I do not have bluetooth on this laptop. It only has 2 usb ports so I run mouse/hub from them. The hub has only one slot free. Can I run a bluetooth dongle, what kind and where should I get it and is it ok plugged into the hub or should I plug it into the pc's usb just when I use it? Do they work as well as built-in bluetooth?
many thanks.
