Biodegradable Packing material Environment submitted by ewagnerjr2000 04/19/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
When I received my 32" lcd screen it had an extremely large amount of Styrofoam. Dell is working to be environmentally friendly, maybe they should consider a better packing material at least one that will biodegrade. Give Dell employees BETTER SALARIES so they can experience the customer Dell submitted by badblood 06/04/07
Apparently Dell employees don't get enough discounts on Dell products. So it's time to give Dell employees BETTER SALARIES so they will more frequently buy Dell computers and can experience the customer experience... Environment, Desktops and Laptops submitted by zgamer 06/05/07
This is in focus to purchasing multiple desktops and notebooks. Advertising and Marketing, Linux submitted by mistern 06/04/07
Even when buying computers with Windows pre-installed, many people would like to know if their computer would be fully compatible with Linux. Of course, this logo would have to be specific to a very certain distribution of Linux, I would suggest Ubuntu 7.04 (or the latest version of it). Don't limit Ubuntu sales (like the media's reporting you are doing) Linux, Sales Strategies submitted by jmxz 05/08/07 From: http://techiqmag.com/2007/05/08/dell-limits-ubuntu-linux-sales/ If you’re planning to load up on Dell’s new Ubuntu Linux systems for a corporate department or small business, Dell may have a surprise for you. As the old saying goes, read the fine print. Yeah, I know the article mentions you have similar limitations on Windows Home machines -- but don't limit the Ubuntu sales for small-businesses. It's not clear from the article if you intend to do that or not. 8 Comments » Use Less Packaging Materials than Any Other Company Environment submitted by jerseyshore 06/05/07 **REVIEWED**
It may not be as exciting, but become the leader in using less packaging for every purchase made....less cardboard.....better packing.....and more Fix the BIOS to enable HIBERNATE & SUSPEND Linux, Service and Support submitted by cement_head 05/03/07
Three major priorities should be addressed for the adoption of Ubuntu 7.04: Environment submitted by badblood 06/05/07 **IMPLEMENTED**
Ban from products Laptops submitted by kdickensheets 05/21/07 Why not have cooling for laptops draw air from the sides and exhaust through the back rather than the bottom. Travelers often put their laptop on their hotel beds or sit them on their laps on airplanes usually blocking the fan opening make the unit overheat. My wife often leaves hers running on the bed and it heats up because of lack of proper air circulaton. 13 Comments » Remove metallic Windows sticker Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by bastos 02/21/07
The unremovable metallic "Vista capable" or "Designed for XP" sticker serves no purpose as soon as the laptop is in use by the end-user. Dell should design its notebooks to be sleek, stylish and simple -- and a permanent stickers is the exact opposite. This is (in part) why Apple sells the most stylish laptops, and why the one you buy is never as nice as the one you see in the promotional-pictures (no stickers!) Apply an Energy Star Rating System to your Products Environment submitted by badblood 05/18/07
Everyone has a role to play in protecting the environment. Choosing an energy efficient appliance is one way to do this while saving money. Apply a star rating for all your products, which rates their energy consumption and ability to be recycled. Linux, Printers and Ink, Service and Support submitted by jfelisky 02/21/07
I have a Dell 3100cn laser printer, which was a nice purchase until I dropped Windows XP and moved to OpenSuSE on my home computer. Actually promote Desktop Linux Advertising and Marketing, Desktops, Linux submitted by mrvertigo 05/10/07
Dell offered desktop Linux once but seemingly did not market it as much as it could have, the company did not make money on a Linux desktop and decided to stop offering it, this is one reason that dell needs to effectively market its newest offertings Linux submitted by fkr 06/04/07 It's almost 2 weeks now, care to share how the linux sales are doing? 6 Comments » Software submitted by fgarpe 02/26/07
Don't put DRM hardware or software in any Ubuntu on 12.1 or 13.3 inch laptops Linux, Laptops submitted by miceagol 05/31/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**
Preload Ubuntu on your 12.1 (XPS M1210) or 13.3 inch (XPS M1330) laptops. As it is now, there's only one choice for a laptop, and that choice is not a light laptop. The 12.1 inch and 13.3 inch laptops are much better to carry around than heavy 15 inch++ laptops. Have Ubuntu loaded machines on display at Dell Direct Stores Linux, Sales Strategies submitted by joeevil5000 05/31/07 If Dell is pushing for alternitve OS's to get in the mainstream, they should show them to thier customers in action. There should be at least one machine running Ubuntu at every Dell Direct Store kiosk. That way, dell sales reps can show it to customers, and compare it to Windows as to what it can do. Dell gets customers from computer savvy geeks, to the computer illiterate grandma, but thier core consumer is the computer illiterate. They are more than likely going to want to go with a Windows system, because it's what they have heard of, and known about for so many years, but, it will let them know that Windos is'nt the ONLY OS there is. Simply put, by displaying Ubuntu, people will get to know that it exists, and what it is, and spread the word. 4 Comments » Dell recommends, Ubuntu, like did with Windows Vista! Dell Web Site, Linux submitted by oagostinho 05/29/07 I'll be very glad if Dell recommends Ubuntu too, like do with Windows Vista! Why not? Think about it! Ubuntu is the best open-source operating system out there for us!! See Ya!! Orlando Agostinho, Computer Engineer, Lisbon/Portugal 25 Comments » Remove: "Dell recommends Windows Vista™..." from any publication Advertising and Marketing submitted by tho.meier 02/21/07
It would be nice to see advertising without any Micro$oft, from Dell. I think there is enough advertising for MS from MS it self. See only Linux compatible components when building your own system Dell Web Site, Linux submitted by frozenfire 05/03/07 It would be nice when building you own system on the Dell site, you can tick a box and then it doesn't show the components that aren't Linux compatible. 3 Comments »  track my votes
