How IdeaStorm Works:
coreboot (formerly LinuxBIOS) instead of proprietary BIOS Linux, Desktops and Laptops submitted by yesmathew 02/20/07
coreboot (formerly known as LinuxBIOS) is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS (firmware) you can find in most of today's computers. Upgradable graphics in the m1530!!! (no more soldered cards) Gaming, XPS products submitted by theideasman Mar 4 Im sick of my laptop graphics getting old and then finding that i need to buy an all new system. Cant the xps come with modular cards (mxm) that can be upgraded direct from dell if the consumer requests a graphics upgrade. Of course there will be a cost involved but surely it will be better than having to buy an entire new system! 4 Comments » Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Service and Support submitted by jkuper Apr 9 Dell needs to bring back the laminated Windows Product Key Tags. They've gone away from them and it's not working out at all. We have a a number of Optiplex 745 pc's at the office with the new non laminated style that are already starting to lose their product key stickers after just 6 months. The old laminated style was much much better. Thank you. 2 Comments » Give the same discounts to open source models as Windows models Linux, Operating Systems, Sales Strategies submitted by bashveank Mar 31 Why are there constantly sales on Windows machines but never any sales on the identical open source machines? 5 Comments » Higher quality lcd screens for XPS M1530 Monitors and Displays, XPS products submitted by marcusesq Jan 13
My brothers XPS M1530 arrived today fitted with a WSXGA+ screen and its horrible and grainy. I didn't get a chance to see weather its fitted with the Samsung or LG screen. Dump the static service call SCRIPTS! Service and Support submitted by phubert Apr 1
All I needed was a simple 1U server POWER SUPPLY to replace the one that failed. Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Desktops submitted by jshereshewsky Apr 9 I have a number of devices connected to my desktop via USB cords; web cam, mike, back-up discs, PDA, printer(s), etc. etc. Although my current DELL desktop has two USB ports on the front, most are from the rear, which is an area that is difficult to access. Can't you build a desktop machine with an expandable number of USB ports (powered) that connect from the front of the machine? 7 Comments » Proper/decent Bios for flagship XPS 720 desktop (e.g. A06) Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Desktops, XPS products submitted by huggy_bear Mar 19
Plz provide a proper/decent Bios to the XPS 720. Intels 45nm processors are power savers Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Desktops submitted by bundy88 Apr 9 Dell should start offering choices for Intels 45nm processors in all desktops due to the fact that they save on power and are as fast or even faster then the standard 65nm processors. Check out this website for extra info. http://www.intel.com/technology/architecture-silicon/45nm-core2/ Comment » Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Desktops, Linux submitted by pawprintz 02/17/07 **REVIEWED**
How about a fast, Internet ready Linux desktop. Small form factor, pretty monitor, mouse & keyboard, the O.S., OpenOffice & Firefox. Cheap'n'fast Explaine why Dell recommends Windows Vista® ? Dell Web Site, Education, Operating Systems submitted by yesmathew Mar 12
I saw many idea related to "Dell recommends Windows". Here is one more. Based on Home user or Business user, Dell website recommends either Vista® Home Premium or Vista® Business. Explain why? Make it easier to get new batteries Accessories (Keyboards, etc.) submitted by paranoid Mar 20 Seriously, please make it easier to find/get new laptop batteries. This should be like buying printer toner. 8 Comments » Pre-Installed Linux | Ubuntu | Fedora | OpenSUSE | Multi-Boot Linux, Operating Systems - Multiboot, Sales Strategies, Desktops and Laptops submitted by dhart 02/16/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**
Dell needs to develop a backup strategy to the risk Microsoft poses to the industry Dell submitted by phubert Apr 10
Gartner: Windows collapsing under its own weight; Radical change needed Dell Web Site, Latitude products submitted by gsulfaro Apr 7
I have noticed that the Video Card Drivers for the Intel X3100 Graphics Driver that ships on the Latitude D630 has not been updated since the 30/5/2007. Higher Ranged Power Supplies For All Systems Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Desktops and Laptops submitted by bundy88 Apr 11 Lets face it todays computers require much more juice then they used to, which is why standard power supplies just aren't cutting it anymore. From running better graphics and faster memory to top notch motherboards they all require more power consumption in order to run smooth. This is why I feel the new standard of power supplies should be at least a 550 watt or higher in all systems depending on the consumers requirements. 9 Comments » Start Warranty periods when the system is received, not shipped! Service and Support submitted by markj2k Jan 31
I have purchased several Dell systems over the last month or so for myself, and some consulting clients. I've noticed in each case that the warranty start date is the day the PC shipped, not the day the PC was received by the purchaser. This needs to be changed. The order status page changes to show when the system was delivered, so Dell knows when the delivery date is. That is the day the warranty should start. Provide Linux Drivers for all your Hardware Linux submitted by gergnz 02/19/07 **IN PROGRESS**
I don't care whether the OS is pre-installed or not, I want all the hardware to be totally supported in the Linux kernel without in mucking around. I currently have a Dell M1210 and I wish the modem would work, just in case I need it. The web cam would work, just in case I need it. At least the Intel wireless card is totally supported. Thanks Intel!! Use better LCD panels in laptops. Monitors and Displays, Laptops submitted by mlazarov Feb 26
In order for laptops to be a viable platform for graphical applications, the color reproduction and viewing angles of their displays must be addressed. Most laptops use TN/CCFL displays that suffer from poor color range and color shift. Dell should at very least offer an S-IPS/LED display option in their workstation-class laptops. I realize several of Dell's laptops already have LED backlighting, but there would a significant improvement quality if S-IPS panels were used. Sales Strategies, Desktops and Laptops submitted by karlgo Apr 3 I was very disapointed to read the article from Dell upper management saying they will move away from customizing computers. That is the very reason I switched to Dell! It must be time to move on because when it comes down to it, they all make PCs about the same don't they. I can't tell enough how that is a bad idea. Everyone is panicing because of a temporary slow-down in our economy. Dell is panicing. They do this and Dell will drive so many customers right in the arms of HP. Dell is making a huge mistake in competing with HP...Dell blinked. 17 Comments »  track my votes
