The use of webcam for teleconferencing.... makes the wide screens less useful. Linux, Software submitted by bogdano2 05/20/07
How about an Embedded mini-Linux with Firefox browser? No OEM Junk software, revival of recovery DVD/CD's NOT partitions Desktops, Software submitted by mgin2k3 05/20/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
First, I hate it when I buy a computer and right when I turn it on out of the box, it's got a lot of junk software installed (AOL trial, Nortion Anti-Virus trial, etc). Get rid of these trial and non-trial OEM softwares or at least give the customer the option of not having them installed. I end up wasting so much time trying to uninstall all this junk anyways and I'm sure I'm not alone. I like having a clean install when I get a new computer (or when I'm recovering). And by clean I mean Windows (or whatever other OS the user may enjoy) and NOTHING else. Secondary OEM software can be included on a separate disc for the user to select manual installation (or request preinstallation of for new purchase orders). Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), New Product Ideas submitted by fingers 05/20/07
I'm left-handed, just like 10 % of the population. I do a lot of keyboard work ont he computer for my business, so i bought a left-handed keyboard from an online left-handed store. I paid about $100 for a simple keyboard, but it doesn't work very well. Sales Strategies submitted by yank 05/20/07
Plenty of people spend a LOT of time shopping around on Dell's site for a great deal. They trust the brand and haven't the time or interest to build there own PC so when they see a good deal they try and buy that new Dell PC with as few options as they can manage. Service and Support submitted by cpcguy 05/20/07 I've twice priced out a new laptop only to stop at the point where I must select the amount I want to pay for tech support for it. I've owned two dell desktops and I'd like a laptop upgrade but I just can't see having to pay for tech support. 3 Comments » No TPM Chips at all \trusted computing Accessories (Keyboards, etc.) submitted by sonicsteve 05/20/07
The idea is simple, trusted computing is an initiative started Microsoft, HP,IBM, Sun and others that has too much potential for abuse by these powerful companies. While a user control over ride would be OK I believe that having NO TPM chip (on any device, sound board, video, drives etc...) would be better still. Premier Account "My Systems" List(s) Dell Web Site, Service and Support, Simplify IT submitted by jorge 05/20/07
Systems which are own by an Account and were on the account prior to the new upgrade of the Premier Account website should still be listed. Old Serial Numbers are listed in Red (as in information not available) yet Downloads & Drivers are still available for these systems, so Dell still supports the systems but not are no longer listed in the customers personal list. Environmental Laptop Based on Solar Energy/Hydrogen Fuel Cell Environment, Laptop Power submitted by gchakra 02/17/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
What's smart for the environment is smart for Dell. Dell should build units that are degradable or can be easily recycled. Sure, its going to be a little more expensive, but it will be a smart product. It will use a lot less energy. The laptops could have a solar panel or be powered by a hydrogen fuel cell. The first microelectronic implementation of a fuel cell will give Dell a tremendous marketing boost. It will be incredibly popular with kids in college. Laptops, Laptop Power submitted by badblood 05/20/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
MagSafe power connectors, by Apple, are magnetic power connectors that pull out harmlessly when the cord is tripped upon. pre-installed linux ubuntu on desktops and laptops Linux, Operating Systems, Desktops and Laptops submitted by fra9000 02/20/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**
i think linux will be the future...so please make some model-line of desktops and laptops with ubuntu linux pre-installed... thanks 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!) Education, Sales Strategies submitted by cnmopt 02/18/07 **ALREADY OFFERED** Similar to Apple, Dell should offer students a special discount on Dell Products. The Apple market share is currently growing in the education sector and offering [college] students a discount would be useful to counter Apple's strategy. 42 Comments » Environment submitted by adrian 02/01/07 **REVIEWED**
Environmental concern and sustainability are today real issues with consumers and voters in many of Dell's markets. It looks as if a genuine commitment to reducing carbon and cleaning up their footprint will become a more important factor for companies wanting to strengthen consumer loyalty in the coming years. Laptops submitted by gautam 02/16/07 **IMPLEMENTED**
The XPS and E series notebooks are great, but a move into making 12.1 and 14.1 inch tablet PC convertible notebooks would be fantastic. I can easily see the m1210 and the e1405 being ported to the tablet medium. The Clutter Is Forming: We Need A Moderator Dell Community, IdeaStorm submitted by googideas 02/17/07 **IMPLEMENTED**
Approximately 48 hours into its life, and Ideastorm is filling up with repetition and senseless comments. Since moderation cannot be exercised by the participants a moderator a la Dell Employee must put up her hand. Or his hand. We aren't picky! Website Dedicated to Linux Support for all Dell Model Computers Dell Web Site, Linux, Service and Support submitted by jthurst 02/19/07 **ALREADY OFFERED**
A website that dedicated to Linux On Dell. Recommendations for xorg.conf file configurations and power management configuration/drivers. It would be great if Dell would dedicate some resources to Linux Support on Dell. When I think of what laptop to buy I think about which Vendor is the most Linux friendly or else what Makes and Model's seem to be working out best for Linux users. Dell laptops seem to have a lot of new powerful hardware that's tough getting Linux to work well on it. For example, the drivers/modules for getting the power management features to work and the Alps/Synaptic drivers and configuration tools is also tricky. The X-windows monitor and graphics card detection and auto-configuration doesn't work well on many Dell Models. Dell has an opportunity to do a lot for the Linux community and in turn the Linux community could do a lot for Dell. I used to have a Dell D600 and now have a Dell 620 and I'm always spending weeks trying to get everything to work properly. 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... Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by terrymain 02/16/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**
All new laptops should have a built in web cam and quality voice recorder/microphone.  track my votes
