Am I the only one that hates having ports of anykind on the sides of my notebook. I like my ports out of sight in the back. Give Open Source Software a Higher profile On Dell.com Dell Web Site submitted by aikiwolfie May 22

Hi, Option to add LightFX to all XPS laptops XPS products submitted by james-94 May 22 It would be awesome if there was an option to include LightFX with all XPS laptops just like the XPS M1730 16 Comments » XPS 630 Pci Card For master I/O board and rear LED board.

If it is possible. Dell could make a pci card That we could connect the master I/O board and the rear led board to and not connect them to the motherboard. we could install any after market motherboard and not worry about losing control of the Front./Rear LEDS Or the HDD/Pci cage fans. since we wont need to worry about about the missing connections on say an evga motherboard.

Like the M1730 but thinner, lighter, and cheaper. Desktops and Laptops submitted by haveacoke 02/19/07
I've been wanting a UMPC since I heard about them, but I can't find any that has what I want and with the power to back it up, Dell could definitely pull it off... and here is what I'm looking for in a Dell UMPC: If Apple is poised to take Microsoft down...

Forrester sees Apple ruling the living room Improve your high-end (>$1000) PCs - Apple's doing well there. Sales Strategies submitted by jmxz May 23
Fortune Magazine this month has an interesting article on Apple 2.0
I imagine this >$1000 segment is more profitable than the budget segment too. Wonder what Dell needs to do to catch Apple here. It'd be interesting to see if people have good specific places Dell needs to improve compared to Apple on >$1000 machines in the comments.. 3 Comments » XPS products submitted by darthomer May 23
Resume the XPS M2010 Line with the XPS M2030. It is for people who want to bring the AWSOME power and Resolution of a Dell XPS 730 with them on the go. It is for X-treme Gaming and CPU Killing Simulations (Like Flight Simulator X) I have Some Pictures of it (They are screenshots of a detailed Google Sketchup 6 model) I want it to be as light and as thin as possible. Assuming that the GPU and Hard drive are thick I think it will be as thick as a XPS M1730 But if the parts are thinner please dell make it as light and thin as possible if you make this Laptop. unlike the XPS M2010 Its a Real Laptop not a Portable Desktop. Here is a description of the design, it has the basic shape of a XPS M1530 and I forgot to put the Dell Logos on the barrel Hinges like on a XPS M1530 but the Final Design should have that, It has the Glowing Wings (The area seen around the two XPS logos) like on XPS M1710s and XPS M1730s, It has the glowing letters on the keyboard the glowing XPS logo on the mouse pad and on the bottom of the buttons on the mouse pad.

Having great products will not do much for you if you do not provide a good experience through the whole purchase. This includes ordering, dealing with customer care when there are delays, the financial services department, everything. 21 Day Return policy extended if you have an issue when you recieve your computer. Service and Support submitted by lvl3catastrophe May 24
Ok I received my computer and it immediately started having a problem where it would just restart when I was multi-tasking. I tried to use the tech support because I like the computer just wanted the problem fixed. After weeks of troubleshooting I was no where and the tech wanted me to format the HD and reinstall windows for the third time. I knew it had to be an hard ware issue but most foreign tech reps DON'T LISTEN and stink at trouble shooting. I was very angry I just wanted it fixed but didn't have the time to sit on the phone with a tech rep for hours and get no actual trouble shooting. So I wanted to return the computer but it was the 23rd day from the SHIP date I didn't have the computer for 21 days yet but it was counted from the ship date so I was stuck. There should be an extension on the 21 day return policy and your warranty if you have an existing problem that is documented during the period of the policy. Lower the price on your LED backlit screens. Sales Strategies, Laptops submitted by jervis961 May 24
Currently Dell charges $150 to upgrade a notebook to a LED backlit screen. A recent article shows the price difference between the two technologies is only about $8 now. http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=4424 Allow Canadians to order from Dell.com (USA) Dell Web Site, Sales Strategies submitted by junior May 24
Allow Canadians to order Electronics, Software, & Accessories from Dell.com (USA). What I mean is Dell.com has more Software, Electronics and Accessories than Dell.ca has. Say you want a high end wireless router that you see on Dell.com, and your a Canadian, you check Dell.ca if its there, and its not, which is pretty stupid and makes me abit mad. Dell.com should allow Canadians to order from their website. In check out of Dell.com, if a Canadian sees something he likes and its not on Dell.ca, there should be a tab on Dell.com in the shopping cart of check out and delivery, it should say Canada, but United States by Default because its a US website, and once the shipping address is changed to Canada, the price should change to a Canadian price. The only improvement needed for the XPS 730 Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), XPS products submitted by killadaedalus May 24 At this current point in time with this model (XPS 730) you only offer DUAL 1GB ATI® Radeon® 3870 X2 Crossfire X Graphics Cards. In my opinion I think that you should also offer the technologically superior Nvidia Geforce 8800GTX x2 or the geforce 8800GTX ultra x2. This is for all the Nvidia fans out there who prefer this line of product... such as myself :) Comment » Merged comments should not have the date of merge but rather their original date IdeaStorm submitted by mistern May 24
Comments always have a date field, which is certainly useful for evaluating them quickly. However, comments merged from other postings are shown to have the date of the merging rather than the original date at which they were posted. I think it would be useful if that was different. Don't abbreviate date information IdeaStorm submitted by mistern May 24
Sometimes, the IdeaStorm platform shows dates as "20 Minutes ago" or "May 30th". I'd like them to be showed always in a consistent format, which might help improve usability of the site. The format could be something like this: "2008-05-25 01:56 UTC". If you prefer another timezone, please don't forget to also signify the timezone. Other formats would be fine, too, as long as they are consistent across the site and don't fail to convey significant information. giving old computers to underpriveleged people Environment, Education submitted by drorb73 May 25 **REVIEWED**
An acquaintance of mine is going to start college soon on financial aid, and does not have the resources to purchase a new computer. Currently lots of people send their old computers back to "recycling" programs whereby the machines are shipped to China where some kid breaks them open bare-handed. Instead, computer manufacturers could reinstall some reasonable software on them and give them away (perhaps at a token cost) to under-priveleged people here in developed countries. I have no doubt that lots of perfectly decent 3 year old computers get junked - and there are lots of poor Americans and Europeans that could use these machines for another several years. Wouldn't this be more "green"? Thanks!  track my votes
