Heat rises! Get the exhaust ports off the bottom of the laptops where it just blows back up into the machine. Put them out the side or the top and everything including processors, drives, batteries and the cooling systems themselves will run cooler and more efficiently. I already burned out one mother board, which thankfully was replaced under extended warrantee. I am so protective now that I never use my laptop without a supplemental cooling pad underneath, which blows the air out the sides. Unless this changes I would think twice about buying another or recommending a Dell laptop to anyone else without advising them of the problem. Better Notebook sound and features Laptops submitted by foxx 02/17/07
I was looking for a high end notebook for video editing. Every Dell model I looked at was missing something essential. Gorgeous, beautiful eye-popping design Desktops and Laptops submitted by foobar 02/18/07
Dell needs to aggressively move away from being perceived as cheap and boring. Corrall all the confusing sub-brands into a cohesive approach that shows us a new, fresh approach to design. There is no reason on Earth why Dell has to have worse design than SONY or Apple. Indeed with your new hires, this needs to be the target. There needs to be a "Dell look" that is not "gray, dull, box" Better paint finish quality on notebooks Inspiron products submitted by scotsman 02/17/07 I wish the Inspiron series notebooks had a better quality paint finish. The silver paint wears through on the palmrest within a few months if the notebook is used a lot...this has happened on both my 9300 and 9400. 1 Comment » More Graphic Card Options for 15.4 Laptops Monitors and Displays, Laptops submitted by bkmaxey 02/18/07 I would like to see more powerful graphic card options in the 15.4" consumer laptops (E1505/6400). At the moment, it tops out at an X1400, I would like to see the 7900GS offered. Comment » Transreflective LCDs for Laptops Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by theimpostor 02/19/07
Dell should consider introducing trans-reflective LCDs to its laptops. These screens allow the use of LCD screens in conditions with bright ambient light conditions such as outdoors in direct sunlight. In these conditions the backlight is not required further reducing battery consumption. Such screens are available but only a few specialist laptop manufacturers use them. If Dell were to adopt such technology they would become more economical to produce and cause a significant step forward in laptop display development. Latitude products submitted by kannan_r 02/14/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**
The Latitude 620 is pretty powerful when it comes to performance. However there are a coupld of things i miss when i compare it with an IBM TP. Dedicated Graphics Option for e1405 Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Inspiron products, Sales Strategies submitted by gautam 02/17/07 Bring back a dedicated graphics option for the e1405/640m series 14.1" notebook. 8 Comments » Improve Inspiron Laptop Design. Inspiron products submitted by arry 02/17/07
The look of inpsiron is pathetic. The white border around the laptop looks very ugly. Please do cosmetic changes in Inspiron design to make it look better. XPS products, Laptops submitted by lilredfoxie 02/16/07 **IMPLEMENTED**
I think theyre needs to be another 15.4" size XPS system, currently the XPS lineup has no middle ground, theres either the m1210 which is too small, or the m1710 which is too large ( I dont count the m2010, since its not really a laptop, its more of its own hybrid desktop/laptop comptuer thing) use the e1505 chassis, give it the cool XPS lights, and a D-dock connectior below Would be Nice to Get the New Hybrid Hard Drives As Soon As Possible Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Desktops and Laptops submitted by guest_houston 02/17/07
Sometime this year some hard disk makers are to release "hybrid hard drive" technology, which is supported by the new Windows Vista. A Dell Laptop I can use on my lap! (without being burned) Laptops submitted by oldsalerogls 02/17/07
I proudly own a 2 year old dell laptop 600m- but it's got heat issues.. who can use their Laptop for 20 minutes before then Laptop begins to get more than warm..and your going to get possibly burned. Notebooks - better quality, better options, better design Sales Strategies submitted by dspector 02/17/07
I have been in the market for a laptop for almost 6 months now. I have avoided buying one as I havent found one that actually fit my needs perfectly. Desktops and Laptops submitted by shanx24 02/17/07 If Dell wants to regain relevance with its target audience, it should seriously hire a couple of leading designers and make machines that don't look like poor man's tin clunkers. Yes, even that 'luxury' line of machines you've started look hideous. Take inspiration from Vaio SZ or the small full-black Fujitsu or just about anything from Apple. I used to be an avid Dell evangelist for nearly 5 years, until it became to make less and less sense to me (even your 'international support' was useless. It does NOT work). 3 Comments » Lighter laptops - some suggestions Laptops submitted by amri64 02/17/07 **IMPLEMENTED**
Would like to see more laptops below 2kg (4.4lbs). Use only the best and brightest LCDs for all laptops! No sub-par manufacturers need apply! Laptops submitted by astudios 02/17/07
From what I understand, today's Dell LCDs on laptops are made by Toshiba, LG, Samsung, etc.. why make it an anticipating "waiting game" for the customer to see which quality of LCD they get when their laptop comes in? The LCD display is THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT part of any laptop. Dell.. please, use ONLY the best and brightest LCDs on all of your laptops. Notebook Shells Are Plastic - Offer Metal Casings Too Laptops submitted by googideas 02/17/07
Notebooks get carried everywhere. Shouldn't Dell offer an aluminum or otherwise metal casing/construction as an option? Sales Strategies, Software, Laptops submitted by kman79 02/16/07 **REVIEWED**
Dell probably does build one of the best performing notebooks that one could order, well at least you could make it to be one of the best performing notebooks, but they lack in style. Of course the priority of having the notebook is having good performance, but having a stylish exterior adds value and want for the notebook/laptop. The white and gray casing gets old, and needs updating. I like the simple yet stylish look of the M1210, the rest of the line should be updated. Maybe it's just me, but the rest of the XPS line of laptops need to be toned down, it just looks to kidish and has too many things going on with it. Design a better looking notebook with the current hardware performance you have available right now, and you can guarantee it will sell better. The design does not have to be complex, but anything is better than white and gray plastic exterior you currently use. Get ideas from Apple, Asus, Sony, Toshiba and even HP. Give the exterior look of the notebook some curves......maybe evem a glossy finish, and a little texture. People spend thousands of dollars on their Dell Notebooks, at least make them feel better by making the notebooks look like it's worth the money spent on them. Give the notebook some attitude, a personality and a soul and not just a piece of plastic with a keyboard and a screen. Silent / Quiet Computers: Sound levels in decibels Desktops and Laptops submitted by pchris 02/17/07 **REVIEWED**
I'd like Dell to provide the sound level in decibels for each of their desktops, under max load as well as at idle.  track my votes
