How IdeaStorm Works:
New XPS sytem to compete with the HP Blackbird Gaming, XPS products submitted by jediwill71 12/18/07 https://h20435.www2.hp.com/Default.aspx< a look at this beast. I know dell can make an XPS system that can compete with the same varity and amount of options and within the same price range. I know Dell has the XPS 700 series but not with the same amount of options for upgrades. 15 Comments » Include Ubuntu as option for the Vostro line Linux, Small Business, Vostro products submitted by jgjones 12/18/07
The Vostro line is a popular choice for small businesses because of its very very low cost (I use this for the business that I work for for example, and it's a small but rapidly growing business). Temperature Sensors on XPS Motherboards XPS products submitted by thomasp94 12/17/07 Temperature and fan speed sensors should be a standard feature on ALL XPS motherboards. And we should be able to monitor them using any sensor program, not just in the bios or with a Dell specific program. 1 Comment » AVG Free Anti-Virus for life (Windows Users) Operating Systems, Software submitted by rlakes 12/17/07 For Windows users, Dell must give their costumers a plus to compete against Mac. Always updated free anti-virus and anti-spyware like AVG for life! I think AVG is the option rather than Norton or Mc Afee beceuse it is very light and every day have new updates. AVG didn't affect the performance of the PC's like other Anti-Virus do. 11 Comments » Solid State Drives as Default Option submitted by chrislaurence 12/17/07 After the holiday season, Dell ought to get out of the price wars and start selling computers that actually move technology forward. Solid state drives should become the standard drive option on all Dell computers. 4 Comments » Go back to the old design of media buttons on Inspiron laptops Inspiron products submitted by cp 12/18/07 The media buttons on the new Inspiron laptops are small and all lined up together with no space between them. The old ones (like on the Inspiron 9300) were large and round with gaps between them so that you could feel what you were pressing before you pressed it. Why change things just for the sake of change when it ends up with a worse result for the user? 1 Comment » Inspirons Need Selectable USB Boot Device Menu Inspiron products submitted by alfredska 12/15/07
The BIOS on Inspiron notebooks allows us to select: Make notebook keyboards more intuitive Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by hornysax 12/16/07
I currently use a 12.1" 700m laptop. I recently purchased an Inspiron 1420 which I am currently in the process of returning. Option to disable the bright blue LED indicator lights on Inspiron Notebooks submitted by hornysax 12/16/07
I am currently returning a 1420 laptop I recently purchased. The reason is because the blue LED indicator lights on the front of the laptop are too bright. I have color blindness, and my eyes may have heightened sensitivity to color contrast. Make the XPS M1530 uber-power efficient ASAP! XPS products submitted by brand1130 12/16/07
In early 2008, several technologies will become available that will make computers considerably more lightweight and power efficient. Please, implement the following into the XPS M1530 as soon as they become available! Accessories (Keyboards, etc.) submitted by rlakes 12/16/07 A fast search key on your keyboard, very simple and very useful. 2 Comments » High resolution screen and new video card (DirectX 10) on XPS M1330 XPS products submitted by sentron 12/17/07
XPS M1330 is among the best laptops currently available from any manufacturer. It will be the best if Dell improves the video features on this laptop. The model is good eye candy from the outside, but it will be good eye candy from the inside if you add these features: IdeaStorm submitted by badblood 12/17/07
It is hard to say this but the moderation of this site has become intermittent at best and disorganized at worst. Ideas are being merged into completely different ideas, ideas are deleted with impunity, abuse is reported and little action taken, status updates are all over the place, site updates take place with little oversight. What's more supplementary moderators aren't correctly trained and act without due supervision. IMPROVE ALL Specially the XPS 1530 XPS products submitted by bryan14c 12/17/07 Lower the cost of Blue Ray and also include HD DVD, improve the battery of XPS system and also improve your XPS 1530 with more specification this 2008 specially the LCD screen , put some nice Speakers like HP is doing and Toshiba and also put some on and off switch to your touch pad and Slot drive that make some noise i hope dell could fix that problem , and upgrade the windows vista into its SERVICE PACK 1 1 Comment » Dell should offer the XPS m1330 with a 14.1 inch screen XPS products submitted by bigkris 12/17/07 How about offering the XPS m1330 with a 14.1 inch screen, by increasing the width of the chassis with half an inch or so? 4 Comments » Dell submitted by falcon1620 07/31/07 Here is my radical idea…Instead of continuing the contract with Foxconn and Mitec, instead search for quality OEM manufactures for your products. There are lots of them out there, Asus for example is a good start, MSI also has good products, Intel makes awesome motherboards, and many other companies make just solid products. It doesn’t have to be them most expensive, it doesn’t have to be the top of the line, just something with a little more planning and testing before throwing it onto the production line. Foxconn has come a long way, and Mitec well they fell off the face of the earth in the industry… Still none of these OEM’s are anywhere close to “getting it right”… Have some sense of quality for your components. I’ve had so many unnecessary recalls on products that I have worked with from Dell exclusively, cooling options are poorly planned out so machines overheat and cause problems and noise, fans are cheep and the bearings die prematurely, hardware is flawed, capacitors are the wrong value or rating, power supplies blow, causing fires in datacenters, resistors were incorrectly valued on motherboards, screens die prematurely, hard drives overheat and die. Recalls on components have been made on more then one occasion on the wrong problem or similar problems on the same areas failed, but were “to expensive to replace” I had a Dell 486 from my friend that they replace the hard drive, because it would die, the real problem was with the loose connection on the Delta power supply, they had recalled similar power supply models on other manufactures because of the same problem with them, the molex connectors snapped in splicing onto the wires, then a connector would snap into place on top of that, Dell mistakes this for a failed hard drive when it was actually just the Molex connectors shorting out cutting power to the drive… I fixed that problem long after a new hard drive was ordered, and my friends response was gee I always wondered why I kept having problems even after I went though all that trouble with them to replace the drive… 1 Comment » Advertising and Marketing submitted by robert 07/31/07
I had to post this ad again because it is exceptional!! Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Linux, Sales Strategies submitted by lordxale 07/31/07
For the audio geeks among us, wouldn't it be nice if there were some good discrete audio solutions available? Obviously the Audigy Software Edition doesn't even count, and the X-Fi Extreme Music is a really wimpy chip for the high price currently charged ($100 on an XPS 410). Ubuntu on all models where it works Linux, Operating Systems, Small Business submitted by jonsmirl 08/01/07 **IN PROGRESS**
I'm still throwing away copies of Windows. Recently I have ordered some Dimension 9200s from Small Business. All of these machines are running Ubuntu today without problem. They're being used to replace some PE400SCs that are starting to die. A 2GB quad core for $649 was too good a deal to pass up. It makes a great small server. Make Highly Popular type desktops Desktops submitted by officeglen 08/01/07
I will be buying a Highly Popular desktop later this week. Given 4 out of 5 computers in the house are Dell, I’m sorry to be making the switch. Still I can’t get any Dell remotely close to this: $1.4K (without monitor), Q6600, 3G, Vista Ultimate, 1066 FSB, 256 8400 GS, HD DVD. If somebody knows how to do this on Dell, perhaps with some coupon code or the like, please post it here.  track my votes
