How IdeaStorm Works:
Provide a fix for Media Direct instead of asking user to reformat Servers and Storage, Software, Desktops and Laptops submitted by programatix Apr 26
Dell Media Direct feature is too easy to break. A minor change to the partition layout or size will simply break it. When this happen, pressing the Media Direct button when the system is turned off will not start Dell Media Direct anymore.
I also found out that the MD3 partition is hidden with unknown state because the type of the partition is set to "DD". If I set it to "OB", it will turn into FAT32 and can be viewed normally with Windows Explorer. I don't see anything special with the implementation of MD3 partition but why is it so complicated in reviving it when it is broken? Please Dell, instead of asking users to reformat the HDD, provide a way to fix it or rebuild it without reformatting the HDD. 3 Comments » Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Desktops, Linux submitted by pawprintz 02/17/07 **REVIEWED**
How about a fast, Internet ready Linux desktop. Small form factor, pretty monitor, mouse & keyboard, the O.S., OpenOffice & Firefox. Cheap'n'fast Show Max Specs in System Descriptions Desktops and Laptops submitted by dfrandin Apr 23
It would make research on ordering Dell systems if the maximum values of RAM, hard drive size etc, were shown on the system description pages. A good example of what I'm talking about: The Optiplex 755, shows on the memory section, "Up to 4.0GB DDR2 Non-ECC SDRAM, 800MHz, (4DIMM)". However, if you take the time to read the online Optiplex service manual, you find that the system supports Computers for Autistic Children New Product Ideas submitted by eitniears Apr 29

XPS 630 Pci Card For master I/O board and rear LED board. Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Desktops, XPS products submitted by skimmy May 22
If it is possible. Dell could make a pci card That we could connect the master I/O board and the rear led board to and not connect them to the motherboard. we could install any after market motherboard and not worry about losing control of the Front./Rear LEDS Or the HDD/Pci cage fans. since we wont need to worry about about the missing connections on say an evga motherboard. Servers and Storage, Desktops and Laptops submitted by pablohs Apr 29 I would like to have a "small" solid state HD. The idea is to have a solid state (i.e. flash memory) HD for the operative system(s) - allowing for a faster boot. A large, more traditional HD could be use for the everything else. 11 Comments » Offer Open Office for Buisness Market Software, Small Business submitted by siger May 10 Offer Open Office for Buisness Market 7 Comments » Hardware numberpad on all 17 inch laptops Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by phil.christs May 10 On 17 inch laptops there is plenty of space for a full size keyboard with a hardware numberpad to the right of it. All 17 inch laptops should have them. This is one way in which Dell's workstations could be better than the Macbook Pro. 4 Comments » Design An Ultra Portable w/ SideShow Technology Sales Strategies, Laptops submitted by fahdriyami May 12 Dell, its time you come up with an Ultra Portable 13" notebook that would compete with Toshiba's UP Thinkpad and Apple's Macbook Air, a feature that im sure will be very unique and really make the product stand up would be its support for SideShow, which would look pretty nice on a 13".

The cheaper Inspiron laptops can only go up to 1280x800. I cannot be productive on a screen that small any more. At least bump it up to 1440x900 or equivalent. I have basically been forced to shop in the Small Business section to find an affordable computer with a higher screen resolution. 4 Comments » Standardize Laptop Hard Drives - banish these connectors Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by georgecoffey May 20
I wanted to upgrade my hard drive as it had a second Hard Drive Bay. When I purchased a new hard drive from a local PC Store, it wouldn't go into my new laptop. I had previously checked that it was a SATA HDD and Laptop. However, when I took out my system Drive(the one that came originally), I did notice a little connector was on it. 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... give the origianl CD of the OS and not an ISO Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Service and Support submitted by siger May 19
when there is a problem with the Master Boot Record the ISO can't repair it and we have to go to a reparation company. LED Backlit Displays for Higher Resolutions for XPS M1530 Monitors and Displays, Sales Strategies, XPS products submitted by whitefrost May 14 The release of the LED backlit 1440 x 900 display is great, but needs to be expanded to higher resolutions most notably the 1680 x 1050 resolution which a large number of people use and are most comfortable with. 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 » Availability of LED LCD SCREENS in FRANCE and EUROPE Monitors and Displays, Sales Strategies, XPS products submitted by mdevoucoux May 17

Promote this Idea to let Dell know that we need to keep the XPS desktop and laptop product line. 31 Comments »  track my votes
