Now You Choose – Concept 1

Gaming, XPS products submitted by dell_admin1 04/25/07


Participate in the product design process! Dell is using IdeaStorm to decide between two new product design concepts. Vote on your favorite and weigh in to tell us what you think.



When we unveiled the XPS 710 H2C at CES this year, we also uncovered it. There were a limited number of systems sprinkled throughout the show floor that had a clear side panel allowing easy viewing of the patent-pending two-stage H2C liquid cooling system.



Since then, more than a few people have suggested we offer a “panel with a view” as an option for our XPS 710 line. Now we need you to vote for one of these two options and, most importantly, share some reasons why you like it.




This “Now You Choose” vote campaign will be open from Wednesday, April 25 to Friday, May 11. The design that gets the most votes will be featured in a future generation of XPS gaming desktops.

Dell & Vista pushed me to buy a Mac

Operating Systems, Service and Support submitted by dsfdecker 04/20/07

I've been a "Dell only" customer for at least 10 years both at home and at work. I wanted a 12" laptop, but didn't like the Latitude D412 because of the external CD drive. When the XPS 1210 came out, I was interested. When I was finally ready to purchase the XPS 1210, Windows Vista had been released about 3 weeks earlier. Since all the reviews about Vista I'd seen were only mediocre at best, I was really surprised to find that Dell wouldn't offer the 1210 with XP. I waited another few weeks, tried again, same answer. I was told I could buy the computer, uninstall Vista, purchase XP and install it. Are you kidding me? Give me a break. I began to look at other laptops. Just for the fun of it, I looked at the Mac Book and found that I would get a LOT more computer for a surprisingly less price than the XPS 1210. And I don't have to use Vista. Until now, I've had a really great experience with Dell computers, but I'm saving about $1,500 buying a more powerful MacBook than the XPS 1210. I'll let you know how it all works out. Dell -- learn from this mistake!!! 8 Comments »

This would allow more adequate gaming for users who choose a 15.4" notebook as a gaming platform. 11 Comments »

More RAM!

Desktops and Laptops submitted by mwmtjm 01/30/07 **UNDER REVIEW**

Do away with 512MB of memory as a base option to buy consumer desktops and notebooks. With Vista running best on 1GB at a minimum, don't make customers have a basic experience with the new OS because Dell wants to be able to advertise at a lower price point. The success of Vista -- and subsequently for Dell -- will be largely in word of mouth. Take a long-term view and build the momentum one great customer experience at a time right now!

No OS Preloaded

Linux, Operating Systems, Sales Strategies submitted by agreer 02/17/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**

I have a XP Pro retail copy, will soon buy retail vista, I also like Linux: Make WINDOWS-FREE, and OS-Free an option for more than just expensive business lines.


Dell has systems available that do not have an OS pre-loaded called N-Series line. You can check them out at www.dell.com/nseries.

No Extra Software Option

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.


Check out jeremy_f's update on our current software options.
