How IdeaStorm Works:
Dell can help the market standardize on Blue Ray faster Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Sales Strategies submitted by ranjith 02/14/07 Dell has already declared support for Blue Ray but is not a visible part of its offerings yet. Dell can push the vendors to drive the prices down and help this technology adoption at a faster rate. 1 Comment » Dell submitted by nimitsoni 04/26/07 Come into a huge emerging market for computer market like India is realy a great opportunity for a giant like Dell. But one thing which the company should keep in mind is about the rural market of India and the supply chain need to be established in this market segment. The company can hire local trader in the field. These local traders are generaly dealing in computer assembly. In this rural market the awairness of Branded computers is still low. People preffer in assembled computers. If the company want to cater these customer than need to make more promotion and creat awairness about branded product of this catagory. 2 Comments » Sell cheaper Used Windows licenses like the ones the Govt of Munich buys. Operating Systems submitted by jmxz 04/26/07 http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2007/01/02/munich_buys_windows_2000/ Munich buys Windows 2000 used licensesYes, that was 2007; and yes that was Windows 2000. Windows 2000 if perfectly adequate for many user's needs; and at less than half price it's pretty appealing. This will also be useful after Microsoft stops letting Dell ship new copies of XP. Selling used copies of XP could let Dell continue to fill the demand after Microsoft stops OEMs from selling new ones later this year. 8 Comments » Provide a way to associate similar ideas/posts IdeaStorm submitted by hjwasson 04/26/07
There should be a way to associate many similar posts together. If you page through IdeaStorm, you will find clouds of posts regarding "Please don't kill the Axim," "Fix the search feature," etc. IdeaStorm should check to see if your post is similar to existing posts IdeaStorm submitted by hjwasson 04/26/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**
One of the greatest failings with IdeaStorm's otherwise wonderful concept is that many similar posts are created - and although they all get votes, no one post gets enough votes to rise to Dell's attention. Add Expiration Dates to Software & Equipment Quotes Service and Support submitted by jbhagan 04/26/07
When I get a quote from my Dell rep it takes time before I can act on it. I have to put together a customer proposal and wait for a response. I never know if my quote is going to be good by the time I am ready to purchase because there is no displayed expiration date. Some quotes have been good for at least a month while the last one I received expires after 3 days (glad I asked!). If I get customer approval on a quote that proves to be expired, I get stuck with the change in price (sometimes good, sometimes bad). Sales Strategies submitted by painterhenry 04/26/07
1) sometimes when I use the system configurator to upgrade the spec of a certain lower end system, the resulting price would be less than the cost of a higher end Dell preconfigured system of exactly the same spec! Similarly, sometimes when I use the system configurator to downgrade the spec of a higher end system, the resulting price would be less than the cost of a Dell preconfigured lower end system of the same spec! Please eliminate this kind of inconsistency. Linux or OSless on every system Linux, Operating Systems, Desktops and Laptops submitted by tacone 04/27/07
Now that you've decided to offer Linux please don't restrict to a little number of systems. Free DOS as an OS choice while configuring laptops online - INDIA Operating Systems, Laptops submitted by jlanetuser 04/27/07
The configurability of DELL laptops online is restricted in that the OS choice almost always is limited to either Windows VISTA or XP. It will be better if Free DOS is provided as a choice. This will be extrmely useful for many end users who would rather buy the OS of their choice rather than being restricted to the bundled OS option. Also the end users might already have access to a purchased OS, in which case the bundled OS becomes an unnecessary cost factor. This option is already available in many HP Compaq laptops avaialble in the market. True PNP hardware driver support standard Service and Support submitted by dino 04/27/07 Work with other vendors and Microsoft/other OS manufactures to create a true local Plug and Play hardware driver standard, where the driver for supported operating systems is stored on the hardware device physically. A small flash memory module installed on each hardware device that stores all supported operating system drivers. When the hardware device is detected the operating system will detect the driver from the flash memory on the hardware and if found the correct driver will install automatically. If not the user would be asked for the driver as normal. When the user downloads an updated driver from the internet an option to update the PNP firmware should be available. This would allows all drivers to be installed during operating system installation and when installing new hardware on a computer system. This would also reduce calls to tech support for driver related questions and create a stable operating environment since the user will always have the correct driver support.

Please stop including so many peices of "trial software" in new machines. I didn't ask for any of that stuff, and I don't want any of that stuff. Latitude products submitted by lits 04/27/07
It is soo difficult to write a document or do anything on a laptop when the lights are off and screen brightness isnt blazing due to strain on the eyes. UBUNTUN LINUX pre-/dual install Linux submitted by googlyminataur 04/27/07 Don't only give your customers one choice for an OS. 15 Comments » Doc 30 day getting started contracts for free... Advertising and Marketing submitted by supeg 04/27/07
I think that if we somehow had a program where instead of offering the 30 day getting started contracts for 50 dollars, if we offered them for free. By doing so, we will have a lot more people using it, therefore we are able to position upgrades to a ton of people who would get to use the service and find out how valuable it really is. Make the laptop keyboard easy to clean Laptops submitted by dlipton 04/28/07 The keyboards in laptops are extremely difficult to clean. If crumbs fall under or between the keys it can be tough to fish them out. What if there was a way to pop open the keyboard to easily vacuum out under the keys or, even better, if you could just throw the think in a sink to wash it out. 2 Comments » Gaming, XPS products submitted by muzicman82 04/28/07
I purchased an XPS M1710 notebook in early December 2006. Not two weeks later, Dell announces that the same model is available with a BluRay drive, and is nVidia PureVideo certified. Integrated Universal Remote For Laptops Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by transit60 04/28/07 Dell should partner with Logitech to develop an integrated universal remote control. Not a seperate, hand held remote, but a system that would be within the laptop, with control buttons in place of the media control buttons currently on Inspirons in the front. Software based controls could also be implimented. For those of us who use their laptops at home in the living room, we would never have to hunt for the remote again. 1 Comment » DELL GAMR Line of PCs - Smaller than Shuttle Gaming, Desktops and Laptops submitted by reg 04/28/07
Dell should design a DELL GAMR Line of PCs - Smaller than Shuttle: Make all notebooks' warranty global Service and Support, Laptops submitted by painterhenry 04/28/07
Notebooks are meant to travel around, not just within a country but also globally. I propose each and every single Dell notebook should carry international warranty. Better Notebook sound and features Laptops submitted by foxx 02/17/07
