I have a Dimension and it has a lot of pop ups. This is very annoying. The computer would function much more easily with less popups. 5 Comments » Laptops, Laptop Power submitted by badblood 05/20/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
MagSafe power connectors, by Apple, are magnetic power connectors that pull out harmlessly when the cord is tripped upon. Environment submitted by falbert May 22
In the last shipment of computers I received I was shocked by the amount of plastic wrap used for items like power cords, USB cables, VGA/DVI cables. Do these items really need to be individually wrapped in a plastic bag. I can just imagine the tons of plastic used by Dell annually... Standardize Power Cables for Laptops Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by badblood 08/27/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
Nothing is more annoying than laptop power cables that are not interchangeable from one computer model to another or from one brand of computer to another. Power cables have been standardized on most electrical applicances, including desktop computers for decades. Accessories (Keyboards, etc.) submitted by badblood Jun 3 **ALREADY OFFERED**
Look down at your keyboard. Have a real close look. Get your face right close. You know how filthy that thing is? Monitors and Displays, Laptop Power submitted by yardsale Jan 16 I dont know why dell hasnt done this yet. switch all monitors on desktops and notebooks to LED. did you know that you can run an LED screen at full brightniess and it uses less power than a LCD monitor at the lowest brighting level?!? its cheaper, its energy efficent, and it needs to be done! promote this, if you demote i wanna know why! 63 Comments » All versions of Windows Vista on Dell computers Latitude products, Operating Systems submitted by nick_inspironvista 02/17/07
I would love to buy a Dell Latitude D620 with Home Premium. For the Latitude's superb build quality, instead i have to buy a Inspiron. Why cant Dell have the choice of: Better LCD Resolution for Inspiron 1525 Inspiron products, Monitors and Displays submitted by taumax Jan 4
Why is the Inspiron 1525 only available with a 1280x800 LCD monitor? Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by cjbarth Jan 4
While touchpads are certainly easier for some people to work with, nothing compares to the speed and accuracy of an eraser head mouse on a notebook, especially while working in a car or in other unfavorable conditions. Please make the eraser head mouse either optional or standard on all notebooks. I shouldn't have to get a business line notebook to benefit from this really simple feature. There should be an option of having no trialware on all computers Software submitted by jervis961 08/23/07 **REVIEWED**
Here is a news article about trialware and how Dell feels that regular customers want it but small business ones do. Do they not look at the ideas here? Easier way to OPT OUT of Dell selling my private information Advertising and Marketing submitted by ninefoot3 10/17/07 **IN PROGRESS**
I rec'd a brochure yesterday saying Dell and DFS were going to share my private info with other 3rd party companies for marketing purposes. Well, it said that in about 5,000 words or so. At the end is a box stating that I may opt-out of this by calling the number listed or writing a letter (including certain info) and send it to the listed address. Offer higher contrast and brighter screens Monitors and Displays, Laptops submitted by urackon 07/13/07
The contrast ratio for most dell notebooks is around 300: 1 and it has been so for a while. I know Sony has notebooks with 5000:1(yes 3 zeros) contrast ratio. I don't know if the M1330's LED based screen has better contrast although I would assume it does. As you guys are well aware Notebooks are getting more and more multimedia oriented so better screens are more important(particularly ones with better black levels as that is more important in most cases than resolution). Matte (NOT TrueLife) Display on XPS m1330 Monitors and Displays, XPS products submitted by mw 06/27/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
The XPS m1330 seems to be the perfect machine, aside from a few imperfections (no Gigabit Ethernet, for example). However, there is one feature that is an absolute dealbreaker for me--the glossy TrueLife screen. I remember the day before the shiny screens, and what a beautiful day that was. Bring back Matte desktop case finishes Desktops submitted by dave-2 10/16/07
To my surprise, the Vostro 400 I recently purchased arrived with a glossy black paint job on the case, complete with plastic tear-off sheets for protection. While some people might want computers that look like sports cars, I prefer my appliances to be low maintenance. The glossy paint is horrible in showing fingerprints, footprints :-), and all other evidence that the machine is actually being used. Hybrid Hard Drives for Inspiron Notebooks. Inspiron products, Servers and Storage submitted by class2008 10/20/07 Offer Hybrid Hard Drives for Inspiron Notebooks. They are currently offered for 3 Latitude models (D630, D830 and D531). Why not offer them on Inspiron notebooks? 5 Comments » Stop Overcharging on Notebook RAM Sales Strategies, Laptops submitted by realskript 08/28/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
Dell really... REALLY need to stop overcharging... and when i say overcharing... i mean atleast double what you would pay to pick up the ram yourself. Monitors and Displays submitted by doomlord52 07/04/07
OLEDs are much more effieient, brighter, offer higher contrast ratio's AND are much smaller. for example, SONY is currently developing a 27" HD TV with OLED technology. It has a contrast ratio of 1 million to 1, and has a response time of 0.01 MILLISECONDS. Samsung is making an 80" HD TV that is less than 2cm thick. There IS a computer monitor 19" thats only 2.1mm thick. With that kind of tech, you could make a laptop a lot thinner. OLEDs are also much more energy efficient efficient, and can save up to 30% more energy than an LCD of the same size. You can also BEND OLED monitors, because the screen is like a film.

There are many posts regarding the fact that TrueLife displays are far too reflective for brightly backlit conditions. User responses to the complaints suggest getting a business class display with anti-glare filter - but these displays have not kept pace, are too dim, have poor pixel response rates and often have poor color rendition. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-reflective_coatingI'm sure that Seiko, Hoya, Essilor, iCoat and others would vie for the chance to open up a new market for their coatings, and thus bring more profits to them (and lower costs to us). Some IdeaStorm members might be concerned about scratching the coating - but consider: 1. LCD panels are already prone to scratching, and care must be taken in their cleaning. 2. Modern Anti-Reflective (AR) coatings, with their multiple layers, are far more resistant to scratching than they used to be. 3. AR coatings tend to repel dust, so the need for cleaning would be less frequent. 4. With the use of a microfiber cloth (and mild liquid cleaning formulations when needed), the AR coating and display will remain pristine for many years of service. If you would like to see modern Anti-Reflective coatings applied to TrueLife displays (as an optional upgrade) please promote this post. 6 Comments »  track my votes
