No probs.

Macs are good/great, as long as you do not mind being unable to
configure them as you please.

For example, you can disable bluetooth in the sys prefs but disabling
the bluetooth module (after wading through xml nonsense) or disabling
the bluetooth module and deleting it will only mean that it is
restored after an update.
