that's it! Both the Wifi and the motherboard work wonderfully. I've been very happy with mine.

The keyboard and mouse aren't wireless, I don't know about the motherboard.

The keyboard and mouse on this system are connect by a USB receiver using a RF connection. Here is an article that we created regarding the wireless keyboard and mouse for this unit, if you are experiencing problems: http://acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/32351

This does not have Bluetooth capability. It comes with a dongle for the wireless keyboard and mouse. But it does lack Bluetooth.

I use a standard wireless mouse and keyboard that uses a mini usb receiver. You can use a wired USB mouse and keyboard as well. You will need to add a separate wireless network / bluetooth card if you want bluetooth mouse and keyboard. I have this card: Intel Network 7260.HMWG WiFi Wireless-AC 7260 H/T Dual Band 2x2 AC+Bluetooth HMC. The IR port is for a remote control, such as a windows media center remote.

You have some functionality but it is easier with a mouse. I bought two cheap wireless keyboard and mouse kits from Big Lots for 20$ each, one is connected to my docking station and big screen and the other is kept in my office.

this model i bought included mouse/keyboard and wifi. I didn't use mouse/keyboard, as very basic and bought logitech wireless ones. Wifi works a treat. Awesome little rig this is and very quiet.

My question as well. I would be all over this one even without Bluetooth or the backlit keyboard if there were more reviews. Now there is a second review but it's for the guy's client, and contributes nothing. I want to hear feedback about the wifi card's connectivity issues, if any.

You need a 2.4Ghz Desktop for good range (around 30ft) The only ones by logitech are the DiNivo's which are very expensive and one called simply the Cordless desktop 2400( anround $55). I also was using this for a "Couch system" and it works well, but if you go for this get yourself a USB extension as the receiver is a little USB stick and being shielded by my metal computer gear reduced the range, the usb extension allowed me to find a good receiving spot.

I'm using a Lenovo wireless USB keyboard, which works well. Haven't tried a bluetooth.

I copied the info regarding wireless - I hope it helps - sorry that I not more knowledgeable! I do love the computer though!The Add a device wizard in this version of Windows lets you connect a Bluetooth mobile phone, keyboard, mouse, or other wireless device to your computer, including devices that use Wi‑Fi connections. You can also use this wizard to connect a network device to your computer, such as a network-enabled scanner, storage device, or Windows Media Center Extender. Network-enabled devices must be connected to the same network your computer is on before you can add them to your computer.

I can (and do) sometimes sit. You can move your mouse and keyboard to the desk top under the keyboard, which is easier if they're wireless.
