How IdeaStorm Works:
Dell Web Site, Environment submitted by fleser 10/17/07
Since power costs are a significant part of total cost of ownership it would be helpful to see the power consumption of selected items in the shop. List Power Details when configuring a computer Desktops, Sales Strategies, Servers and Storage submitted by rotthund 10/15/07 When ponding the power consumptions of a CRT vs LCD display, I saw the Dell confiugation doesn't list a desktop's power supply details, nor it's typical power consumption. Monitor specs list those details. List those details on Dell computers, and show the estimated effect the configuration has on the computer's power details. 5 Comments » Recycle & refurbish old Dell PCs back to Dell for 10% discount Environment submitted by reg 05/18/07
Recycle your old Dell back to Dell for a 10% discount on new equipment. Dell can then secure overwrite erase the hard drive, install Ubuntu + hardware drivers, then donate the hardware to unemployment, food stamp, and welfare offices Nationwide. The social services offices then can pass out the refurbished used equipment to its clients, and Dell can be given BIG tax breaks by the State and Federal Systems. Laptops submitted by dummy 02/20/07
* return of useful notebook displays with resolution of 1400x1050 NOT these awful wide screen true life displays Bring Back a 15.4" 1920X1200 Inspiron Inspiron products submitted by rockettech 05/25/07 Bring back a high-resolution 15.4" display coupled with a top-end video card. The Latitude D830 has a 15.4" 1920X1200 display but offers Intel integrated graphics only. The Precision M65 is not mainstream and comes with limited options while it is very expensive. I think a 15.4" 1920X12" laptop display would have great appeal to developers, graphic artists, hi-def video users and creators, and multi-taskers. The work area is huge, but still in a manageable and portable size. Don't forget to put a DVI video connector instead of VGA as well. 4 Comments » DUAL DVI ON LAPTOP & PORT REPLICATOR Monitors and Displays, Laptops submitted by jsun9 02/24/07
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON FOR A VGA PORT ON LAPTOPS AND PORT REPLICATORS. Sales Strategies, Laptops submitted by dellmanfred 02/20/07
I cannot understand why we still have to be punished with these vga plugs build into notebooks. Who's actually buying a CRT monitor these days so that he/she would need a vga plug?!?! Monitors and Displays, Laptops submitted by alle 06/15/07
Now a days every one wants more screen space, to view all at once, right now we can do this by using the option "Exten my Windows desktop onto this monitor", but it cost more to have more monitor and its fixed we cannot move with Laptop/notebook, wonderign if we can build multiple monitors attached with Left and Right pannel flip models. Lock down accounts on IdeaStorm which vote for hundreds of ideas in under a couple minutes. IdeaStorm submitted by jorge 10/08/07 Anyone voting for hundreds of ideas in under a couple minutes is not reading the ideas and really not voting as the sites use intended (TOU's), lock down those accounts till the java programmer can add a vote timer and not allow votes to happen so fast, as in a vote between ideas counter. I'd say at least two minutes between votes so the voter can at least read the idea and interpret it. 29 Comments » Make external optical drive an option for all laptops Laptops submitted by badblood 05/26/07
Save weight, save space. Tell us what WiFi chipset a laptop has. Broadband and Mobility, Dell Web Site, Linux, Laptops submitted by tonyb2006 08/29/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
Tell us the WiFi chipset used in a laptop before we buy it so we know if the WiFi chipset supports a feature we want, or if it supports Linux or another operating system that we intend to use. The WiFi chipset being like "Intel ipw2200" or "Broadcom BCM4306", or "Ralink rt2500". There should be an option of having no trialware on all computers Software submitted by jervis961 08/23/07 **REVIEWED**
Here is a news article about trialware and how Dell feels that regular customers want it but small business ones do. Do they not look at the ideas here? Standardize Power Cables for Laptops Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by badblood 08/27/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
Nothing is more annoying than laptop power cables that are not interchangeable from one computer model to another or from one brand of computer to another. Power cables have been standardized on most electrical applicances, including desktop computers for decades. Make Linux and no Operating system standard options on all future products Operating Systems submitted by jervis961 08/17/07 **REVIEWED**
OK Dell you have committed to supplying Linux options in limited form. Since you have laid the groundwork already here is the next step. Every new product you release that needs an Operating system should have Linux and also no Operating System as an option in the configuration along side Windows. Since you have to write drivers and test compatability for Vista when making a new product just make it compatable with Linux at the same time. There will no longer be a need for a seperate sections for Linux or no Operating system since all of the products will have the option. this will help make your site easier to navigate for you customers. You can also create an ACCURATE help me choose section for the OS choices. HDMI, HDMI, by God almighty, HDMI Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by benjesuit 09/25/07
HP has had it on their notebooks for 1 year now. Come on Dell! What's it going to take to put in an HDMI port? Most of the new LCD TV's today input HDMI. No Limits! Make **all** choices available **anywhere** in the world Sales Strategies submitted by mrw 09/16/07
First example: The Germans are second class customers, because they don't get the same choices for Ubuntu Laptops as in the USA. We here in Switzerland are even third class customers, because we do not get an Ubuntu Laptop at all. IdeaStorm submitted by lordcobol 10/02/07 **IN PROGRESS**

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.  track my votes
