Ubuntu's BrainStorm seems to have similar capabilities to Dell's IdeaStorm. Notable differences are Buy @ Dell, Pick up @ Best Buy Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Sales Strategies submitted by bsmmoney Mar 1 Have you ever come home and seen that little sticky note on your door from UPS and thought, SHOOT! I missed my new Dell! Why can't Dell take online custom orders and ship them directly to your local Best Buy store? This would also allow customers to use Dell coupons and gift cards online. Many people don't like to give out their shipping address either. Shipping custom Dells from the Dell online store to Best Buy would bring a lot more customers and strengthen Dell and Best Buy's relationship. 17 Comments » DELL shouldn't charge $150 more for their (PRODUCT)RED model and only donate $50 to Africa Dell submitted by jaylus12 Feb 16

Dell should update their notebook drivers more often. Have AMD CPUS As an option for the Ubuntu Line Linux submitted by timberwolf753 Feb 8 Give the people choice of CPU's to use in your Ubuntu Line. I want to buy one but I don't use Intel CPU's becasue they suck up power and that is why I use Energy Efficient AMD CPUs. So please, Let us choice if we want an AMD or Intel CPU in our computers. 2 Comments » Non-Glossy Screen on the XPS 1530 Sales Strategies, XPS products submitted by zero79 Feb 17 Glossy screens are reflective. This is bad. Please provide a non-glossy option on the XPS 1530. 11 Comments » Linux, Operating Systems, Sales Strategies submitted by xivulon 09/26/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
There are several proposals that basically ask the same thing: SHOW UBUNTU IN THE LIST OF OPERATING SYSTEM ON ALL MACHINES [subtract $50]. And why not, add XP to the list as well. There are also many more proposals that would be made redundant IF the above was implemented. If you add them all together that is probably the most requested feature at the moment. Yes I think many of the ideas below can be merged. Ultra slim Blu-ray drive for the m1330!? Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), XPS products submitted by q0987 Feb 23
Bring back high resolution screens (1680x1050) for Ubuntu laptops Linux, Laptops submitted by meuge Feb 22
I understand that Dell has decided to use the high resolution panels in the XPS line of laptops, and not in the Inspiron line. However, this means that it's impossible to purchase a laptop with Ubuntu that has a higher screen resolution than 12XX. Let us leave the laptop plugged in for as long as we want without negatively affecting the battery. Laptop Power submitted by sotopheavy Feb 21
My rule of thumb is if a battery goes down below an hour of laptop life it is useless . This usually happens within the first 8 months of owning a laptop for me. Make a calendar with all COMING SOON and IN PROGRESS ideas Advertising and Marketing, IdeaStorm submitted by krasmussen 09/22/07 **REVIEWED**
One of the biggest annoyances with IdeaStorm is that the horizon for an idea being implemented is very blurry, if at all existing. If you're lucky, you get "third quarter 2009", but mostly, there is no timeframe at all. This leads to the feeling that not much is being done, and exactly that feeling is what IdeaStorm should be eliminating. Dell: Support Open BIOSes for Linux Dell, Linux submitted by phubert 10/10/07 **REVIEWED**
An Open BIOS for Linux would free it from the DOS legacy code and speed boot times. More feedback from Dell on popular ideas IdeaStorm submitted by pjeff Feb 15
I would like to see more (official) feedback from Dell on popular ideas eg. +1000 ideas. Create a right-angle adapter for laptop power cords Laptop Power submitted by alan.price Feb 23 I'd like to see a right-angle adapter made for laptop power cords. I know there's times when I need to push my laptop as close to something as I can, and that's hard to do without severly bending the power cable coming out the back of it. I'd be willing to pay a few dollars for convenience. 6 Comments » Tell us what WiFi chipset a laptop has. Broadband and Mobility, Dell Web Site, Linux, Laptops submitted by tonyb2006 08/29/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
Tell us the WiFi chipset used in a laptop before we buy it so we know if the WiFi chipset supports a feature we want, or if it supports Linux or another operating system that we intend to use. The WiFi chipset being like "Intel ipw2200" or "Broadcom BCM4306", or "Ralink rt2500". 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. Offer HighResolution screens for your consumer Laptops as you do for the business Latitudes Monitors and Displays, Laptops submitted by rseibel 04/22/07
Please offer the highresolution screen for you consumer Inspiron and XPS laptops as an option as you do for the business line of Latitudes. It is not much more effort, but makes them much more attractive. Let me replace the Windows Key for a Linux key in the keyboard Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Linux submitted by silencer Feb 12
It would be nice to be able to change the windows key for a linux key when you build your machine. Every linux user would love that! :) Put Ubuntu on a laptop with better specs Inspiron products, Linux submitted by piratehead 10/16/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**
Offer an Ubuntu laptop (Inspirion or otherwise) with available discreet graphics, discreet audio, 8GB or more of RAM, a quad-core processor, bluetooth, next-gen WiFi, and integrated webcam.  track my votes
