http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/Displays/productdetail.aspx?c=us&... 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... Dell's Website must work with Firefox running on Linux Dell Web Site, Linux submitted by qgonjon 07/16/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
It's discouraging to have a Tier 1 vendor (Dell) selling Linux products and yet not really tailoring to Linux. Don't get me wrong Dell, I am not trying to take away all the good you have done. Offering Linux is a step in the right direction and I would like to see more steps taken in a monthly or quarterly basis. But, it seems that the basis for your current Linux promotion is for the Open Source enthusiast like me. I use Linux at home and at work as my main operating system. I use Firefox as my browser and I'm trying to order a Dell Inspiron 1420N. However, it seems that the embedded flash script that shows the different colors choices for the Inspiron is not working under Linux. It also shows that I can't see the different images thereafter. It works with Windows running Firefox as my vmware machine verified. But that is not the type of user that will most likely purchase a Linux laptop. Light up keyboards for business laptops Precision Workstations submitted by derricktwo Jun 24 I'm fortunate enough to have made it in this industry without really knowing how to type. I can type fairly fast, but I have to look at the keys while I'm doing so. I highly doubt I am the only person that needs to do this. I noticed that the Alienware notebooks have an option to add a light up keyboard. I think this would a great feature to have on Dells business class laptops. This would allow people to work in bed without needing to turn on the lights, or during night flights for a business trip. Comment » Don't put the Dell logo upside down on the Mini Inspiron Laptops submitted by jervis961 May 29
I didn't notice this last night as I was checking out the pictures of the new Dell Mini but it was pointed out by JamesWeb on Dell's "yourblog" that the Dell logo is upside down. GeForce 9M series of laptop GPUs on Dell XPS laptop XPS products, Laptop Power submitted by helmecj01 Jun 3
Put Ubuntu on the list of operating systems when building a PC! Linux, Sales Strategies, Desktops and Laptops submitted by samb0057 08/10/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
Ubuntu is hidden in a dark corner of the website. I work in IT support, and I have a client who was having virus problems a little while ago. I fixed the problem by installing Ubuntu on their PC. Very recently they called me asking for advice on a new computer, I told them about your new offer providing Ubuntu pre-installed on PCs and they wanted to purchase, but could not find the section on your site (this person is a very basic user, doesn't know what open-source means, probably didn't even see the open source link). There is no way they would have found your Ubuntu section on their own. Monitors and Displays, Laptop Power submitted by yardsale Jan 16 I dont know why dell hasnt done this yet. switch all monitors on desktops and notebooks to LED. did you know that you can run an LED screen at full brightniess and it uses less power than a LCD monitor at the lowest brighting level?!? its cheaper, its energy efficent, and it needs to be done! promote this, if you demote i wanna know why! 63 Comments » Stop Overcharging on Notebook RAM Sales Strategies, Laptops submitted by realskript 08/28/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
Dell really... REALLY need to stop overcharging... and when i say overcharing... i mean atleast double what you would pay to pick up the ram yourself. Please make Ubuntu XPS Notebook cheaper than XPS Vista Notebook Linux, Operating Systems, XPS products submitted by dki May 26
Hi, 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. Environment submitted by falbert May 22
In the last shipment of computers I received I was shocked by the amount of plastic wrap used for items like power cords, USB cables, VGA/DVI cables. Do these items really need to be individually wrapped in a plastic bag. I can just imagine the tons of plastic used by Dell annually... Accessories (Keyboards, etc.) submitted by dante20007 08/24/07 they should integrate a webcam and a microphone on each computer like apple. 1 Comment » More detailed hardware specs when building a computer Service and Support, Desktops and Laptops submitted by bbr 08/24/07
Like a number of other users, i like to mix and match a system, but with the ease of a system put together by dell. Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Desktops and Laptops submitted by guyincognito 08/24/07
Please could you add an option for slot loading optical drives on all your systems? Align touchpad on 17" notebooks under numeric keypad Laptops submitted by lorax1284 08/24/07
That puts the touchpad out of the way (not under the users wrists when they're typing) and positions it more like a real mouse on a desktop pc configuration. This 1 watt (1/10 watt when Idle) CPU does look interesting. Environment, Servers and Storage submitted by jmxz 08/26/07
Yes, I know all the other VIA CPU ideas seem to be voted down, but this 1-watt (1/10 watt when idle) 500MHz CPU looks very promising. VIA also apparently has the most power-efficient motherboard. =================================================== Dell - please stay focused on the highest-voted ideas, though. Don't distract yourselves with this one until you've addressed these ideas which have been the top-ranked ideas for many months without adequate responses..
DELL Please please give us the QX6800 SOON!!! Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Sales Strategies submitted by ptcase 07/25/07 Intel just announced that the QX6800 is the first of its chips that iare unlocked from the factory to allow overclocking. 6 Comments » FREE baby hamster with each new Dell Sales Strategies submitted by reg 07/25/07 **NOT LIKELY**
