M18x Support for Alienware in India
Jun 7, 2013
2 Votes
Status: Acknowledged
I think M18x should be supported in India and Dell need to promote its advertising/marketing of alienware in India, and customisation should be allowed in India, it was a pity we couldnt upgrade to the 680M in the R4, but hopefully that wont be the case in R5.

Windows and Office Storm Session
I would like to see some Dell and Microsoft collaboration within IdeaStorm.IdeaStorm has had much more emphasis on Linux than Windows despite the fact the Dell customer base for Windows is much larger than that of Linux.Ideas to do with Microsoft products and Dell systems need involvement of both companies and Microsoft don't seem to have an IdeaStorm like service.There are problems with Microsoft Products (Windows 8 in particular) and Dell Desktops. The user reviews for the popular Inspiron 660 and XPS 8500 list Windows 8 as the most mentioned con yet all these users are happy with Windows 7. I expect the XPS 8700 to have similar reviews. This is because the tablet interface alongside new start menu with lack of commonly used icons has been enforced by Microsoft on Windows 8 and much customisation is lost from Windows 7.Reinstallation DVDs not being shipped with systems and being made hard to request is also an issue which has upset customers alot. A download link for clean installation is desired by many customers.There are probably a wide variety of other ideas which would likely be generated if a Microsoft Products Storm Session would be created and also it would likely attract more customers to the Dell Community.

Facebook Login to IdeaStorm
I have noticed that alot of my ideas have had more votes on the Dell Community than on IdeaStorm because of the larger user base. We have requested a single sign on somewhat unsuccessfully through the Dell Community. However in addition a Facebook addin for each idea would also be great where a users "like" would be equivalent to an "idea promotion". A Google mail and Microsoft Account extension would also be welcomed.In addition to enabling more users to vote, this would place IdeaStorm via IdeaStorm ideas on users Facebook pages promoting both IdeaStorm and the Dell Community.Note the Facebook login aswell as Google mail and Microsoft Account would only be for users who wish to promote ideas. If a user decided to post a new idea they would still need to join IdeaStorm the conventional way.

dell inspirion hard drive removal.
Mar 29, 2013
3 Votes
Status: Acknowledged
i own an inspirion 14/14z, and i must say, it is impossible to access the hard drive without taking the laptop completely apart. not only is this highly unusual, but it also not a smart idea. i risk voiding my warranty just to replace a HDD? thats insane! i have never before seen laptop that had a hard drive inaccessable from the bottom. maybe back in the 80s or 902(before my time), but as of 2013?! this type of thing quite frankly, is unacceptable. people risk breaking thier laptops just to switch out an HDD. not cool dell. i love dell and alienware, i expect better honestly.dell needs to make it known on the webpages of these laptops, that the hard drive is not removeable from the bottom. this is a deal breaker for me. had i known this was the case, i would have NEVER bought this laptop. the alienware m14(which i also own), is much easier to take out the hard drive than the 14r.suppose what do i do if i have to back up this hard drive now? or replace it if it dies? dell should do an external HDD promo for people who buy this model, because it would be eaiser to back up the drive from time to time rather than replace it.

BEWARE IF ORDERING SSD BOOT DRIVEI just ordered a brand new M14x from Dell with 750gb HDD and the 128gb SSD Boot drive option (which adds about £300) with the top i7 processor etc etc, in total spending £1,950 on the system. When the machine arrived the operating system was installed on the 750gb HDD as the boot drive (not the specified SSD), I queried this with Dell as it was clearly not what I ordered (including asking if I ordered another one if I would get the same problem - as they were refunding and picking up the current machine) only to get the following response..."Our manufacturing team is currently investigating this internally and has not advised the concrete details on the issue with the configuration. We wouldn’t be able to advise at the moment whether the machine you would be placing, if the OS would be installed on the SSD drive or on the standard HDD."When I asked if the offered 'next day in-home' support or any of their engineers could fix this or just swap the operating system on to the correct drive they simply ignored me, they have arranged for my currently laptop to be picked up and refunded (which is all well and good), but it would appear Dell cannot build the 'SSD Boot drive' option as advertised on their site.They seem pretty happy to just refund the money and have the system returned which would suggest they simply can't build that option... it would appear they don't need my £2k or business.So if you're thinking of getting the SSD boot drive option I would suggest going else where or learning to do it yourself if you are going to order from Dell.
