Don't buy with integrated Bluetooth, look elsewhere
This product has a lot of 5 star reviews, and I think the standard model without bluetooth may deserve them. The model that has bluetooth "included" is a very poor design. Instead of connecting the bluetooth through the PCIe connection, you have to connect it to a USB hub on your system board (the one that most system boards reserve for front panel USB connections). It's just dumb to have to waste an entire USB HUb on one device, let alone one that should be connecting through the PCIe connection the card was designed for.
WiFi works well, installation is quick and easy, comes with a low profile bracket as well. I bought a card that had integrated bluetooth, which I now cannot use because the card is poorly designed. I'll stick with the micro-dongle I already have for bluetooth, but will keep the card since it's not worth the hassle to exchange. The point of this review is to let others know the bluetooth capabilities are very misleading, and the reviews have the non-bluetooth version mixed in with the bluetooth version.
