Bluetooth
Acer validates Bluetooth drivers for its Aspire, Swift, Predator, and desktop lines, matching the radio to the wireless card in each configuration. The underlying silicon can be Intel, Realtek, or another vendor, so Acer's model-specific package removes the guesswork of picking a generic radio build. Look the machine up by its model name to reach the tested file.
