Sell DELL Products on NEWEGG.com

Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Dimension products, Sales Strategies, Desktops and Laptops submitted by thomasp94 Jan 24

I do all my companies IT shopping at 2 places, 90% at NEWEGG and the rest at DELL. Most of the products I buy at dell are monitors, toner, and other accessories. It would be really great if I could buy Dell products at Newegg. It would be more convenitent, it would save on tax and shipping as well. Newegg is also MUCH faster than Dell at shipping, I can usually get my order in 1-2 days after placing it, compared to a week or more from Dell. I'm not really talking about whole systems, more like...
-Monitors
-Speakers
-Accessories
-Printers
-INK & TONER
-Replacement Parts
-Keyboards & Mice 1 Comment »

Explain the customer's hardware choices

Dell Web Site, Sales Strategies submitted by peyre 08/21/07

It would be helpful, especially to less computer-literate customers, to offer explanations for the hardware choices you have available when customizing your computer. This would be especially good for the CPU: telling the difference between Pentium D and Core2 Duo, for instance, and the significance of the Front-Side Bus. The video card section could tell you why you might want an NVidia vs. an ATI vs. the onboard Intel card. That sort of thing.

Also, the pop-ups for Intel and AMD chips aren't very helpful; they read kind of like advertisements for the two chips. A single page that gives basic information on what's different between the two would be much better. 5 Comments »

Linux Printing Solutions

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.

I've tried a lot of different message boards looking for a way to keep that printer, but I'm so frustrated with Dell's lack of Linux support that I have to consider HP, since the LaserJet family is more broadly supported. 53 Comments »
