So I read another idea concerning a product called the Ultrabook, and I decided to check the product for myself. I try to configure it, and I notice the following:"Silver Anodized Aluminum and 13.3" HD (720p) Truelife WLED Display with 1.3MP HD Webcam"That's no way to describe a screen. I want to see the actual screen resolution (1366x768, 1440x900, 1920x1200 as the case may be). I'm sure that's also what your customers (especially your business customers) want to see as well.(I'm pretty sure that it's 1366x768, as I've come to expect that from Dell, but still, customers want to see the actual dimensions of the screen. "HD 720p", whatever that means, doesn't cut it.)
Great job Dell, keep it up!This storm session is a fine example of engaging you community at a level where individual contributers can provide real insight.In the past some of the session have been too generic or broad to get any real engagement. I think that hit the ball out of the park on this one.
Recently Google announced the availability of Google Drive for Microsoft Windows and Apple OSX. This is a great tools for synchronization of documents and files in your Google Docs account down to your local machine.Unfortunately, at this time there is not an official Linux client for Google Drive.It would be great to see Dell take a leadership role in spearheading a project to create such a client and offer it as part of Project Sputnik.
Hello Dell,first let me say: Thanks for giving people the chance to participate in your product development and for this great idea of a developer Ultrabook.My idea is simple: Give us better display with higher resolution.If I want to develop on a laptop with this lowcost 1366*768px resolution, I don't need to spend 900$+ to do this. So to make it short: PLEASE give us a matte display with a resolution of at least 1600*900px.Thank you.
I bought a laptop from Dell back when they were still selling the Ubuntu option. I intended to run Ubuntu, but when I was selecting the options, I saw that (for some reason I don't fully understand) the Ubuntu version was more expensive. Maybe the extra cost was in assumed support, but regardless it strikes the brain strange to charge MORE for a free OS than for a paid one. I figured I'd save money and have a Windows license in case, so that's I bought it with Windows and then just install Ubuntu. Had it been the same cost or lower I would have bought Ubuntu. Don't shoot yourself in the foot here by charging extra for this stuff, especially when targeting developers. We still glorify the self-built, self-modded setup, so I wouldn't bet on being able to charge extra for "ease-of-use".
Laptop for developer needs to be ergonomic, allowing for long hours workin with code without causing much strain on eyesight. Working with glossy screen in office environment is just terrible. Also, TN screen is subpar. So the ideas for the screen are:- must have matte as option (or even default)- must be IPS- optional 14" model- 16:10 aspect ratio (instead of current 16:9)- should have better resolution (at least 1440x900 for 13", higher resolutions as options)
