How IdeaStorm Works:

I suggest that Dell design and sell a true mini-sized desktop CPU. Properly warn consumers about ~3GB Max useable RAM limit with Vista 32bit Advertising and Marketing, Operating Systems submitted by benjesuit 06/18/07
Only Vista 64 bit can use 4GB of ram or higher. Vista 32bit (such as the recommended Home premium), like XP (32bit) will only report a max of ~3.1GB. Software submitted by ootleman 02/16/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**
Would love the ability to have a clean Vista install. No AOL software, no earthlink software, no google software - just a clean, original OS. Have Firefox pre-installed as default browser Software submitted by robinjfisher 02/19/07 **REVIEWED**
Does what it says on the tin! Most people only use IE because they aren't aware of other browsers - they think Internet Explorer is the Internet! What would really drive take up of alternative browsers is if Firefox was pre-installed as the default browser so that when people look for the "Internet" in Windows, they are using FF.

Give us the option of Unassembled Computers Sales Strategies submitted by badblood 06/18/07 Send us all the parts in a big box, all nice and numbered and coded, and we will put it together ourselves...oh, and at a discount, on account of the saved labor time and all that... 15 Comments » New Product Ideas submitted by jer_k 06/19/07
Dell needs to create its own iTV, Make it work with any portable media player (iPod, Zen, etc.) Stop reccommending Microsoft Windows Vista Advertising and Marketing, Operating Systems submitted by arigali 06/19/07
Windows Vista is a problem for computers. It does not improve user experience but degrade it. Maybe after its first service pack it (or second, or third) would turn into a good operating system. But now, Vista is closer to Windows Millenium than XP in terms of stability and user experience. Dell is compromising its name by promoting and reccommending that OS. Make a website for disgruntled Dell customers Dell Community, Service and Support submitted by somdeb 06/19/07
Think about it... there are literally thousands of disgruntled Dell customers out there (counting myself). A huge majority of them do not have an outlet to express just how bad an experience it was to deal with Dell customer support, tech support, sales etc. Even this Dell IdeaStorm website is really geared towards new product ideas, not towards listening to the consumer's issues with specific experiences they have had with Dell. more 14in and smaller notebooks Laptops submitted by jason701802 06/19/07 dell just dropped their Inspiron e1405/640m line. please give us more 14in, 13in, and 12in notebooks for people on the go Comment » Ship ALL Emulators on Every New DELL Sales Strategies, Software submitted by reg 06/19/07 WOW - there is a lot of free software out there, from far back in the 8-bit world of Atari / Commodore / ZX80 / Spectrum / T.I. to various games for every game console ever released. Free emulators exist for all those programs, so include those programs on new DELLs under C:\OTHER. Then people can run not only Windows software, but run fun and useful programs from the past 30 years of computing too! 2 Comments » Undroppable Notebook Computers New Product Ideas, Laptops submitted by reg 06/20/07
Dell should work with some Physicists to develop Undroppable Notebook Computers. When you let go, they fall toward the Earth, but are stopped from hitting the floor. Every person who thinks of the powers of magnets and gravity realizes that Humans have a poor understanding of some of the most basic forces in the Universe.

They do it on Graphic Cards, so why not Computers. Dell remove all Browsers from any OS you offer. Operating Systems, Software submitted by jorge 06/20/07
Dell no one wants bloatware as can be seen by the plethora of Ideas and votes against bloatware. One which has been left off the list previously is Browsers! Remove all browsers from any OS you offer, its removal also prevents any additional add-on from working so kills two with one un-install. While you're at it get rid of that pesky calculator! Its eating up my disk space. Inspiron products submitted by omnyx 06/20/07
DELL please bring back 14" laptops!! A Novel Strategy - Don't Lie to Consumers Dell Web Site, Sales Strategies submitted by jwsamuel 06/21/07
Posting bogus credit offers on your Web site to entice buyers to purchase Dell products is nothing more than lying and is the reason I will never buy a Dell product again. My wife and I bought a Dell desktop PC and were very happy with it, so when it came time to get a notebook PC, we went right to Dell. We used Dell's 0% financing offer to buy the desktop and the same offer was plastered on every page of the Web site when we ordered the notebook -- including the page with the notebook we purchased. Linux, Sales Strategies submitted by lonelovetenerife 06/21/07
The Inquirer says: "WHILE DELL MAY have made some moves towards Ubuntu Linux, it is refusing to allow its business customers to buy it." Keep an up-to-date page on the evolving terms in various Windows licenses. Dell Web Site, Operating Systems submitted by jmxz 06/21/07
Yet another article trying to help people understand the various
I can't keep up with these license restrictions, and reading EULAs is practically a hobby of mine. Dell has it's customers paying for these licenses without ever explaining them to customers or (as far as I can tell) even letting customers see the licenses before buying them. When and if Microsoft does make these EULA changes, it'd be nice if there's a well-known place on the Dell website where customers can see the difference, and see that their Vista Premium has better or worse terms than someone else's Vista Premium that may have been bought earlier. Also interesting is that Microsoft calls the restriction against Virtualization on Vista Premium a security feature -- which apparently Vista Ultimate is lacking --- so Dell might want to point out to their customers that apparently Microsoft sees Ultimate as being less secure than Premium (if I read the linked article right). 2 Comments » Gaming submitted by blmyers 06/21/07
A virtual reality helmet that enabled users to walk through a real or imagined environment would make exercise much more fun, especially for women who must exercise indoors more than men. If the "game" responded to speed of walking on a treadmill, for example, or used a floor mat to track foot steps, the user could be doing anything from walking on the moon to whacking moles-- or unfavorite people! Personally, I would love to run among the stars and planets-- and maybe dodge meteors and asteroids. One could even dodge alien attackers. With sedentary-linked diseases on the rise, Dell could probably get grant funding for the development. Create a 13.3" Ultraportable (Perfect) Latitude Notebook Latitude products, Monitors and Displays submitted by mcfazeli 06/21/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**
Latitude notebooks are arguably the best you make, packing a lot of processing power while being a discrete business machine that is rugged and has a tough chasis that can withstand lots of travel.  track my votes
