How IdeaStorm Works:
Light up keyboards for business laptops Precision Workstations submitted by derricktwo Jun 24 I'm fortunate enough to have made it in this industry without really knowing how to type. I can type fairly fast, but I have to look at the keys while I'm doing so. I highly doubt I am the only person that needs to do this. I noticed that the Alienware notebooks have an option to add a light up keyboard. I think this would a great feature to have on Dells business class laptops. This would allow people to work in bed without needing to turn on the lights, or during night flights for a business trip.

Now with the advent of the disappearing floppy users need an option to load the BIOS from the CD-ROM drive. Laptop Skins that produce solar energy Environment, Laptops submitted by danieljoerg Jun 1 How about producing/selling Sleeves that make solar energy usable to run Dell Laptops? 17 Comments » Proximity sensor for keyboard backlight activation on XPS laptops Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), XPS products submitted by tovare Jun 19
One of my consens with keyboard backlight is that it would light up the PC too much in the dark for instance when watching a DVD. Varius timeout modes from last keyboard activity is clumsy, because then you need to say hit one of the arrow-keys (although it would have been fun to see a keyboard once with an actual ANYKEY). Do not merge ideas until you can unmerge them. IdeaStorm submitted by winoffice Jun 21 There have been several incidents of IdeaStorm moderators merging ideas that are not in fact duplicates. Therefore, I suggest that ideas not be merged until you are able to unmerge them. 17 Comments » Get Splashtop available on most if not all computers. Desktops, Linux submitted by he_the_great Jun 12 Splashtop is an integrated Linux desktop that lets you instantly boot your computer into an environment to browse the web and other tasks.

Comment » Avoid Glare On Screens and Notebook Frames Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Sales Strategies, Laptops submitted by bobetsue 02/20/07
Glare and reflection from high glare screens, screen frames, and notebook computers is annoying and distract from function and use. Discounts, Credit, or Cash for Recycling Old Laptops and Computers Sales Strategies submitted by wendaline Jun 19 I think Dell should offer customers either a discount, credit, or cash back for recycling their old computers. Both HP and Toshiba do this, so, why not Dell? If they did this it would help the enviroment while gaining loyal customers or keeping already loyal customers from going to their competetors AND they could refurbish the old parts and start selling refurbished computers at lower prices for those of us who can't afford to spend a fortune on a new computer. Come on Dell execs listen to your consumers, the ones who pay your salery, and keep us as your customers. Do you really want the other companies to win? Comment » Eliminate M1330 heat related failures XPS products submitted by hkt Jun 18
I'd like to bring to your attention to a design problem with the Dell XPS M1330 with the nVidia 8400 GS option. Hot-swappable laptop batteries. Laptop Power submitted by jmxz May 31
I'd like to be able to swap the battery on my laptop without having to turn it off or hibernate it. It seems you could do this by putting a large capacitor or tiny internal battery that could provide power for the 30 seconds or so it takes to switch to a spare battery. Another way you might be able to do this is instead of having one big battery in each laptop, have 2 small ones instead; and you could swap them one at a time. Get the XPS 720 Certified As Ubuntu Compatible Linux, XPS products submitted by aikiwolfie Jun 22
Please have the basic XPS 720 certified as Ubuntu compatible. I've been using one for about a year now with Ubuntu as my only OS and it works without a hitch. No problems. give the origianl CD of the OS and not an ISO Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Service and Support submitted by siger May 19
when there is a problem with the Master Boot Record the ISO can't repair it and we have to go to a reparation company. Produce a laptop that can be used on a lap New Product Ideas, Laptops submitted by oligarch Jun 24
Laptops have grown to be unuseable comfortably on a lap due to heat, screen position and keyboard ergonomics. I would like to retain the power of current offerings to handle video, computation and average games, but to be light and easily useable without a tray/cooler and to still have a good screen size (say 15" or so). Don't charge up to $50 more to downgrade from Vista to XP Operating Systems - Multiboot, Desktops and Laptops submitted by jervis961 Jun 17 Dell is going to start charging customers up to $50 to downgrade thier systems operating system from Vista to XP after Wednesday. While some people see XP as an upgrade, I don't think there should be a charge for it. 17 Comments » Install FireFox 3 as the default browser Software submitted by badblood Jun 18
It's your second chance. Firefox has come out with a gleaming new version of their internet browser. So install it as the default browser before it's too late. Accessories (Keyboards, etc.) submitted by falbert May 22 How come we can still get in 2008 mechanical mice. Come on guys, in 2008 there should be only optical mice available. Also please make it clear on the web site what people are purchasing. 26 Comments » "Dell E" Find a new name for your new computer... Advertising and Marketing submitted by badblood Jun 13
Dell's upcoming netbook ultaramobile thing is apparently going to be called the 'Dell E' which sounds like Deli, where you can buy milk, bread and other nice things. How about another update on the highest voted ideas. IdeaStorm submitted by jmxz Jun 19
