I have a Dell laptop running windows 7, it's now several years old and doesn't have Bluetooth built in, but I'd like to be able to connect to Bluetooth enabled devices. Looking on ebay, I've found THIS (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mini-CSR-V4-0-USB-Bluetooth-Dongle-Wireless-High-Speed-Converter-For-PC-Laptop-/191175013789?pt=UK_Computing_USB_Bluetooth_Adapter s_Dongles&hash=item2c82eb359d), being somewhat cynical in my old age, I tend to distrust things that appear too good to be true, can this cheap £4.40 dongle really do the business and bring Bluetooth connectivity to my aging lappy? If not, what do I need?

Yup, it can do it. Bluetooth has been around a while now and as usual, prices for technology go down with age...

I had a Qualcomm Bluetooth dongle when Bluetooth was in it's heyday and it cost well under a tenner then (was about £7-£8 I think). So these devices have never been that expensive, really.
