The "Patriot"! American Made

Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by sa2008 Apr 30

We live in a global marketplace with a global economy; however, many of us are still very proud to be AMERICAN. I would very much like to see Dell produce a laptop called the "Patriot". This machine should be AMERICAN made, and it should have a couple of really cool and patriotic color options.

color option 1 - camo with the end users choice of military logos
color option 2 - the US FLAG

I realize that Dell has move a portion of its workforce to other countries; however, I still consider Dell an AMERICAN company.

I see this type of laptop as an opportunity for Dell to give back a little to the people and the country that made it possible to be DELL.

I would also like to see a portion of every patriot laptop sold dedicated to a charity that specifically supports wounded soldiers and their families!

It's time for Dell to be AMERICAN PROUD!!!! 54 Comments »

The "Patriot" 2.0. Made in the customer's country.

This is a variation of today's earlier "The_Patriot_American_Made Idea.

We live in a global marketplace with a global economy; and note that International Growth is extremely important for Dell. In 2006, Dell saw growth in Asia as sales in Korea, India and China rose by 54%, 40% and 29%, compared to I think 6% growth total sales. Dell spoke of 74 percent growth in Brazil. International sales continue to be a strong growth driver for Dell, and rather than any single-country-specific initiative, Dell should see how such projects could apply globally.

This idea is very similar to the earlier one linked, and the submitter worded it well, so I'll put quotes around the original text I'm copying.

Many Dell customers "are still very proud to be AMERICAN." - but even more Dell customers are proud to be citizens of whatever their respective country may be. " I would very much like to see Dell produce a laptop called the "Patriot". This machine should be" made in the country that the customer is a citizen of", and it should have a couple of really cool and patriotic color options.

color option 1 - camo with the end users choice of military logos
color option 2 - the "Country of the Customer's citizenship"

I would also like to see a portion of every patriot laptop sold dedicated to a charity that specifically supports wounded soldiers and their families" -- perhaps soldiers from the country of whom the Customer is a citizen; or perhaps charities supporting wounded soldiers and families from all countries in which Dell does business. 16 Comments »
