I understand this uses the wifi but wondering if it also has Bluetooth, does it? Also can I buy bridge at a later time?

No blue tooth. Really no need for it since the devices are ment to be plugged in & the bridge needs to be hooked to Ethernet. Sound quality of bluetooth is degraded due to bluetooth audio codecs

No bluetooth, and it can be used without a bridge, however you will then need to connect the play 5 itself to your router via an Ethernet cable.

It does NOT have Bluetooth. And I believe a Bridge is required to use ANY functionality on the speaker. There is a line-in on it, but it's meant to feed info to the Bridge through your network so it can send to all the Sonos speakers indirectly. You can't use the line-in to play directly through the Play:5. If that's what you want, I'd get a standalone speaker rather than Sonos.

It does not seem to have bluetooth. I ordered on Black Friday and got it Sun, Nov 30. I've been playing with it since and do not see it anywhere, including device manager.

No, it does not. And if the Bluetooth connectivity is important to you, its not the best option on the market. But aside from those 2 downsides, it's a great unit.

Yes....it uses bluetooth but it has to have tablet capabilities. I went to Best Buy and bought a Bluetooth called Jawbone. It's like 80 bucks and its still sounds choppy. This is a very good brand of Bluetooth. But 1 thing I can tell you, I ordered this tablet in October 28th by November 1st it stop working on me so I had to reorder another 1. Keep in mind if this breaks down there is no where you can take it. And the company does not help you at all because this tablet is made in China. But Amazon will refund you within 30 days. But I like it for my needs. Just take very good care of it. Very fragile tablet!! Yes....it uses bluetooth but it has to have tablet capabilities.

Generally, people use this computer wirelessly. You spend about $20 and get the bluetooth/WiFi card. However, if wireless isn't available: search Amazon for USB ethernet adapter. Buy one and connect directly. You can do this for Bluetooth also for a total of two USB adapters, but now you're down to one USB! You may want to buy a USB mini-hub. Yikes.

No, there is no Bluetooth technology. Its a simple MP3 music/E-bboks/AMV(NOT MP4)videos reader, and some simple games installed on it. Good for the price, but of course its no I-Pod!

It does not have wifi or Bluetooth built in, but you can buy addon cards to add that functionality.

Apparently you do not need the bridge anymore. Due to the robustness of modern WIFI networks, the newest software update (as of September 2014) allows for WIFI connection, instead of their proprietary network. See: http://blog.sonos.com/news/introducing-an-even-simpler-sonos/

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.

I can answer one of your 2 questions... Yes, it does have bluetooth. As far as connecting 2 PC monitors... I am not sure, but since there is only one PC port, if it is capable I would assume that a dongle would be needed. (again I am not sure)I use my unit as a Plex Media Player and therefor go through the HDMI port.

Hi,Wifi and Bluetooth are standard in my config. I would recommend that you contact the seller for the config you are looking for. Hope this helps.

Mine didn't have Bluetooth, I couldn't even get it to stay connected to the internet. Yes its cheap, and its NOT worth buying. I sent it Back!! Don't buy!!!

They don't use bluetooth, you will need internet. The bulbs communicate with the bridge using your local network. Does that answer your question?

This IS NOT a Bluetooth device. In fact the description made no mention of such in the description posted on their site. This is strictly a hdmi to hdmi device only. It does have a USB port to connect wireless devices, but that is it. I have multiple tablets/smartphones from Android to iOS. This device was an impulse buy..what a waiste of money! I used it one time only. I spend most of my time on my iPad, Samsung Galaxy Note, or ps3. There is no Amazon Prime app for ANY Android device. So if you are a Prime member...iOS and ps3 are the only options to view Amazon Prime movies/shows. I will sell the Minix to anyone who wants it for twenty bucks...let me know.
