How IdeaStorm Works:
Make Laptops more Durable & Water Resistant Laptops submitted by jrhoesly 04/23/07 Dell need to make all of their laptops more resistant to fluids and accidental spills. (keyboard, ports, etc.) Dell should really come out with a line of extremely ruggedized and high performance laptops and tablet pc's to complete with the Panasonic Toughbook. 8 Comments » Software, Desktops and Laptops submitted by richhannon 04/23/07
Please stop putting all the junk software on new Dell systems, it takes me many hours and a lot of work to take it off before I send the Dell to my client. I only order Dell systems, desktops and laptops, for clients and I make no money doing so and the extra time to get rid of the garbage useless LITE versions of all the software comes out of my pocket. Most of it doesn't work anyway. Give Chat Sales/Support some authority... Service and Support submitted by giorgiog 04/14/07
Everytime I have even a question that isn't in their standard script, sales & support refer me to call customer support. What's the point? It's antagonizing. Sponser the Linux Indy 500 car Advertising and Marketing, Sales Strategies submitted by steveoc 04/15/07

Can DELL add a option or standard a LED light in the Latitude portable that you see better you keyboard when you need your portable on darker places. Promote the advancement and involvement of women in computer use and design Education submitted by badblood 04/16/07
In the United States, the number of women represented in engineering and information technology peaked in the late 1980s. Since then, the percentage of women in the computing profession declined from 35.2% in 1990 to 28.4% in 2000. In computer science in particular, there has been a dramatic drop in women earning bachelor's degrees. A report from the Computing Research Association indicated that the number recently fell below 20%, from nearly 40% in the mid 80s. Research has shown that many misperceptions about computing persist and may discourage women. Did "Microsoft kill Dell Linux" as the media reported in 2002 Advertising and Marketing, Linux submitted by jmxz 04/17/07
The "idea" in this one is for Dell to explain both the history and the present lack of action. "Published Tuesday 19th March 2002 10:35 GMT.Microsoft used to bully IBM in a similar way: http://www.theregister.co.uk/1999/06/10/cut_a_deal_or_you/ "From about 20 July, IBM found it was completely cut off from access to Windows 95 code, and could not continue with development of models incorporating Windows 95Though IBM didn't take well to being bullied and worked to make Linux a viable alternative in case they were threatened again. It makes you wonder if Microsoft did it to Dell again this time. Back in February Dell said " It’s exciting to see the IdeaStorm community’s interest in open source solutions like Linux and OpenOffice. " By March there was a lot of talk but little action save for talk of certifications on a few business machines (latitudes). In April - a deafening silence. All the while, though, Dell's been selling Linux Inspirons in China ( http://www.ideastorm.com/article/show/65270 ) - so it's not technical problems holding them back. Even if the sell the exact same china model here it would be a big step forward - I don't doubt the community could quickly post ways to set the language preferences to English. Something's holding Dell back - what could it be? So it's a two part IdeaStorm idea:
Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by glpage 04/13/07 Several laptops (such as the Inspiron E1705) have 17 inch screens and are 15+ inches wide yet they have the same narrow, compressed keyboard as smaller laptops. Why not put a more "normal" sized keyboard in the wider laptops? 5 Comments » Broadband and Mobility submitted by kcobley 04/08/07 There is a remarkable absence of inbuilt broadband modems in PC's with the exception of some wifi's. It's about time there was a desktop solution for bradband modems as the modem on the desk is a major nuisance!

Glare and reflection from high glare screens, screen frames, and notebook computers is annoying and distract from function and use. Laptops submitted by tpjoseph 02/21/07
Since notebooks are larger and have plenty of unused space below the keyboard and to the right of the touchpad, can we make a few models with a numeric keypad? Track Stick / Trackpoint / Pointing stick / "nipple" is a MUST HAVE New Product Ideas, Desktops and Laptops submitted by keylime 02/20/07
As a CTO I am having to force our procurement department to supplement Dell with HP as our supplier of systems partly because Dell does not include a proper cursor positioning device on its laptops. XPS products, Laptops submitted by shienarier 02/19/07 I love the design of the M2010, but i think it's a bit big. Hardly portable. How about a smaller version? Perhaps a 17"? I don't like a notebook that ways so much i can't even take it with me on the plane without having to pay extra for the weight. 5 Comments » A better 17" 1440x900 Anti-glare (non glossy) screen and a black-silver design. Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Inspiron products, Monitors and Displays submitted by pmb 02/27/07
I have severals 17" inspirons 9200-9400 notebooks and the "ultrasharp"-dimm screen stinks. In think it's a good idea to have a "middle-cost" professional alternative with a really good anti-glare (non-glossy!) screen. I not a gammer and for works we need a 17" notebooks, why don't sell a Latitude o similar 17" bussiness oriented laptop at decent price (not the overpriced M90 workstation, please!) A truly rugged 17" Desktop Replacement Gaming/AV Notebook Desktops, Gaming submitted by odysseus 02/17/07
I'd like to see a truly rugged 17" desktop replacement Gaming / Audio-Video editing notebook. One with a real tough outer metal shell (not plastic); durable full-sized keyboard; high-end graphics card; first-class high quality sound-card (not codec); larger better sounding, higher powered speakers (10 watts to the sub-woofer, and 5 watts main); audio and video INPUTS (Stereo not the Mono in current models) and outputs; a provision for 2 hard drives that could be configured as separate volumes or RAID: at least 2 firewire-800 ports that actually work as intended (unlike the current ones which are useless); and a choice of either WXGA+ with TrueLife or WUXGA with TrueLife screens, and optical drive. A built-in analog-digital TV and radio tuner should be available as an option (not a plug-in external unit) as well as a remote. Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by z_darius 02/20/07
HP, Acer, Toshiba and a bunch of others offer it. HP has even an option of dual HDD. 17" laptops have quite a bit of space inside to pack a lot of goodies. Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by narbeh 02/17/07 There is a huge unused space between the keyboards of 17" notebooks of dell and their side edges, so i think it's better to have a numeric keypad with the keyboard. 1 Comment » Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by nms 02/19/07 17" laptops with a full keyboard 5 Comments »  track my votes
