D-Bay on inspiron lineup and trackpoint on inspiron lineup

203 points posted to Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Inspiron products by lilredfoxie 02/16/07

A modular bay is a very handy idea, I think dell should have it on all their laptop lines, like in times past, I like the idea of having the ability to have an extra battery or hard drive in my computer if i need it and can switch out my dvd burner.

I also think the trackpoint should make a return as well to the inspiron lineup, its a handy pointing device that doenst wear your fingers out as much as the touch pad tends to do.

I would also like to see a expansion bay (D-Bay) on the inspirion lineup. At work, many people have laptops with a docking station. They run dual monitors, keyboard, and mouse off the expansion bay. When they need to go to a meeting, undock the laptop and take it with you. I would like this option for my home setup. I know this is available on the lattitudes, maybe open up the lattitude platform to home users!
