How IdeaStorm Works:
Do not scale back build-to-order systems Desktops and Laptops submitted by masterr Apr 5 **ALREADY OFFERED**
Today in the news I read that Dell "is moving away from its build-to-order model to reduce costs. Dell is limiting the degree to which buyers can dictate specifications while expanding its line of prepackaged models". Please do not do this. The options build-to-order system is what sets Dell above some of the competition. By scaling this back and removing customization choices you remove some of the appeal of buying a Dell machine online. Please do not scale this back. Give XPS Notebooks Gigabit Ethernet XPS products submitted by croftki Feb 17 I understand that Dell market research says home users in general are not interested in gigabit ethernet for home networks. Those who pay for the premium design in the XPS line, however, are more likely to want gigabit ethernet. I would rather buy something more exciting than a business class notebook, but I want to build on my home technology with each purchase I make. XPS Notebooks unfortunately do not help me do this. It seems my only option is to buy a Latitude. 28 Comments » Linux, XPS products submitted by daniel117 Mar 12 After hearing a couple magazines and people say Vista has glitches, I think Dell's best computer ever (and best counterpart of Apple's Macs) this computer company should start looking into Linux more, especially Ubuntu. Oh sure, Dell didn't get enough people into Ubuntu, but that can be easily fixed by putting Linux into Dell One. Dell is missing out on more sales from Ubuntu fans and all you geeks out there. Not much of them, but popularity would spread and soon Vista is in the dust (not that I hate Vista, but I like Ubuntu better). 11 Comments » Linux, Desktops and Laptops submitted by daniel117 06/29/07 **REVIEWED**
Since Dell is putting Ubuntu on their notebooks and a desktop computer, I figured out that they can put it on their tablet pc's as well. Make all your printers support PCL Printers and Ink submitted by kevstar31 Jan 16
"Printer Command Language, more commonly referred to as PCL, is a Page description language (PDL) developed by HP as a printer protocol and has become a de facto industry standard." Monitors and Displays, Laptop Power submitted by yardsale Jan 16 I dont know why dell hasnt done this yet. switch all monitors on desktops and notebooks to LED. did you know that you can run an LED screen at full brightniess and it uses less power than a LCD monitor at the lowest brighting level?!? its cheaper, its energy efficent, and it needs to be done! promote this, if you demote i wanna know why! 46 Comments » Dell EV | Design and Sell an Electric Car New Product Ideas submitted by dhart 02/21/07
Dell possesses the fundamental resources necessary to produce an electric car for the 21st century: Inspiron Notebook Graphics Card Options Are LACKING...budget gamers VOTE to change! Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Gaming submitted by syrics06 11/21/07
Dell, Sell old junk hardware for a discount price Sales Strategies submitted by jadebrain 11/23/07 You could sell obsolete hardware to people who want to use said hardware for various purposes: education, hobbies, homemade computers, recycling, etc. I've been looking for a bunch of old stuff for a LONG time. 5 Comments » Give us the OPTION to sort ideas by score. IdeaStorm submitted by winoffice 11/17/07
Dell already allows people to sort by category (i.e., Dell, IdeaStorm, Software, etc.), and by the person who submitted it (i.e., show only ideas submitted by a certain user), and cosh suggested sorting by Dell-assigned tags (i.e., **NOT NOW**, **IMPLEMENTED**, **UNDER REVIEW**, etc.) Linux Drivers for All Dell Devices Linux, Monitors and Displays submitted by grifter 10/24/07 **REVIEWED**
If Dell truly wishes to promote their Ubuntu line of computers then they should make sure that all of their devices work properly with the OS. For instance, the SP2008WFP monitor, while it does display everything fine, does not have drives for Linux systems of any kind. This is most certainly a hamper for any Ubuntu users to want to buy a Dell peripheral. IdeaStorm needs a new category: TECHNOLOGY submitted by phubert 11/26/07
For IdeaStorm submission and discussion of TECHNOLOGY issues VOIP for technical support with video Sales Strategies, Service and Support submitted by helmecj01 11/26/07
I think Dell should used the VOIP for technical support with video. 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. Desktops and Laptops submitted by olderthan 05/06/07 I'd like to see colors other than dark gray and corporate off white. Cherry red, royal blue, warm orange etc. 1 Comment » Provide one Notebook and one desktop with hardware entirely supported under opensource licences Dell, Linux, Software submitted by monday90 05/06/07 Either source your own drivers and release them under an open source license or build them from hardware that has openly available interfaces. This enables people to install whatever they want, Windows/ Linux /BSD /Opensolaris etc and write their own drivers should they wish to. You wouldn't even have to provide drivers for the latter option. All of this can already be done, the challenge is putting together the best performing rig. 6 Comments » Enable AHCI in Dell Notebook BIOS Operating Systems, Sales Strategies, Laptops submitted by ldr 05/06/07
Latest Dell notebooks are based on ICH7M chipset and even have SATA hard drives with NCQ support. But, the option to enable ahci, and therefore to enable SATA NCQ is not available in Dell BIOSes (other brands give the option). who makes decisions about ideas on ideastorm Dell Community, IdeaStorm submitted by badblood 05/06/07
I was just wondering, who makes the decision in Dell to implement or discuss an idea on ideastorm. Who recommends ideas to management, is there someone filtering ideas, sorting them, writing notes on them, sending them to M. Dell or what? It seems unlikely to me that senior managers look at the site very much...so who does....and is there some type of committee set up to review the ideas... Linux, Service and Support submitted by tekhawk 07/20/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**
basicly a simple idea dell to support the ubuntu community a little bit by running a repo for its laptops and desktop if nothing more to support the software that they install on the system and to provide driver updates theses repos should be setup on the machines before shipping so that the users can get the driver updates quick and easy and offer driver on there for all the drivers that there are for dell machines that are support on linux not just the shipping lines Stop Overcharging on Notebook RAM Sales Strategies, Laptops submitted by realskript 08/28/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
