How IdeaStorm Works:
Make Physical Manuals An Option Environment, Service and Support submitted by joyscant1980 Jun 25
This is not my idea, it was mentioned by roguent in "No more plastic wrap, please" on June 12. Where I disagree with the idea of no manuals, I do agree that if you do not want to receive the physical manual, you should not have to. Desktops and Laptops submitted by drackham Jun 20 Think how much energy would be saved if PCs were functional as soon as they were turned on - just like a PDA. Users would then turn the PC off when it was not required - rather than leaving it on just in case it might be needed. It would also save a lot of time. 5 Comments » Give us a Graphics Card on OpenSource Computers Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Linux submitted by kanste Jun 21
Do you want the OpenSource arm of Dell computing to fail? At least put together a little more competitive package with a decent selection of Graphics Cards and Audio Cards. That's the whole point of buying an Ubuntu computer from you. You do the hard work of figuring out what hardware works well on Linux and we get to pick and choose our tailored setup. Only offering an Integrated Intel Graphics Processors and Integrated Audio will not do. It's frustrating because i want to buy a Linux computer now but you have a terrible selection. Change you logo to a symbol of some type Advertising and Marketing, Dell submitted by badblood Jun 24
Because the Dell logo is made up by the word 'Dell' it is difficult to translate or be recognized by non-Latin-alphabet reading people. Also it is difficult to keep it the right way up on laptop computer lids. Stop Overcharging on Notebook RAM Sales Strategies, Laptops submitted by realskript 08/28/07 **UNDER REVIEW**

Hi, Standardize Power Cables for Laptops Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by badblood 08/27/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
Nothing is more annoying than laptop power cables that are not interchangeable from one computer model to another or from one brand of computer to another. Power cables have been standardized on most electrical applicances, including desktop computers for decades. Environment submitted by falbert May 22
In the last shipment of computers I received I was shocked by the amount of plastic wrap used for items like power cords, USB cables, VGA/DVI cables. Do these items really need to be individually wrapped in a plastic bag. I can just imagine the tons of plastic used by Dell annually... Printers and Ink submitted by signedupinjuly 07/15/07
Dell laser printers, along with many others, print a matrix of faint yellow dots that will let your documents be tracked! You might think that printing a document is your own damn business, but Dell is making sure that it can be traced back to YOUR printer. Reference: Is Your Printer Spying On You? Broadband and Mobility, Printers and Ink submitted by yvan 08/17/07
The technology is out, Bluetooth has demostrated to be a reliable and fast way to transmit data. D-Link even has a bluetooth printer adapter that sells for $99. Why not make a photo/laser printer with a built-in bluetooth adapter.? Ordering on-line or on the phone Service and Support submitted by bc45238 08/03/07 I recently placed an order for ink for my printer. I first went into the web sight but cancelled the order when you asked for my social security number to place the order. I then called on the telephone and again I was asked for my social security number. Do you not realize that giving out your social security number is a dangerous thing to do. Most places will settle for the last 4 digits, however, you insist on having the full number. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!! Unless you change your methods of security for an order I will be forced to purchase a different printer, one which I can go to a store and purchase my supplies. IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR YOU TO INSIST ON PEOPLE GIVING OUT THEIR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER TO THE MULTITUDE OF PERSONNEL YOU HAVE WORKING FOR YOU AS THEY COULD POSSIBLY COMMIT IDENTIFY FRAUD. AND I AM NOT WILLING TO GIVE IT OUT THE NEXT TIME I NEED SUPPLIES. I will check it out and if you still insist on the entire SS#, I will stop dealing with Dell. Thank you.

Printers and Ink submitted by medinasolutions 06/18/07 Dell should launch an XPS Printer for XPS customers.....it should be Black and Silver, or Black and Red....just like the XPS 710/720. 2 Comments » Dell Stop Forcing Printers down Customers Throat Dell, Environment, Printers and Ink submitted by jorge 07/20/07
Dell you want to be Greener and a better company, yet you force your European customers to receive a tree killing, toxic ink using printer! Make the inclusion of a printer with a system optional. Printers and Ink submitted by trippynet 07/20/07
Many Dell laptops and PCs ordered in the UK currently force a cheap printer into the deal by claiming that it's "included in price". However, not everyone wants a printer, even if its free. Quite a few people don't want one - especially with laptops. From the comments about this idea, it appears that de-selecting the printer is possible in America, but not in Britain. Every printer should duplex! (two sided printing) Environment, Printers and Ink submitted by one4spl 07/02/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**
As an environmentally aware company that makes long shelf-life products (not food or toys) you should be aware that the biggest environmental impact your products have are the results of their use, not their manufacture.

Make all Dell pc's linux and vista compatible. Dell Web Site, Printers and Ink, Service and Support submitted by gdborenstein 10/18/07
The Dell printer drivers from the support site prompts you for a download of the full CD in a self-extracting .exe file. However, the printers also have drivers for non-Windows operating systems which cannot run a Windows executable to get their drivers, entailing the use of an additional Windows-based machine. While access to a Windows machine to run the program is generally common, it does seem a bit of an imposition to have to find a separate machine to extract a full CD for a small driver that's supported by the printer. Using Canada Post for ink deliveries Printers and Ink submitted by onthecoast 12/15/07
If new ink cartridges for Dell printers are to remain primarily available only from the Dell Web site, I suggest that Canada Post be used for delivery. At present Purolator is used. After a recent ink purchase, Purolator left no indication at my apartment that a delivery attempt was made. I only received a phone call that said two delivery attempts were made and that I now must *pick up* the ink from the Purolator office. I live fairly centrally in Vancouver, but the Purolator office is far from where I live and inconvenient to get to, as I suspect is true for many Canadians in other communities. I suggest using Canada Post for smaller shipments like ink cartridges since these packages can easily fit in apartment mailboxes, which Canada Post has access to. Or, if a signature is absolutely required, it is at least more likely that a customer will have a Canada Post office nearby than a Purolator office.  track my votes
