How IdeaStorm Works:
Accessories (Keyboards, etc.) submitted by gregy 12/12/07 I would like to see a dell notebook with rotate-able webcam so you can see what is in front of you and not only yourself 4 Comments » A computer with an internal clock that can turn it self ON at scheduled times. Environment, New Product Ideas submitted by jmxz 12/11/07
To save power I'd like to turn my computer off or hibernate or suspend it when not in use. Option to disable the bright blue LED indicator lights on Inspiron Notebooks submitted by hornysax 12/16/07
I am currently returning a 1420 laptop I recently purchased. The reason is because the blue LED indicator lights on the front of the laptop are too bright. I have color blindness, and my eyes may have heightened sensitivity to color contrast. Include cleaning and screen protection cloth with laptops Monitors and Displays, Laptops submitted by jkeating 11/02/07 A nice dell branded cleaning cloth should be included with new laptops. This cloth would be used to clean the laptop sceens as well as lay on top of the keyboard when the laptop is closed to protect the screen from keyboard imprints. If a cloth is included it is far more likely that this cloth would be used to clean rather than some other cleaning device which may damage a user's screen. 10 Comments » UMP: Ubuntu Multimedia Package (with legal codecs) Linux submitted by xivulon 12/12/07 A paid-for commercial multimedia package with legal codecs would be a nice addition to the Dell repo. I am not a big fan of closed codecs, but if that is stumbling block for some users, better have Ubuntu + proprietary codecs than a 100% propietary solution. Today the lack of proprietary codecs is probably the single most common compalint against Ubuntu after hardware compatibility. This would close the gap nicely, without forcing proprietary codecs on the ones that do not wish to sponsor them. Plus there might be some money for Dell too. Fluendo provides one such package http://www.fluendo.com/products.php?product=plugins . I did not use it myself, but it could be a nice starting point. 3 Comments » Nvidia Geforce 8800M, Nvidia Geforce 9600M GT ON XPS M1730 & XPS M1330, XPS 1530 XPS products, Laptops submitted by helmecj01 12/11/07 I would like to see the Nvidia Geforce 8800M and Nvidia Geforce 9600M GT ON XPS M1730 & XPS M1330,XPS 1530. 37 Comments » Improve the DELL XPS 1530 this 2008 to attract more consumers that love DELL's Laptop XPS products submitted by bryan14c 12/13/07 Well the specs of the currrent xps 1530 is quite good but it lacks something, DELL consider another option about the screen resolution and WLED and also it lacks 1 USB not like inspiron 1520 it has 4 USB ports i think you should put 4 USB Ports, also the Speakers i think you should put some nice speakers on it like HP done to their pavilion line maybe you should team up with BOSE or LOGITECH or CREATIVE , and also improve your touch sensitive media buttons and i have heard many complaints about the xps 1330 slot load optical drive ,well i don't know if this problem is with an 1530 also , I'm Planning to buy one but it seems that the DELL XPS 1530 right now has a lack of features but well over all its a Very Good Nice Design , and also make the DELL logo at the back of the screen Glow put some led lights on it so that there is kind of touch that you had an XPS laptop like the high end model that it has some lights on the Logo, and the aluminum brushed finish i think you must improve it might consider another material. i hope you should also consider the tuxedo black color to be a GLOSSY FINISH like the HP pavilion , but maintain the design with silver lines as well as it will be glossy also, well over all a Dell has a nice and a Very Good Product and i hope they will apply some of ideas i talk about , the last thing is that Please change the Color of the remote maybe design a remote that its only on a XPS line because the color is boring, well keep it up dell and i hope you will apply this on your DELL XPS 1530 this coming 2008 o hope there is an improvement 21 Comments » Operating Systems, Desktops and Laptops submitted by winoffice Feb 24
(Note to XP and Linux users: I am not against Dell offering XP and Linux as well, but this idea is specifically about Vista.) Need Gigabit Ethernet in M1530. XPS products submitted by hoodedthing 12/06/07
What about Gigabit ethernet...? It's really not new technology, and it's pretty dissappointing not to see it in the m1530. It wouldn't be that hard to implement now.. Just start sticking gigabit ethernet ports in the laptops instead of 10/100. Provide XP Recovery CD's for Vista customers like Lenovo/IBM do. Operating Systems submitted by jmxz 12/07/07
This great idea stolen straight from one of your competitors. Have a Microsoft Windows Vista Business or Microsoft Windows Ultimate system, but need to continue using Microsoft Windows XP for a while? For a limited time Lenovo is providing Windows XP Recovery CD media as a way to downgrade from Windows Vista.4 Comments » Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Desktops, Monitors and Displays submitted by reg 08/07/07 **COMING SOON**
$2500 base price is outrageous for the XT Tablet Latitude products submitted by jervis961 12/11/07
I can't believe Dell would shoot itself in the foot like this. After people waiting so long on Dell's tablet only to get a watered down spec list and huge price tag. Allow for a hardware configurable notebook Laptops submitted by sawjd 12/05/07 Create a note book that allows us to easily switch out hardware and i don't just mean ram or optical drives but something like that allows to switch out video cards and the ability to upgrade processor as long as the motherboard supports it. This would be akin to the HP blackbird but for the notebook 1 Comment » Identify Hardware with native Linux support Linux submitted by waterguy1960 12/07/07 Please identify hardware choices that offer native linux support in the "build yours" options. And provide hardware choices that allow for a configuration that is entirely compatible with linux. This would be much more convenient that a list of linux supported hardware somewhere else on the website. If a computer model cannot be configured with native linux support, say so on the "build yours" page. I don't need or want Dell to install Ubuntu (or any other linux distribution) on a computer for me ... I just need to know that the computer I'm buying supports linux natively. The notebook computer my employer provided me works perfectly with linux. Unfortunately, despite much research before my purchase, not all the hardware on my Dell notebook provides native linux support.

I count 20 Ideas on the first page of the popular Ideas page. I only know the status of one of them and that's the Dell Linux Repository idea. I know it's status because matt_d very kindly keeps us informed. Smaller mouse size for primary students. Accessories (Keyboards, etc.) submitted by dgweh 10/24/07
I have been an elementary school principal in Texas for 15 years and have seen first hand the positive changes that computers and technology has made over the years. The only constant problem over the years that I have seen is the difficulty of the primary grade students (Kindergarten and First grade) being able to manage or control a computer only because of the size of the mouse compared to the size of their hands. Our school has several computer labs (which are Dell computers) and I see on a daily basis the younger students working with keyboarding, instructional software, and other computer skills. A high percentage of questions or concerns from the students has to do with not being able to control the mouse as well as they want to. Yesterday I even noticed a young student using both hands to control the mouse. Expand Dell Outlet - sell second hand, returned, damaged and refurbished computers and components Sales Strategies submitted by badblood 10/04/07
Dell must have a lot of stuff that is broken, damaged, marked, second hand, ready to be refurbished, returned, old, and so on and so forth. I wonder which landfill it all goes to? Why not sell it instead? Why not trade it? Why not start an online flea market for all that stuff? Make CD/DVD drive swappable with an extra HD New Product Ideas submitted by biehl 06/09/07
If the CD/DVD drives uses SATA then it should be a small problem to unplug the CD/DVD drive and plug in some kind of alternative slider which contains an extra hard driver(or solid state drive) which also uses SATA.  track my votes
