#1 3 reasons, cost, cost, cost. You can find bluetooth in high end netbooks.

I cannot find the technical spec for this in Lenovo site but some other website (http://www.laptopmag.com/review/laptops/lenovo-s10.aspx?mode=specs) indicates that this series may have built in bluetooth. I like the 10.2" screen instead of just 8.9". I will get one if they indeed have built in bluetooth.

you can get bluetooth on dell mini, or order the module and install it yourself, or buy the mini dongle.

#1 I think the MSI Wind U100-279US has bluetooth. the reasons that most do not include it is the cost (the MSI costs around $400). I also heard that bluetooth sucks power. (so that would kill your battery life) Is it true that bluetooth is only used to transfer music and photos etc to a cell phone? that does not seem very useful to me. Now if bluetooth connected to a headset so you could make internet phone calls hands free, that would be a good feature.

If bluetooth is all you're worried about buy super cheap here http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.11866. Been using dealextreme for about a year and shipping is consistent about 2 weeks from Hong Kong, and it is free. For less than $4 total you have your bluetooth.
