It seems many of the highest voted Ideas are the most neglected by Dell 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.

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... 5 minute "battery backup" on notebooks to allow fast main battery switching Laptop Power submitted by hjwasson 04/23/07
I would like to see Dell notebook computers incorporate a small internal battery that would allow users to quickly swap out their depleted primary battery with a fresh one - without having to power off or hibernate the notebook first. Hibernation sometimes fails on resume (although far less often than Standby), and shutdown/reboot takes too long when you're in the middle of an important meeting. I've been told that Apple MacBooks allow you to swap out batteries without shutting down first. This 1 watt (1/10 watt when Idle) CPU does look interesting. Environment, Servers and Storage submitted by jmxz 08/26/07
Yes, I know all the other VIA CPU ideas seem to be voted down, but this 1-watt (1/10 watt when idle) 500MHz CPU looks very promising. VIA also apparently has the most power-efficient motherboard. =================================================== Dell - please stay focused on the highest-voted ideas, though. Don't distract yourselves with this one until you've addressed these ideas which have been the top-ranked ideas for many months without adequate responses..
Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Monitors and Displays, XPS products submitted by mike2912 May 2 I want a 1900x1200 24 inch screen. What is the point of blue ray if you can't watch it on a full HD screen. I would also like 45 nm intel processors. 2 Comments » Higher Screen Resolution for Vostro 1310 Monitors and Displays, Vostro products, Laptops submitted by ccpljat May 3 I know it is a 13.1" screen. But can't you put a higher resolution on it? I want a thinner and lighter notebook, but I can't sacrifice my screen resolution. It would take away from my productivity. That is what we are all after...right? 4 Comments » Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by rjrich 04/19/07 Please put backlit LED panels into laptops/notebooks. 1 Comment » Drop the Inspiron line of notebooks Laptops submitted by canadaboy May 5
caveat: I'm writing this from an Inspiron 9400 New Product Ideas submitted by brianahier May 5 I would like for Dell to develop an ultra-portable (maybe named the Porta :-) that is roughly the size of a smartphone which has the processing power of a good laptop, and can also function as a telephone. This device might also have the ability to connect to a dock at the base of a monitor which would also allow for network connectivity and peripheral attachments. I would replace my three desktop computers with this device. Of course, I could back up the device “in the cloud” and carry my computer with me everywhere… 6 Comments » Make a laptop power supply that doesn't stink Laptop Power submitted by eauxnguyen 02/18/07
Each of the four Dell laptops I have owned all sit gathering dust with failed power supplies. This might be acceptable if it were one or even two of them. The most recent are two Dell Inspiron 8600's I bought for my kids 3 years ago. Both of the 8600 power supplies died at two years of service. If we wiggle the cord just right at the brick it might work for a bit, then no more. I bought one more power supply new and it failed too. What does it take to make a power supply that just works? My now 7 year old Thinkpad power supply continues to work fine and my kids take it everywhere. It will take quite a bit to convince me to buy a Dell again because of this bad experience. Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), XPS products submitted by arid47 05/08/07 The choice of power supplies is limited for XPS 410 and 210 desktop units. Since Vista can be a very intense system with several peripherals added, I think we need more than a 350w power unit to choose from. Comment » No propietary power supply/motherboard Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Desktops and Laptops submitted by echohead 02/21/07 Dell has used power supplies with propietary connectors along wth those connectors on the motherboards. This causes two problems--1) If your power supply fails, you have to buy through Dell. and 2) If in the future you want to upgrade your computer with a new motherboard, you can't because the power supply won't connect to it. 1 Comment » Laptops submitted by kram 03/30/07
For the roadwarriior type, notebook power supplies are such a nuisance, and their design hasn't changed for years. I would gladly pay to upgrade my power supply to one that has an effective and fast way of storing those irritating cords. Spring loaded reel inside the power supply case would be best. And why do you need to provide long lengths of both the AC and DC cords. Why not just have a very short AC cord that could be pushed back into the power supply case, and a much longer DC cord (which is thinner, and easier to store). New Product Ideas, Laptop Power submitted by magiting May 5
Hi Mr. Michael Dell, Laptops submitted by gunnarlium 04/29/07
I would like a smaller power supply for my ultraportable laptop. Dell's power brick is too big for my taste. Reducing the size would increase portability greatly, since I always bring my power supply to ensure that I don't run out of power.  track my votes
