How IdeaStorm Works:
Nothing beats a hardware wheel for volume control! Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Desktops and Laptops submitted by wheelie Apr 22 A simple request – an old fashioned analogue wheel for volume control for every computer with speakers. Fiddling with software volume controls [beep beep beep beep…] is a miserable experience and even hardware button controls are limited – the increments are usually too big or small for a given audio file. Reinvent the wheel! 3 Comments » Media Bays for expanability on all laptop lines Laptop Power submitted by sykosoft Apr 22 Not so long ago, nearly all Dell laptops had media bays (nearly all of the inspiron, latitude, and precision models). Expandability is one of the reason I come back to Dell again and again. Instead of having to purchase a new laptop to add a blu-ray (or whatever comes next) drive, I simply purchase the media bay device. Similarly, no matter how good battery life becomes, a single battery will NEVER be able to last as long as 2 batteries. 2 will always be more than 1. (rumor has it the e-series won't have a media bay battery, this would be very unfortunate!) 5 Comments » Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Price cut in Half, Dell needs to pass this on to customers Sales Strategies submitted by hal2001 Apr 22 I think most of us who post here are smart shoppers and are going to be watching to see what Dell will do with this Intell price cut . Dell could play the Intell ball that's in there court now and bring back Dell sales and be a winner for the customer to. Let's see if price cuts start posting on their web site. Faster processors at lower cost equal better sales and happy customers. 4 Comments » Desktops submitted by goose1927 Apr 22 Dell should offer the Mini ITX EC280 to US and Canada consumers. Its the perfect Mini-platform computer that would benefit many office users and basic home users, Ubuntu would be perfect for this machine and its an awesome price point for a basic no frills PC or even a 2nd basic PC for the kids, you could even use some of Intels newer ITX formatted motherboards in there that support core 2 notebook processors for added performance, using the gm965's in a market that would appreciate the small form factor... Plus the form factor uses a great deal less for power then its big bulky desktop equivalents and would help your green movement.

O.K. comments? Offer NVIDIA's new chipset in your systems Desktops and Laptops submitted by jervis961 Apr 23
NVIDIA is releasing a new single-chip integrated chipset for "small form factor" notebooks. Introduce a "No Component" Option When Customizing Environment, Service and Support submitted by fahdriyami Apr 23
Intoduce an option to not choose a PC component especially for the XPS Desktop Range, most of Gaming Consumers have already built a PC before and have some of the essential components already, for example, i already have a compatible Intel processor and want my Dell shipped without a processor to save money. a "No Component" limit should also be applied, and not all components should have this option. Talking from a business point of view, this could reduce electronic waste in the long run, however it could also reduce sales of the components which could upset manufacturers... Printers and Ink submitted by bapepper2 Apr 23
If you want to capture the printer market consider focusing on the construction market (the largest industry in the nation). My wish list: Desktops submitted by shadow010 Apr 23 Simply put, if you compare prices of the optiplex systems with xeon processors with processors from newegg you see that Dell prices most of the exact same processors $200 higher than newegg. 2 Comments » Show Max Specs in System Descriptions Desktops and Laptops submitted by dfrandin Apr 23
It would make research on ordering Dell systems if the maximum values of RAM, hard drive size etc, were shown on the system description pages. A good example of what I'm talking about: The Optiplex 755, shows on the memory section, "Up to 4.0GB DDR2 Non-ECC SDRAM, 800MHz, (4DIMM)". However, if you take the time to read the online Optiplex service manual, you find that the system supports Dell submitted by jervis961 Apr 23
There is a rumor out that Dell is trying to buy Radio Shack. Parts & Spares and compatibility Dell Web Site submitted by pjb1008 Apr 24
When trying to get accessories for Dell laptops (eg. docking station, external CD drive etc), it is difficult to work out what I need to buy - I get lots of results back, but I need to go into the description of each one separately to work out which one is appropriate for my laptop. I want to enter a service tag, and then see only the compatible equipment. Single SKU, single price for components across all Dell systems. Sales Strategies submitted by vitalsupport Apr 23
Make prices for individual components that are the same between systems across your various lines the same. For example the 2-button optical mouse costs $14 when purchased with an Optiplex system but only $9 with a Vostro or Dimension. There are others like a DVD-ROM/CDRW on a server costs $99 but the same device on an Optiplex costs $27. Processors have even more widely varying prices. Discounts for schools when parents buy Dell computers for their child Sales Strategies submitted by jervis961 Apr 24 Dell currently gives a percentage off a Dell system to college students but not middle and high school ones. I say give the same discounts to middle and high school student's parents but with a twist. Offer a deal where parents get the same price as the regular Dell site and the discount goes to their child's school to purchase new computers. You could even extend the deal out to everyone who buys a Dell system to select a school for the money to be applied to. 11 Comments » Ordering computers on Dell Premier - how to choose which monitor Dell Web Site submitted by pjb1008 Apr 24
When ordering a computer on the Dell Premier site, it needs to be easier to find out about the accessories actually are. This is particularly noticeable when selecting a TFT to go with the computer - the product description doesn't include the screen resolution! Currently, I have to write down the product name and then feed the names to Google to see the product pages. Let us rate Ideas on a scale of 1-10 instead of just up/down. IdeaStorm submitted by jmxz Apr 24
Most of the Ideas on IdeaStorm are good. Few are great. So very often I find myself reading an idea and thinking "yeah, that's kinda good and it'd be nice if Dell did this; but I sure hope it wouldn't distract them from the even better ideas". Linux, Desktops and Laptops submitted by darkproteus66 Apr 24 Dell should actively contribute to Ubuntu and other open source projects either financially or through software. 12 Comments » Monitors and Displays, XPS products submitted by winekfam Apr 24 Please provide the option of a higher pixal Led/lcd display for the 1530. Right now we have to choose fewer pixals or brighter display. Many people who would upgrade their screen would want both. 7 Comments » xp operating system offered on all products Operating Systems, Desktops and Laptops submitted by winekfam Apr 24 I would like to have the option to buy windows xp on the xps 1530. We have vista on two computers and donot like the system. 4 Comments » Dell laptop design needs refining Laptops submitted by mattbambow Apr 24 Grey and black is no longer has the cache it once had, wouldn't it be better for Dell to take a slightly alternative approach on some laptops by creative cutting-edge, bespoke styled laptops for consumers. Laptops could be designed in terms of look and feel by those within the Dell Ideastorm, or designers themselves similar to the way that Sky+ has outsourced design to be able to charge a premium. 1 Comment »  track my votes
