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.

Backlit Keyboards

Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Sales Strategies, Desktops and Laptops submitted by rarmasu 02/21/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**

I find myself many, many times in dark or poorly lit environments having to guess the various keys - would be fantastic to have a backlit keyboard - with backlit individual keys as the best option.

I would actually pay extra for that convenience if the option was available.
This could be done for desktops or notebooks.


Check out the white LED backlights on the <ahref>XPS M1730.

XPS M1530 with LED Screen and 2MP Camera

Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), XPS products submitted by marcusesq Jan 10

Potential buyers enquiring about LED backlit screens for the XPS M1530 are being told the following by Dell sales reps.

"This is not part of the current plans for XPS 1530 … as 15.4" users are less weight sensitive than XPS1330 buyers, and more likely to leverage the higher-res 2Mp webcam."

I want the LED backlit screen mainly for the extra brightness and lower power consumption and really couldn't car less about a thinner screen. In fact I think the thinner screen used on the M1330 would feel too flimsy on the M1530. As it is now, I like the solid feel of the current screen on the M1530.

I have a feeling that Dell's market research regarding 15.4 users being more likely to want a 2MP camera is probably accurate, so my request is as follows:

Install LED backlighting AND a 2MP camera into the current screen form factor. 1 Comment »

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 »

Provide Nvidia 8700M video card option on XPS M1530

XPS products submitted by aaronpau 12/26/07

Currently, the best video card option on the XPS M1530 is the Nvidia 8600M GT 256MB. There needs to at least be a 8700M GT 256MB option, if not 8700M GT 512MB. 7 Comments »

White LED Screen for XPS M1530

XPS products submitted by realskript Jan 19

I commend Dell for listening to the Public and providing better resolution screens for the marvelous M1530.

But it must be noted, that White LED screen is essential.
Brighter, lighter, and more power efficient, make this a must for the M1530.
You've put it on the M1330 from its release, and it is about time for the M1530 to have the same privilege. 2 Comments »

Re-style the laptop housing to look like a race car.

New Product Ideas, Laptops submitted by doctorcox Mar 20

"Transformer" fans and others that like race car styled products would be the first responders. Obviously this is not for everyone.
This concept may involve relocating the internal parts so that everything will fit and the balance would be correct.
All sorts of new visual design features could be added… for example the interior could be where the CPU is located; maybe the hood could open to expose simm chips. Real rubber tires. Lights that work. The exhaust pipe could be the CPU heat pipe. Trunk that opens to expose the I/O connections. Etc.
