Lean Up-to-date (only) Ultraportable concentrating on size & weight
Latitude products submitted by bretta
May 21
The E-Series looks great - but please give us a couple of thinner and lighter models in the 13" - 15" screen size *without* internal optical drive, VGA, DVI, PCMCIA/ExpressCard and Firewire; the idea being minimal size and weight (along with sufficient power, of course).
Keep DisplayPort, at least 2 USBs, eSATA ('til USB 3.0 is ready) and give us solid processing including at least P8400 & P8600. If there's room left over somewhere, include a small SSD (1.8"?) as an optional second drive (that's one of the few 'extras' I'm fine with). I assume it'll have built-in wireless and I couldn't care less about GPS (I hope I'm not paying much in dollars or bulk for it).
I think of this as an updated version of my favorite laptop; a ~2002 Latitude X200. And no docking station, please; just an external optical drive. Thanks. (My $.02)

Sell DELL Products on NEWEGG.com
Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Dimension products, Sales Strategies, Desktops and Laptops submitted by thomasp94
Jan 24
I do all my companies IT shopping at 2 places, 90% at NEWEGG and the rest at DELL. Most of the products I buy at dell are monitors, toner, and other accessories. It would be really great if I could buy Dell products at Newegg. It would be more convenitent, it would save on tax and shipping as well. Newegg is also MUCH faster than Dell at shipping, I can usually get my order in 1-2 days after placing it, compared to a week or more from Dell. I'm not really talking about whole systems, more like...
-Monitors
-Speakers
-Accessories
-Printers
-INK & TONER
-Replacement Parts
-Keyboards & Mice

Would love the ability to have a clean Vista install. No AOL software, no earthlink software, no google software - just a clean, original OS.

Make Linux and no Operating system standard options on all future products
Operating Systems submitted by jervis961
08/17/07 **REVIEWED**
OK Dell you have committed to supplying Linux options in limited form. Since you have laid the groundwork already here is the next step. Every new product you release that needs an Operating system should have Linux and also no Operating System as an option in the configuration along side Windows. Since you have to write drivers and test compatability for Vista when making a new product just make it compatable with Linux at the same time. There will no longer be a need for a seperate sections for Linux or no Operating system since all of the products will have the option. this will help make your site easier to navigate for you customers. You can also create an ACCURATE help me choose section for the OS choices.
Check out what daniel_j has to say on the options we offer.

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?
"Not interested in all of the trial software that clutters up new PCs? You're not alone: According to Dell's recent research in both focus groups and broader surveys, small-business users overwhelmingly view trialware as an irritant, not a benefit. That research has led Dell to axe the extras from its new Vostro line of small-business desktop PCs and laptops. Eliminating demo applications is a major step for Dell, which has caught flack for the quantity of trialware on its consumer PCs. (One frustrated customer went so far as to develop a "Decrapifier" utility. The company says that consumers who buy PCs for personal use do express interest in preloaded trial software, but that small-business users have different needs. By eliminating the trialware from Vostro machines, Dell says it has cut the system setup time in half. For now, Dell is the only major PC manufacturer to ship small-business systems without preinstalled trialware as a standard practice. (Some competitors, such as HP, allow customers to choose a no-trialware configuration.)"
Dell offers a broad amount of software choice and minimal software shipped. Read jeremy_f's post on the options we give our customers
