FALSE ADVERTISING!!! I bought this unit ($1,500) based on the Acer website specs for the unit which includes, among other things, Bluetooth. Guess what? The website lied, there is no Bluetooth. I called and wrote Acer and all I got back was “we apologize for the inconvenience but we are not responsible for the information on our website” - ???!!!??
Are you kidding me? If we can’t use the manufacturers own website to get accurate information about their products, where can we go? Bluetooth was a major reason I bought the unit. As I write this - one month after initially talking to Acer - the false information remains on their website!! Avoid Acer, they have ZERO customer accountability and now I’m stuck with this thing.

As a response to the above comment, I am currently using the Acer aspire 6920, with no problems what so ever, granted, the bluetooth is a little awkward to use, however, my one certainly has it.
I believe that there are quite a few different models of the 6920, with varying specs, including processor, graphics card, wireless (draft-n yes/no) and blue tooth, and the same with the 8 series.
Have to admit though, not liking vista much.. prefer ubuntu…
At any rate, it is much better than my old Sony Vaio… that piece of s*** (pardon my language, I do hate to curse, however, this demonstrates my strength of feeling) was not worth the price in pence, yet alone pounds.

Re: 6920g bluetooth
Push vertical button extreme bottom right hand side.
Bluetooth icon appeared on right hand side of task bar. Double clicked icon to set bluetooth options.
Cheers.

I found the button. It had a little blutooth logo above it. I push it and “not installed” pops up on the screen. Jerks.
