Fashion Computers

Laptops submitted by katlen70 12/12/07

I want a laptop that has a beautiful design that is created by a fashion designer. For example, Marc Jacobs or L.A.M.B would be two design houses who could work with the industrial designers who create the hardware aspect of the laptop.

How cool would it be to be in a coffee house with my cool Marc Jacobs designed laptop! 8 Comments »

Sales Strategies, Desktops and Laptops submitted by jmiller 12/11/07

pick any dell computers from tha past and now, and then pick what windows you want. and any software that you like. it can be old software and new software. or like this, windows media player 9 is old now but windows media player 11 is new now.
and we should be able to pick from any old acceroies and new accrerios. here is a example of this whole thing:. for example i pick a dell dimension 8100 and pick wnidows me and and pick windows media player 10 and word perfect 8,and a wireless keybord and mouse with a internet 7. thats what you should do. 5 Comments »

Have Opera pre-installed browser

Software submitted by envek 02/19/07

Opera is fast, standart compliant, free of charge (on desktops), lite, powerful and crossplatform web-browser.

It's a good choice to people, wants to have good soft without any customisation (or with little) and work with it. Easy and convenient.

Visit www.opera.com for more information (http://ru.opera.com/ and http://jp.opera.com/ for russian and japan official pages).

Yes, I want to have Opera as default browser. Are you? 47 Comments »

Why Charge for Vista Ultimate when Microsoft's giving it away for free.

Operating Systems, Sales Strategies submitted by jmxz 12/12/07

Microsoft seems to have new program where they will give youWindows Vista Ultimate for free, in exchange for your privacy and dignity (more here). In that light, why are you guys charging extra for Ultimate? How about instead offer an option where users can also get it free in exchange for their dignity? Considering Vista users have rather little privacy anyway thanks to the clauses in the Vista License Agreement and the spyware bundled with Vista it seems they wouldn't even be giving up that much.

Idea: Offer the same Free-in-exchange-for-Privacy Vista Ultimate that Microsoft's offering. 39 Comments »

Put some attitude into the Latitude

Advertising and Marketing, Latitude products, Laptops submitted by jervis961 05/04/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**

Dell needs a new Latitude model for people who need a stylish notebook for work but want it to be capable of play activities also. It should have a LED back lit 13.3 inch high resolution/contrast ratio trans reflective screen that swivels like a tablet but without the touch screen (touchscreen could be an upgrade). The option of a non-glossy screen would be available.


Media buttons on the monitor would be helpful for times when the screen is turned around and wouldn't be accidentally pushed when resting the notebook on your lap. A good example would be when you're on a plane watching a movie, the notebook would fit better in this configuration allowing you to see the screen easier.

Dell should use a design like in this leaked photo of an upcoming ultraportable.



It needs to have options like Dual core processor (Quad core when available for mobile), DVD burner, fingerprint reader, SSD, 5-1 card reader(with a cover so the card doesn't fall out), HDMI, Dolby Certified sound as well as a video card that is DX10 with at least 256mb of RAM(perhaps use cards from the Precision line for things like video editing) . It needs to be dual hard drive capable, 2 headphone jacks, built in microphone and the option of a built in camera 2MP or better. A WiFi hot spot finder would be helpful. Don't forget the docking port and gigabit Ethernet. Please, Please, Please do not skimp on bandwidth, only the newest technology please.

A LED light that can illuminate the keyboard in dark rooms and media connect must be standard. I would actually recommend using a black light over the keyboard as the white letters would pop without using a very bright light.



Vista Sideshow could be an option as well. At least a small monochrome screen with basic information so you don't have to power up the system.



I think there would be a large market for this type of system.

The advertising would be a great boost to Dell's image. Showing how your "new L-attitude" has changed your life. I've always looked at the Apple VS PC ads and wondered why can't I have both. I think Dell can supply the notebook that finally brings work and play together in a stylish but professional looking package.

What other options do you think should be added?

Gaming, Laptops submitted by chungng 02/17/07

13.3 ~5 lb Performance Tablet PC with great discrete graphics options (x1700 or GeForce 7700) possibly even upgradable.
Possibly a dual graphics chip option similar to the Sony SZ line to help with battery life.
A nice high res wide viewing angle screen WXGA+ or better option for working with multiple text files
9 Cell (or larger) battery options to get 5+ hours of life
Built in optical drive with swappable drive bay battery options
Latest WiFI (802.11n) and bluetooth
Great keyboard with trackpoint nub and touchpad.
Non-plastic case options. Carbon fiber, magnesium alloy... whatever... just something without the cheapy plastic feel.
Backlit keyboard
All the little extras
- SD card reader
- finger print scanner
- extra usb ports
- firewire
- PCMCIA (for corporate smart card readers) and ExpressCard
