Standardize Power Cables for Laptops

Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by badblood 08/27/07 **UNDER REVIEW**

Nothing is more annoying than laptop power cables that are not interchangeable from one computer model to another or from one brand of computer to another. Power cables have been standardized on most electrical applicances, including desktop computers for decades.

Make an effort to promote and implement standard power cables for laptops.

No Limits! Make **all** choices available **anywhere** in the world

Sales Strategies submitted by mrw 09/16/07

First example: The Germans are second class customers, because they don't get the same choices for Ubuntu Laptops as in the USA. We here in Switzerland are even third class customers, because we do not get an Ubuntu Laptop at all.

Other example: The choices I can make for a notebook depends on how I walked through your shop! Sometimes for the same Model, I can chose a low end Harddisk, sometimes not. That's absolutely ridiculous! Please allow any possible hardware combination!

Allow to select any matching hard disk in any laptop (or desktop)! Allow to setup any kind of memory, especially e.g. one(!) 2GB module instead of two 1GB modules, give the choice for between either a mirroring display or an anti-glare display for any available display size and resolution. If technically possible, allow to choose between NVidia and ATI, and allow to chose the Memory of the card. Allow to completely deselect the operating system and all kind of installed software.

First: Make all offers available anywhere in the world!

Second: Do not limit the possible combinations!

Shouldn't the customer be king? Let us all choices! 34 Comments »

Introduce discount coupons for all markets worldwide

Advertising and Marketing, Inspiron products, Sales Strategies submitted by virtuoso 06/30/07

As much as i am delighted to see that the prices of dell products in India are quite similar to those in countries like USA and Canada , providing special coupon codes which are valid only in these countries is something i consider to be very unfair to customers in india and other markets without such coupons. It is very disheartening to see that there are such good discount coupons (like the recent $350 off on the latest inspirons) which are available to only selected markets and this may prove to be a decisive factor in a customer's decision to go with a competing brand.

I commend Dell for acting on the suggestions given by consumers and wish this practice continues. I sincerely hope that this request will be considered and acted upon as soon as possible. Comment »
