How IdeaStorm Works:
Operating Systems submitted by icantseeyou 02/21/07 **IMPLEMENTED**
From all of the press I have read it is plain that Vista is a big bomb. To buy the cheapest version I hear it isn't even as good as XP SP2. At the same time you need at least 4 Gig to run it. Offer other options... I don't care if it's Linux, XP, or a rat running on a wheel. Don't make us buy Vista. Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by drl 04/20/07 The laptops need 7200rpm hard drive options. After my 5400rpm OEM HD failed I replaced with it with a current model 7200rpm drive. It used .5 watt less power than the OEM and noticeably added some snap and pop to the feel of the machine. My use is business and the laptop gets flogged all the time. 3 Comments » Monitors and Displays, Laptops submitted by macomaciak Jul 24
Currently there is no way to get a small factor laptop (13inch or 12 inch) with higher display resolution than 1280x800. this is valid not only for Dell. Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by daewootech Jul 28
I think like a internal storage tray would be cool, like something to the sides of the touchpad that you could pop up and stuck things like money or a usb key other small items, also could be a nice hidden spot for internal connections like a micro usb reciever for the logitech mice or other small usb devices so you can have they plugged in all the time and not worry about breaking the usb port or key. Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by daewootech Jul 28
I would love the ides of having a set of either wireless earbuds or bluetooth headsets for combination music, phone, video conference etc.. use on my laptop.

64 Bit Vista and more than 4 GB RAM Desktops, XPS products submitted by dellrox Jul 24
HP has the option for 64 bit Vista and 32 bit Vista, why not Dell? Also, put the option in to XPS 620 desktops for more than 4GB RAM. You do this for Dell Precision Workstations, why not Home Gaming Desktops. Non-Glare High Resolution LED Displays Monitors and Displays, XPS products, Vostro products submitted by anonym Jul 18
Please stop the glossy display nonsence and provide a non-glare display options for all models. If possible with LED backlight, because it is brighter, thinner and less power consuming. I like the XPS M1330 very much, but the glossy display is a real show stopper... 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. Quit forcing McAfee subscriptions Software, Laptops submitted by kyliemanders Jul 26 I bought a 15" Studio laptop and was unable to order WITHOUT the McAfee $79 per year four year subscription. The first thing I do is uninstall. I would prefer to use Windows Defender. 6 Comments » 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... 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 » 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. 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? 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. Put Ubuntu on the list of operating systems when building a PC! Linux, Sales Strategies, Desktops and Laptops submitted by samb0057 08/10/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
Ubuntu is hidden in a dark corner of the website. I work in IT support, and I have a client who was having virus problems a little while ago. I fixed the problem by installing Ubuntu on their PC. Very recently they called me asking for advice on a new computer, I told them about your new offer providing Ubuntu pre-installed on PCs and they wanted to purchase, but could not find the section on your site (this person is a very basic user, doesn't know what open-source means, probably didn't even see the open source link). There is no way they would have found your Ubuntu section on their own. 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. 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. Offer tablets with capacitive multi-touch and a publicly available API. Latitude products, Monitors and Displays submitted by mlazarov Mar 26
I realize that the Latitude XT already has a capacitive touch screen which I have heard is dramatically better than resistive screens. I would like to see Dell leverage this capacitive touch technology to offer tablet PCs with capacitive multi-touch screen. Give costumers a reason why Dell recommends what it does Dell Web Site, Sales Strategies submitted by sakuramboo 07/08/07 I would like to see exactly WHY Dell tells me that it recommends one option over another. Why does Dell recommend 1 Gig of ram over 2 Gigs or 512 Megs of RAM, for example? Show us comparisons with in depth analysis as to why I should go with one set of options over another. 4 Comments »  track my votes
