new perspective

New Product Ideas submitted by kth_eckert 2 days ago

My girlfriend and I were sharing the sofa watching a movie. Our heads were propped up on pillows, at best 30 degrees. The thought came to me that photo programs allow you to rotate the picture 90 degrees, So why cant you rotate your television picture in the same manner. For people who are bed ridden or as in my case sofa sharing this could make for a more comfortable movie watching experience. 2 Comments »

Plug and Play WiFi Repeater for laptops

submitted by badblood 2 days ago

I'd like a small USB plug and play repeater and clip on antenna for my laptop. Something to boost the internal antenna quite a lot for when you want to sit in the pool and use the computer, etc... But make it small, not like the whacking great things currently on the market - something to clip to the screen.

Thanks 2 Comments »

Dell Ultrasharp monitors

Gaming, Monitors and Displays submitted by gamer128 Yesterday

Could Dell make a monitor, that is specifically designed for gaming? And support consoles? And isn't very expensive? Because most HDTV's don't have very sharp quality, and those that do, are very expensive. 2 Comments »

Have all options for all configs

submitted by mathew_rankin Yesterday

I've notice if you chose a system starting at $999 you get different options then the one at $1499. You may get a larger HD such as 320GB on $999 but for the 1499 the option starts at 320 goes up to 640GB Why? If someone wants to get a lower end graphics card at 999 but get a huge HD they should be able to do so....

Offer all options on all configs.... Comment »

Buy a laptop, get free ipod SHOULD = buy a laptop, get free ZUNE

Advertising and Marketing submitted by chylag123 Yesterday

Dell could do more to target the college market. Apple is offering a promotion until September where ANY purchase of an apple laptop includes a FREE 8 GB IPOD touch for students. (www.apple.com for verification) I am attracted to the Studio series, and am impressed with the many improvements comparable with from the ibook pro (for example, backlit keyboards). However, a free IPOD touch blows Dell out of the water on comparable notebooks.

Also, Apple's student discount is ten times that of what Dell offers ($17 off at 10% of purchasing price from Dell vs. $182 off the least expensive systems listed at $999 from Apple.)

Dell is making it clear it doesn’t value it's collegiate business. As a repeat Dell customer, this is very disappointing. Please reconsider. 7 Comments »

Allow your customers to change the colour of the laptop lid

Laptops submitted by programatix Yesterday

I'm seeing that more and more colours are offered by Dell (after I purchased my laptop) and it really hurt seeing the colour I wanted so much finally being offered but is out of my reach.

It would be great if Dell allows customers to change the colour of the laptop lid (maybe with a small price) after the system is purchased. 13 Comments »

bluetooth wirelessand keyless keboard and mouse

Accessories (Keyboards, etc.) submitted by lockhartsam 3 days ago

Well my idea is a bluetooth wireless and keyless keyboard and mouse. simular to the mouse pad that are on laptops. the keybard itself is a flex pad that is touch sensitive and is attached on bothsides to some sort of unit that is compact and the pad rolls up into. the mouse pad is also on the same pad and u control it by moving your finger around in the area.
Instead of keys on the pad is the standard keyboard layout lit up in a blue neon light and when the letter or symbol is pressed the light would dim and the selected symbol or letter would be inputed on to the screen. because of the compact size and the fact it rolls up in to the unit it could be used by individuals on the move with laptops or in the home with desktops. it would charge and get power like most standard bluetooth devices and would have a usb bluetooth adapter for those computers without buletooth built in. 4 Comments »

De-segregate Laptops

submitted by penguinsa 2 days ago

In my searches of laptops, under "Home & Home Office", I couldn't find any 15.4 inch WUXGA (1920x1200) machines. I foolishly concluded they didn't exist-

BUT THEY DO. They're segregated under "Small Business" but they exist- The Latitude D830, The Vostro 1510...

WHY? If I'm looking for a 15.4" laptop, why is a WUXGA "good enough" for Small Business, but "not good enough" for home users?
When I do a search on 15.4" screens- one of YOUR default Web searches- why are the Business machines excluded?

Are the Home Users simply expected to "Get to the back of the bus" ? How do you justify the segregatiion ? 5 Comments »

When you ask for suggestions try responding to them

Dell Community, Dell Web Site, IdeaStorm submitted by jervis961 3 days ago

This Idea is 2 fold.

First you created a website for customers to submit ideas and hardy ever give feedback. There are currently 14 ideas on the front page that haven't been tagged yet. Dell tells us that you talk about these top ideas 1 - 2 times a week. How hard is it to tag an idea after you talk about it?

Second you post an article on Direct 2 Dell about the new Dell home page and ask for suggestions. I posted a reply yesterday afternoon with links to several Ideas I had posted over the last year on the topic. Not only did I never get a response on any of them on IdeaStorm but they get ignored on Direct 2 Dell as well.

Computer operated chess board

Gaming, New Product Ideas submitted by youngexzec08 3 days ago

It's a computer operated chess board. which is controlled by a wireless keypad made just the game of chess. it's a system that u can hook up to your desktop and you and your opponet can sit across from one another and control their pieces through the keyboard. For example instead of moving the knight with your hands you can press k3 so that the knight will move to the space on the board. and you can also play the game online. for example same rules apply and the pieces will move on both of the computerized chess boards... a gaming experience that will have millions of chess players very happy. and excited to play. 6 Comments »

Fedora 9 on select Dell laptops and Desktops

Dell, Linux, Operating Systems, Desktops and Laptops submitted by s33nagain 3 days ago

Linux on the Dell laptops Have been amazing, so very nice. But your Linux videos completely enstate that Dell is all about choice. And, well, some users like Fedora more than Ubuntu. It doesn't have to be known this way, but some Linux Veterans lke Fedora more. And Ubuntu is more of a beginning Linux OS. I'm not saying that people who are long-time Linux user souldn't use Ubuntu.

I'm saying that some perfer a different "cup of tea" or, in Ubuntu's case, "cup o' coffee". And that's what dell is about.

In addition to the already distributed Dell computers that serve FreeDOS, and Ubuntu, we should add Fedora on select desktops and laptops. 1 Comment »

Media Center PC

XPS products submitted by fasdrr 3 days ago

I currently have an XPS 720 and use it as the Media Center PC for my Home Theater setup. The PC works great with Vista Ultimate and the disk storage is good but it really isn't very eye appealing in my home theater rack. Several other companies have competing products that do look Stereo receivers and factor in lower noise levels for when you are watching movies or TV programs. It would be great if Dell had a product in the XPS line like this. It should also support the integrated Cable Card option and HDMI connectiivity so I can eliminate my cable box. 3 Comments »

Downloads/Drivers - Option to Sort by Date

Dell Web Site, Service and Support submitted by alfredska Jul 2

When using the support website to download updated drivers and applications for our Dell computers, we are only offered alphabetical sorting by category, then product description. It is time consuming to browse all of the categories. Implement a "Sort by date" option, so we can quickly see if one of our devices has received attention recently. Comment »
