My laptop's 5+ years old without Bluetooth capability. That changed in a few short minutes. This adapter was the least expensive out there with free shipping. It is definitely "micro" and easy to install. Plus, B&H treated me like I was a big spender with immediate shipping and excellent followup. The product and company are wonderful!
