It does say the card includes bluetooth, but HP along with their tech support can be very frustrating and confusing. I'd definitely check with them about returnability since it is a service part and not a retail item. I was in the same situation as you and wound up using a bluetooth card in my PC slot so I wouldn't have to keep removing a dongle. I'm not sure if there are any bluetooth expresscards out there yet since it is a newer technology. Good Luck!
