O.K. 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 » Monitors and Displays submitted by drew08867 06/28/07 Dell should transition all monitors to LED back lighting. More cost effective (in terms of energy use), greener, longer life. 10 Comments » Hire someone that knows gaming PCs so you don't have to ask... Gaming submitted by pattyboy Mar 11
spend some time on the HardOCP forums, or the Tom's Hardware forums, and find someone that really knows what they are talking about and then hire them to consult. I doubt that it would cost much, shunt some free hardware their way and I'm sure they would be ecstatic. Offer the 1 kilowatt powersupply on ALL XPS desktops Dell, Desktops, XPS products submitted by maverick4ever 08/23/07
Why is Dell still offering the 750 watt power supply on the XPS line? If one decides to have a pair of high end GPU's in his PC, he will need a bigger PSU. I think it's so stupid how Dell continuously ''discriminates'' the black XPS desktop line. They are always the last to get new parts options and in some cases don't get them at all. Gaming, Sales Strategies, XPS products submitted by darkness_flame May 4
Personally, I like the XPS 630; it's only a few hundred more than making a similar computer yourself, but it has a really nice case, is put together for you, and comes under warranty. However, I would really like to see more options available on this computer, as well as some changes made. Monitors and Displays, New Product Ideas submitted by badblood Mar 2
When you eventually get round to making an ultra mobile PC, make the screen at least 10 inches, not 7. Pre-load OS on Replacement Hard Drives Operating Systems, Servers and Storage submitted by rperritt May 2 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**
When a Hard Drive fails on a Dell system and Dell replaces the hard drive with a new one, this is great. But often the end user is left re-installing the OS. Many novice users may do a poor job of this. Dell should have an image for that user (even if it is only an OS without any other licensed software) and have it already on the replacement drive. This way the user only needs to physically install the drive (or the tech can do it). The OS will just boot. Surly the additional features in Vista will allow you to do this in a cost effecent maner?

Put a small unique key on computers to lock and unlock them and to start them. Something to enhance security. Order linux on Dell from any part of world Linux, Laptops submitted by zigcatus Apr 11

see comment from Erik down below... [Dell's Pricing Team] Add higher screen resolution to all home & home office laptops Monitors and Displays, Laptops submitted by ccpljat Apr 25 I have been using a used [another brand's] business laptop that has a high screen resolution. The cheaper Inspiron laptops can only go up to 1280x800. I cannot be productive on a screen that small any more. At least bump it up to 1440x900 or equivalent. I have basically been forced to shop in the Small Business section to find an affordable computer with a higher screen resolution. 4 Comments » Desktops submitted by class2008 05/25/07 Dell should begin producing all 64 bit pc's. WIth rumors of Windows Vista being the last OS available in 32 bit, they should get consumers ready with 64 bit pc's, at reasonable prices. 50 Comments » Dell: join in! Offer a low-cost Linux PC!

It appears Dell remains afraid of Microsoft... and here is an answer we haven't heard from Dell on IdeaStorm: Have Firefox pre-installed as default browser Software submitted by robinjfisher 02/19/07 **REVIEWED**
Does what it says on the tin! Most people only use IE because they aren't aware of other browsers - they think Internet Explorer is the Internet! What would really drive take up of alternative browsers is if Firefox was pre-installed as the default browser so that when people look for the "Internet" in Windows, they are using FF. Do not scale back build-to-order systems Desktops and Laptops submitted by masterr Apr 5 **ALREADY OFFERED**
Today in the news I read that Dell "is moving away from its build-to-order model to reduce costs. Dell is limiting the degree to which buyers can dictate specifications while expanding its line of prepackaged models". Please do not do this. The options build-to-order system is what sets Dell above some of the competition. By scaling this back and removing customization choices you remove some of the appeal of buying a Dell machine online. Please do not scale this back. Make Linux and no Operating system standard options on all future products Operating Systems submitted by jervis961 08/17/07 **REVIEWED**
OK Dell you have committed to supplying Linux options in limited form. Since you have laid the groundwork already here is the next step. Every new product you release that needs an Operating system should have Linux and also no Operating System as an option in the configuration along side Windows. Since you have to write drivers and test compatability for Vista when making a new product just make it compatable with Linux at the same time. There will no longer be a need for a seperate sections for Linux or no Operating system since all of the products will have the option. this will help make your site easier to navigate for you customers. You can also create an ACCURATE help me choose section for the OS choices. Software submitted by ootleman 02/16/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**
Would love the ability to have a clean Vista install. No AOL software, no earthlink software, no google software - just a clean, original OS.  track my votes
