I just bought a Asus X401A-BCL0705Y laptop and want to upgrade the wife card with something that has a Bluetooth i'm not sure if it possible so thats why im here. Is there any options out there that could give me Bluetooth without me having to buy a Bluetooth dongle?
 
Apparently the Asus X401A series comes equipped with Bluetooth 4.0. Are you sure BIOS is up to date while your wireless drivers are all installed and up to date? If you're yet within warranty then I'd advise against opening up your notebook to and picking up a Bluetooth dongle, if has been established that you don't have a Bluetooth functionality on your device.

If you're outside of warranty then you can go through this disassembly video and swap out your wireless card with this or this.
