Pre-Installed OpenOffice | alternative to MS Works & MS Office Software, Desktops and Laptops submitted by dhart 02/17/07
Sell Linux PCs Worldwide - not only the United States Linux, Sales Strategies, Desktops and Laptops submitted by ergo 05/02/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**
Dell has now decided to sell computers with Linux pre-installed. GREAT MOVE! But for the moment, it only concerns the US... Here outside the US, we can't wait to buy a pre-installed Linux Dell PC! Please sell Linux PCs worldwide! Environment submitted by badblood 06/05/07 **IMPLEMENTED**
Ban from products Use Less Packaging Materials than Any Other Company Environment submitted by jerseyshore 06/05/07 **REVIEWED**
It may not be as exciting, but become the leader in using less packaging for every purchase made....less cardboard.....better packing.....and more Save Power. Be innovative. Make 80plus compliant systems. Accessories (Keyboards, etc.) submitted by williamlaw 02/19/07 Make all DELL systems 80plus (http://www.80plus.org/index.htm) compliant. PC power supplies are notoriously inefficient. This allows large users to substantially save money and get rebates from their power supply. Consumers will benefit across the board, and DELL will get some green cred. With power a huge consideration for data centers, 80plus is a no brainer. 8 Comments » Environmental Laptop Based on Solar Energy/Hydrogen Fuel Cell Environment, Laptop Power submitted by gchakra 02/17/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
What's smart for the environment is smart for Dell. Dell should build units that are degradable or can be easily recycled. Sure, its going to be a little more expensive, but it will be a smart product. It will use a lot less energy. The laptops could have a solar panel or be powered by a hydrogen fuel cell. The first microelectronic implementation of a fuel cell will give Dell a tremendous marketing boost. It will be incredibly popular with kids in college. Recycle & refurbish old Dell PCs back to Dell for 10% discount Environment submitted by reg 05/18/07
Recycle your old Dell back to Dell for a 10% discount on new equipment. Dell can then secure overwrite erase the hard drive, install Ubuntu + hardware drivers, then donate the hardware to unemployment, food stamp, and welfare offices Nationwide. The social services offices then can pass out the refurbished used equipment to its clients, and Dell can be given BIG tax breaks by the State and Federal Systems. Operating Systems submitted by fireball 03/07/07
There have been a number of ideas for offerings computers with some flavour of Linux preinstalled, and that's great. But, there are customers, who would still want to have benefits of Windows (still the majority of software applications are targeted at Win32 API and .NET Framework, not to speak about drivers for various consumer devices). Additional and Customizable Hotkeys Through Quickset Software submitted by goldy 06/06/07
Just another quick suggestion. I would find it very handy if Dell QuickSet had at least editable (as in, being able to change what keys would trigger the function) hotkeys. However, I think it would be tremendously better if we were able to create our own hotkeys, in addition to the default ones. All of us with laptops don't have multimedia keyboards, with all the extra buttons, plus we already have a program (Dell QuickSet) that provides us with kotkeys. Why not be able to add our own multimedia hotkeys (for Internet Browser, E-mail client, media player, etc.)?  track my votes
