Wish list for next gen XPS Gaming Portable

Gaming, XPS products submitted by guardianxps 05/02/07

ok so I have an XPS M1710 and love it.

However I noticed other manufacturers have been getting creative with their high end portables.

So here is my wish for whatever will be the next version of the 1710 XPS

1. Add a number pad PLEASE!!!!
2. Allow the customer to choose the type of keyboards on the system: Black, Silver, or Clear.
3. Backlight the keyboard and touchpad.
4. Allow us to choose a skin of a popular game on the system, preferably on the top and around the keyboard. (the WOW M1710 was cool but didnt cover enough of the system)
5. Add a mic to the portable
6. There are plenty of high end AMD processors, I would ask for a really good one that supports X64.
7. Add thumb print technology to the system somewhere like the Lenovo systems. This is great security technology.
8. Change the chassis to the new system, maybe something really cool instead of what you have now.
9. Hopefully there will be DX10 video cards available for the portables?
10. Move away from Silver chassis systems, its very bland. Maybe all black, or midnight blue, or maybe red?
11. Allow surround sound to be used on the portable. I have a Turtle Beach headset with surround sound. I need another device to make it work, how about add the ports which allow connecting to 5.1 speakers or headset.

Well thats all I can think of right now.

Feel free to add anything else which comes to mind. Hopefully this gets a lot of votes. :) 8 Comments »

DELL/XPS Gaming Clothing and Accessories Store

Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Gaming, XPS products submitted by guardianxps 04/26/07

Dell should have a branded store for shirts, shorts, mousepads, themes, jackets, etc which have Dell and XPS branding. Currently, as an XPS 710 customer you receive a very cool H2C T-Shirt. What about those of us with a M1710? I think this would be cool, and I suspect other people like me would buy a XPS/Dell or even gaming branded item. 2 Comments »

Dell should sponsor American Idol

Dell submitted by guardianxps 03/24/07

Hey Dell,

During the last show of American Idol they showed how some large fortune 100 companies were contributing to a good cause to help the poor.

Dell has already shown its ability to understand, recognize, and act on the enviornment. So, maybe it would be cool to see Dell work with a good cause and helping the poor both here in the US and in Africa.

Just a thought. 3 Comments »

XPS and Alienware

XPS products, Desktops and Laptops submitted by guardianxps 03/21/07

How about we see a system which is on both Alienware and Dell/XPS.

Kind of a hybrid between both systems.

Since they are both under the same company Dell, why not.

XPS and Alienware customer both get to share technologies with each other.

Maybe combine XPS and ALX into a new breed of system.

1 portable and desktop version. 3 Comments »

Change Dell.com to be more like /gaming

Dell Web Site submitted by guardianxps 03/21/07

Ok, so I have been watching as dell.com/gaming have grown since its launch and I love the layout.

Can we get away from the boring and move to the exciting? Comment »

Allow all parts to be customer replaceable on laptops

Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by guardianxps 03/03/07

I guess this one is a no-brainer, but build systems which all parts are accessible on all portables, not just the high-end systems. 3 Comments »

Allow one 1 category for each idea

IdeaStorm submitted by guardianxps 03/02/07

So here is a point, I would like to show. How does my idea cover all of these categories? It doesnt. I looked in gaming and didnt see 1 recent idea relating to Gaming and it looked like it was a blanket add. So, lets categorize these ideas correctly please. 1 Comment »

Can we add a spell checker feature in Ideastorm?

There have been a lot of posts from folks who I guess need to look up those big words before using them. 2 Comments »

Sell ink cartridges at local retail

Printers and Ink, Sales Strategies submitted by guardianxps 02/21/07 **IMPLEMENTED**

So, for convenience and ease of access, can Dell sell ink cartridges through local retail stores? I realize Dell is an online store; and not suggesting you stop the online part, but also make it available through retail stores. Considering weather or other natural occurrences, and the latest discomfort from DHL leaving the ink cartridges on the door just to be stolen gets annoying.





We now sell ink cartridges at Staples. Click here for more details

Get UPS and DHL to stop leaving packages at Door

Service and Support submitted by guardianxps 02/21/07

Ok, how many times have we found packages supposedly left at our door instead of handed to us.

I realize this is not Dell's fault, but leverage these carriers to provide better service on delivering our products please.

This gets annoying and inconveniencing real fast. 10 Comments »

So, here I see after a couple of days a few ideas, which appear to be the same person with over 12k votes in it.

These type of suggestions should be removed so they dont affect the really good ideas.

Lets keep this as it should, to help and not allow a new form of spam. Comment »

Clear Finish Keyboard for gaming systems

Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Gaming submitted by guardianxps 02/17/07

Heya all,

So I have wondered why Dell is using standard keyboards for these high end systems. Alienware doesnt use standard keyboards on their systems why does Dell?

So my suggestion or idea, how about use a clear coat keyboard on your gaming system and maybe even a backlight? Comment »

Build Portables in the US

XPS products submitted by guardianxps 02/17/07

Heya all,

So, I have an XPS M1710 and one of the things I learned is the computer is not built in the US, from my understanding they are built overseas.

Can we get our higher end XPS systems built here in the States? This would help reduce the wait time on delivery by a week at least. Comment »

System Security - Fingerprint Scanners

Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by guardianxps 02/17/07 **ALREADY OFFERED**

I would like to see computers have some new technology added like Fingerprint scanners. Stolen computers are an issue and adding this will create a better level of security. The only downside I can see would be if one person sold the computer to another and didnt reset the scanner.

Still, I would like to see this and I am sure others would too.
