Linux, Laptops submitted by chrisrose.chrisrose 02/20/07 Boy, I sure would like to see a laptop shipped with linux. 13 Comments » Linux, Operating Systems submitted by moseby 02/20/07
The first major PC vendor that provides a product line and an online ordering system that allows me to shop and configure machines that are assured of having 100% support by linux wins my business. Dual boot with peoplefriendly free software Operating Systems - Multiboot, Software submitted by jan 02/28/07 Multi-boot OS as an ordering option.... and a competitive edge for Dell Operating Systems - Multiboot, Sales Strategies submitted by stevebaumann 02/25/07
One of the reasons that Linux has not gained more traction on the desktop, is that none of the major PC/laptop manufacturers has really gotten on board supporting one or more of the Linux distributions with <font>good</font> drivers and software support. New Product Ideas, Laptops submitted by kauaian 02/23/07
Make a laptop than can be bolted under a home kitchen cabinet to be used with wireless keyboard and mouse. The display should be able to pivot or the view flipped. Or, maybe design mounting hardware because I may want to use the same laptop somewhere else in the home. Dont ship SONIC Software anymore Software submitted by xelarellum 02/20/07 The last notebooks we bought had only Sonic software for CD/DVD burning and ripping installed. And Sonic software kept asking for registration, tried to contact software vendor (you will see this happen if you install a Personal firewall) and such things usually associated with AdWare. Comment » Better design for Notebooks with no visible labels & stickers! Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by jordy 02/27/07
Please give me shiny clean Dell machine made by top industrial designer, with no sticker or labels, it so simple! Operating Systems, Sales Strategies submitted by jonest 02/26/07 Offer buyers the ability to order a pc with no OS installed, even when choosing Windows as their OS. Include base installation disc's to let them install what they want, when they want with less adware/malware installed. Make DELL support software an optional secondary installation on it's own, clearly marked, disc. 1 Comment » Dell, Software submitted by arclight 02/23/07 Make a Dell project fork of Open Office called "Dell Open Office". Changes could include integration with Dell contact information and links to ideastorm where DOO users can post ideas on the project. 1 Comment » Nessun sistema operativo preinstallato submitted by kaleida 02/20/07 Per gli italiani: nessun sistema operativo preinstallato, a scelta ognuno si installa quello che gli pare, tra le opzioni deve apparire, semmai una distribuzione Linux tra le principali, sicuramente deve essere possibile "non scegliere obbligatoriamente" Windows. Comment » Advertising and Marketing, Linux submitted by solifugus 03/01/07
I understand that Dell supplies demand, but is not in the business of making demand. That is reasonable. I also understand that the market for pre-install Linux systems is a fragmented market, in terms of individual choices of distribution. Environment, Sales Strategies submitted by dibi58 02/28/07

Hey Dell, Linux submitted by coiledwire 02/28/07
I think ...we were dreaming...Linux is not mature enough OS yet ...but then again it will never be if PC manufacturer never support it.."chicken or egg situation" Gaming, Linux submitted by tm24fan 02/28/07
Lots of us have used a computer purpose-built for gaming. However, not all of us like to use Windows. A great option would be to have a system with Linux pre-installed (say, Ubuntu for its extreme expandability), native Linux drivers for all the high-performance hardware, and a compatibility layer such as Cedega included. Yes, of course, there is always Wine, but commercial products such as Cedega seem to do better as far as emulating Windows on Linux boxes. A Line of Linux Only Computers for Old People Linux, Desktops and Laptops submitted by aoeui 02/17/07 The main advantage of Windows over Linux is it's running of certain third party applications such as games, none of which as a general principle old people actually have a use for. The advantage of Linux over Windows is it's stability, security, and cheapness, all of which old people love in a computer. Thus, selling said old people a line of computers with the Linux OS only makes sense. 15 Comments » Offer a Linux Media Center system Linux, Desktops and Laptops submitted by jontheisguy 02/21/07
Dear sirs, Internet Laptop Design Contest Advertising and Marketing, Laptops submitted by mucho 02/16/07 In order to get direct input from Dell customers, and tie more closely with consumer trends, why not sponsor a contest over the internet to design a line of laptops for home/consumer use? This would tie into Dell's philosophy of direct relationships. So the new laptop would not only be built specifically for you, but also DESIGNED directly by Dell customers. Of course, designs would have to be reviewed by Dell engineers to be sure that they are technically feasible and can be built within cost constraints, etc... Seems like this could be a very cool way to design a new generation of home/consumer laptops thru collaboration directly with Dell customers. 9 Comments » Linux Hardware Compatibility List Dell Web Site, Linux submitted by s3indiana 02/20/07 **IN PROGRESS**
Create a listing of Dell hardware that's compatible with the major Linux distributions (Fedora, OpenSuse, ubuntu, Freespire) providing compatibility with not just systems (desktops and laptops) but include peripherals (printers, camera's, flash drives, compatible routers, etc.). Include levels of compatibility so the reviewer can make an educated choice. This would provide the greatest assistance for those looking at alternatives... pre-installed linux ubuntu on desktops and laptops Linux, Operating Systems, Desktops and Laptops submitted by fra9000 02/20/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**
