M1730 More USB Slots on the back.

250 points posted to Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), XPS products by stormrider451 May 17

Hello there..

I currently own a M1730 and I think this computer is lacking in the USB department. It does have a total of four USB slots (one in back, two on the right and one in the left). But, I think one in the back is too little. Even my Inspiron E1405 has two USB slots on the back. I think the M1730 should have at least two slots in the back because this computer serves as a Desktop replacement for many people. And due to its relative lack of mobility, it usually stays put on the desk (as in my case). Therefore, the printer will be connected, and many other things will be connected to this computer at all times like a desktop usually is. Therefore, once that back USB is taken up by the printer, any other cabled device will have to go right on the side which looks aweful, the less cables you see plugged into your computer, the better.
So, I speak out of my own experience that the DELL should have at least 2, 3 or even 4 in the back. It ends up looking so ugly with the cables being plugged in the sides.

May 18		 Yea I would say the design team reallly dropped the ball on that detail when it comes to the M1730.. Someone didnt think it trough enough. Including myself ;) But thats their job :P

May 19		 Why not more usb ports in general across all systems. I'd kill to have more usb ports on my 1520 and 1530.

May 21		 I completely agree that theres a lot of space that could have a use, I don't know if that will mess up the cooling system and I also don't know if usbs would be the best option to insert. As a matter of fact I suggested puting a firewire 800 port in the M1730 but I don't mind that they also put some extra usbs inside
