Smaller rubber feet that don't fall off By jtrpop,  Jul 2, 2007

The rubber feet on my Inspiron are big and get snagged when slipping into my computer bag. One has already fallen off. Make them slimmer and less prone to falling off.

@jorge: There's an older Idea that Dell send extra rubber feet to people who ask for them. I think you voted for it. It is quite funny going into a business meeting and all the people with Dell's have wobbly 3-legged laptops.

This issue obviously lacks traction here.

Pressure sensitive adhesive not specified to endure expected temperatures equals bad design implementation.

$1.99 per rubber foot plus s&h equals replacement parts priced to meet the high demand created by their bad design, and to cover associated Dell overheads.  These revenues are proudly tracked by someone inside there somewhere.

The problem's longevity encourages one to question Dell's touted commitment to quality manufacturing and service response.

Dell Corporate should be embarassed by the shameful neglect it demonstrates.

All:

Our currently shipping Dell Laptops offer a more up to date design on the "rubber feet" which should reduce the chance of snagging and falling off.
