XPS 1530 OFFER 64 or 32 bit OS system, AND OFFER 64 BIT DRIVERS FOR ALL LAPTOPS and other PC's DEll sells... like other lower end laptop OEM vendors do...

other vendors, I looked at, while shopping for a laptop, beatifully offered the OS system, in EITHER 64 bit or 32 bit. The world will eventually go towards 64 bit. Gateway is offering their FX gaming desktop with a 64 bit OS pre-installed.
Toshiba, also is selling a VERY impressive laptop at bestbuy with 450 gigs of hardrive, PLUS the 64 bit os system, which makes full use of the 4 gigs.
DONT LOCK THE CUSTOMER INTO 32 bit, thats horrid. Why would DELL DO THAT?. Your such a huge company, it boggles the mind, as to why, if you want to stay competitive, you would only offer a 32 bit OS system?. Revamp your deal with Microsoft, and tell them that if the customer wants to upgrade, that for being a dell customer, a dell customer can get the 64 bit OS without having to BUY it.
AND why would you offer 64 bit drivers ONLY for the XPS 1330. BUT
NOT HAVE THEM AVAILABLE FOR THE XPS 1530?????. It's ludicrous. So now the customer has to rag tag, and get the 64 bit xps1330 drivers, for the xps 1530, and end up sacrificing some hardware functionality, simply because DELL forgets one of the most CRUCIAL aspects of their machines....the OS ?....c'mon dell...whats up that, seriously..i mean, seriously, whats up with that.
EVERY SINGLE LAPTOP you offer, should have available, for it, on your website for download, 64bit drivers and 32 bit drivers.
64 bit drivers are the future, need I tell this to a tech company like dell?....yup. From a humble customer that likes your products, owns TWO XPS laptops, usses an xps 1330 for presentations, powerpoint presentations that I do, and I really love my computer, but would like
to love a bit more. Just a little more. I love the design quality, build wise, is second to none. If you fix these other little details, you will rule, your competitors will have a VERY hard time matching you in the laptop vending industry.
Please consider my ideas. I own two xps's a 1530 and a 1330.
Again thanks, for offering this forum to place our ideas. I have seen some ideas implemented, and would really enjoy seeing some of mine(others have the exact same idea as myself) being implemented.
I know I cant be the only thinking this way. I know I'm not. I highly doubt Dell also thinks I am alone with these thoughts.

Give XPS Notebooks Gigabit Ethernet
XPS products submitted by croftki

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.

Vostros: No thanks.. Heres Why

Network Card: 10/100. That a strait up show stopper. Even some of the Inspiron/Dimensions that they are cloned from have gigabit. It actually amazes me that Dell still sells PC’s with out gigabit. That is right out cheap and a lot of customers might not know what they are missing until its to late.

Offer BOTH the 32 bits AND the 64 bits versions of all Windows Vista editions (Home Basic/Premium, Business and Ultimate) on all PCs
Operating Systems, Desktops and Laptops submitted by winoffice

(Note to XP and Linux users: I am not against Dell offering XP and Linux as well, but this idea is specifically about Vista.)
(Note to Dell: I have never seen any exact duplicate of this so far, as I have seen no idea asking for both 32 bits and 64 bits yet. So please do not merge with what you might find to be a duplicate, until you notify me and I make a reply.)
The idea has been thrown around the site for quite a long time now. I have seen ideas asking for 64 bits Vista, but no specific mentions of 32 bits Vista. So I decided to post it.
Offer both the 32 bits and the 64 bits versions of all Windows Vista editions (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) on all PCs.
That way, I could choose any of those four editions in either 32 bits or 64 bits format. With 32 bits, you can get better compatibility with hardware and software. With 64 bits, you can get better use of memory, and you are able to get up to 4 GB of RAM and even greater.
In my opinion, neither outweighs the other, so I would like it if Dell could offer all of it. I personally will buy only 32 bits Vista because for me, compatibility is more important than memory usage and I do not happen to need 4 GB of memory. But many others want the option of 64 bits Vista.
HP can offer 64 bits Vista Ultimate (I myself have tried to configure their PCs), why can you not? The problem with them however, is that I am forced into buying 64 bits Vista Ultimate or no Vista Ultimate at all. You currently offer 32 bits Vista Ultimate, and keep that option. Just add 64 bits Vista options to your current offerings, but keep your current offerings too.

BOYCOTT VISTA!

Dell Dudes,
Microsoft reserves the right to spy on your computer.
The more you learn how Microsoft EULA has the right to enter your computer, check out what software you are using, and also use the DRM tools in Vista to prevent you from seeing files, data, videos, or hearing 'unauthorized' music files - the more you get a sick, sinking feeling in your gut that someone else has taken control of your machine.
US Federal Government Agencies have BANNED Microsoft Vista, and for good reason.
The Microsoft EULA takes control of your machine, stating directly: "this agreement only gives you some rights to use the software. Microsoft reserves all other rights." Even potentially deleting files or disabling programs.
Compared to the costs of Apple OS X or any Linux Distribution,
The Costs of Windows Vista are Unacceptable.
Keep in mind that Microsoft was convicted by U.S. Courts for its criminal behavior, and is being forced to pay $4 million A Day by the European Union for being in violation of their judgments.
Anti-freedom Vista takes away your rights - do you want to Confirm or Deny?
BOYCOTT WINDOWS VISTA MACHINES!
If you support Linux, freedom, democracy, or just want to keep control of Your own machine that You buy with Your own money, PROMOTE this idea now.
Microsoft - Where in the world did you think you were going to go today?
Let Dell know - You Don't Want Windows Vista.

Backlit Keyboards

I find myself many, many times in dark or poorly lit environments having to guess the various keys - would be fantastic to have a backlit keyboard - with backlit individual keys as the best option.
I would actually pay extra for that convenience if the option was available.
This could be done for desktops or notebooks.

Avoid Glare On Screens and Notebook Frames
Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Sales Strategies, Laptops submitted by bobetsue

Glare and reflection from high glare screens, screen frames, and notebook computers is annoying and distract from function and use.
In stores, this may be a marketing ploy. Consumers may not fully understand the problem of glare. Online sellers like Dell should inform buyers when shopping whether the screen and case are "glare" or "nonglare."
When "nonglare" was introduced to television, shoppers considered it an advantage worthy of extra expense. In the art world, nonglare glass is considered worthy of extra expense.
How did we ever get glossy screens?
Dell should offer customers a choice between "glare" and "nonglare."

Stop Overcharging on Notebook RAM
Sales Strategies, Laptops submitted by realskript
08/28/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
Dell really... REALLY need to stop overcharging... and when i say overcharing... i mean atleast double what you would pay to pick up the ram yourself.
On XPS Notebooks... you are charging $500 for 4GB of ram... when you could easily go pick them up at your local computer shop for $250... and pocket the other half of the $500...
It would be nice if dell could save the customers as well as the company itself this hassle.. and start charging NORMAL prices for an upgrade in RAM.
thanks =D
PS..... PROMOTE THIS!!!!
