Most newer laptops will include Bluetooth, but very few desktops will, and will need a USB Bluetooth adaptor.

"Most" is an overstatement. On most Dells and Lenovos, it's a build-to-order option, and it has to be a listed feature on HPs, Toshibas, etc. that you buy in stores.

I was basing this off a quick look around Harvey Normans laptop section (mainly Acer's and HP's) and pretty much all of them except the budget <$1200 models had Bluetooth as standard.
