"New" 2.5 g5...BT module installation....

I don't actually know about PMs (on the laptops, it is not something that can be readily installed at the store or by the user), but I was just wondering...do any PCI BT cards work on a PM, since it has slots?

 

I was wondering the same thing. Been tempted by the blow out pricing on some of the older PM G5's.

 

Why is that an unfortunate thing?

Ooh, found you some reading material, dear:

It is a guide on how to install the BT module in a PMG5...so at least then you'll know how complicated it is. Still doubt the store does it for you on the day of purchase, though.

 

i believe the only in store upgrades are ram and airport cards. i think BT has to be a BTO option, which you can only do online.

might just be easier to get a USB dongle instead of going through the hassle

 

With the PM G5, you end up having something sticking out of the back of the machine whether or not it's internal -- though one takes up the external USB port instead of the internal USB connection.
