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). Light up keyboards for business laptops Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Small Business, Laptops 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.

I'd like to bring to your attention to a design problem with the Dell XPS M1330 with the nVidia 8400 GS option. "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. Don't put the Dell logo upside down on the Mini Inspiron Laptops submitted by jervis961 May 29
I didn't notice this last night as I was checking out the pictures of the new Dell Mini but it was pointed out by JamesWeb on Dell's "yourblog" that the Dell logo is upside down. GeForce 9M series of laptop GPUs on Dell XPS laptop XPS products, Laptop Power submitted by helmecj01 Jun 3
Put Ubuntu on the list of operating systems when building a PC! Linux, Sales Strategies, Desktops and Laptops submitted by samb0057 08/10/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
Ubuntu is hidden in a dark corner of the website. I work in IT support, and I have a client who was having virus problems a little while ago. I fixed the problem by installing Ubuntu on their PC. Very recently they called me asking for advice on a new computer, I told them about your new offer providing Ubuntu pre-installed on PCs and they wanted to purchase, but could not find the section on your site (this person is a very basic user, doesn't know what open-source means, probably didn't even see the open source link). There is no way they would have found your Ubuntu section on their own. Please make Ubuntu XPS Notebook cheaper than XPS Vista Notebook Linux, Operating Systems, XPS products submitted by dki May 26

Service and Support submitted by lvl3catastrophe May 24
Ok I received my computer and it immediately started having a problem where it would just restart when I was multi-tasking. I tried to use the tech support because I like the computer just wanted the problem fixed. After weeks of troubleshooting I was no where and the tech wanted me to format the HD and reinstall windows for the third time. I knew it had to be an hard ware issue but most foreign tech reps DON'T LISTEN and stink at trouble shooting. I was very angry I just wanted it fixed but didn't have the time to sit on the phone with a tech rep for hours and get no actual trouble shooting. So I wanted to return the computer but it was the 23rd day from the SHIP date I didn't have the computer for 21 days yet but it was counted from the ship date so I was stuck. There should be an extension on the 21 day return policy and your warranty if you have an existing problem that is documented during the period of the policy.

It would not be a threat to the M1730 as you can keep the LED Full HD 1920 x 1200 for it alone. 5 Comments » 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. Environment submitted by falbert May 22
In the last shipment of computers I received I was shocked by the amount of plastic wrap used for items like power cords, USB cables, VGA/DVI cables. Do these items really need to be individually wrapped in a plastic bag. I can just imagine the tons of plastic used by Dell annually... Monitors and Displays, Laptop Power submitted by yardsale Jan 16 I dont know why dell hasnt done this yet. switch all monitors on desktops and notebooks to LED. did you know that you can run an LED screen at full brightniess and it uses less power than a LCD monitor at the lowest brighting level?!? its cheaper, its energy efficent, and it needs to be done! promote this, if you demote i wanna know why! 47 Comments » put Harman Kardon louspeakers on notebooks Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by siger May 19 put Harman Kardon loud speakers (or other good brand) on notebooks 4 Comments » Offer an XPS 12" inch notebook Again Sales Strategies, XPS products, Laptops submitted by nsenman May 16 I used to have the m1210 and m710 laptop notebooks and they were great machines to tote around. Include great specs like the m1210 had. give such things as a strong video card, HDMI, 1394, 3 or more USB ports, swivel webcam, fingerprint reader, etc. You created an awesome performing notebook in the m1210 but it wasn't stylish enough like the m1330. Create an awesome 12'' designer laptop and people will buy it. 7 Comments » Shipping Options - Local Pick Up Sales Strategies submitted by pablohs May 13
I have seen several ideas and comments about how long it takes for items to get shipped, and I agree sometimes 20 days is just too long to wait for a new PC / laptop, specially if the date keeps changing. Offer new cheaper SSD's in XPS notebooks Sales Strategies, XPS products submitted by redrubberpenguin May 7
Solid state drives have been ridiculously expensive for the last few years. The price is over $15 per GB of storage, as opposed to hard disk drives, which come for even less than $1 per GB of storage at times. But there's no arguing the benefits of SSD's... better performance, quicker boot times, and much better data protection all in exchange for a premium price.
