Has anyone tried to link a bluetooth 4.0 device to this computer without a USB adapter?

YEs it will connect to Blue Tooth 4 devices but will default to the Bluetooth 3 or 2 depending on the devices you are connecting and which version it supports. All you need to do is enable the Bluetooth adapter and set device in pairing mode and it should discover it. Some devices are not backward compatible with Version 3 and Version 2 and will not work as they only connect using Bluetooth version 4. I have seen this with some high speed devices that do not work at lower speeds.

I used this on an ancient MacBook from 2005 (Power PC?) via USB. No Bluetooth involved. I still use it that way on my newer MarBook.

It is a connection to mobo USB. I believe it must be connected to use the Bluetooth function.

No, unfortunately. You could get a little USB to Bluetooth adapter for $13:Kinivo BTD-300 Bluetooth 3.0 Low Energy USB adapter - For Windows 10 / 8.1 / 8 / 7 / Vista, Mac OS 10.3.9 or Later

No Bluetooth hardware. But it does have the software, so you can use a USB-Bluetooth transciever. I use this one:Plugable USB Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy Micro Adapter (Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Raspberry Pi, Linux Compatible; Classic Bluetooth, and Stereo Headset Compatible)It works with my Bluetooth audio headset (haven't tried other things yet). Just keep in mind that on Linux, the software may have a name such as Bluez or Blue Devil, or something like that.

As far as I know, there is no way to do that. It doesn't have a usb port that you could connect an adapter to. I don't know of anything off the top of my head that could convert this to Bluetooth.

Yes - we put a small bluetooth adaptor in the USB port and it works no problem

It does not have Bluetooth built into it, but it will use a USB adapter just fine. That's what I did.

I'm using a Lenovo wireless USB keyboard, which works well. Haven't tried a bluetooth.

Not that I know of, but I think you could probably find a Bluetooth tool for the USB port

Does anyone know if it's possible to install an internal bluetooth adapter yourself on the u43jc-x1?

No Bluetooth. No endorsement here, but you could try something like this for a few bucks: Bluetooth USB 2.0 Micro Adapter Dongle6-cell 4400mAh, 7.5hrs MobileMark2007 score.

You can pair the headphones without the adapter with any bluetooth device, just put both devices in pairing mode and they should connect.

It doesn't have built in Bluetooth, you'll need to purchase a separate dongle for this.
