How IdeaStorm Works:
Cut the cost of a 9-cell battery upgrade Sales Strategies, Laptop Power submitted by ccpljat May 6
Yes a 9-cell is more powerful and lasts longer, but $169? Come on. It can't be that much. Cut down the price to honestly reflect the difference. I mean good grief, you can buy a 9-cell replacement for an Inspiron 1720 for $154! An upgrade is always supposed to be less. Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), XPS products submitted by vanza Apr 25
The specs of the M1530 look great, but there are some enhancements that would make it much better. A few that have been already proposed: Pre-Installed Linux | Ubuntu | Fedora | OpenSUSE | Multi-Boot Linux, Operating Systems - Multiboot, Sales Strategies, Desktops and Laptops submitted by dhart 02/16/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**
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 » Make Next-Gen Connectors Standard on all XPS Models XPS products, Desktops and Laptops submitted by icarus75 Apr 15
Dell, please make these connectors STANDARD on all upcoming XPS Desktops and Notebooks: Use the Intel network cards instead of Broadcom Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by thefirstm Apr 25 I think that Dell should stop integrating the wired Broadcom 44xx card (or 57xx card for professional PCs). Since as far as I can remember, every Dell laptop has come standard with these, where the Intel counterparts are much better. Every Intel chipset since the ICH2 southbridge has come with an integrated ethernet controller, and since the ICH5 this has been a gigabit controller. Additionally, it seems as if it would be cheaper to use the Intel controller. To utilize it, all you have to do is add a PHY chip instead of a whole ethernet controller. I think Dell needs to get over its Broadcom thing and start offering gigabit controllers in its home and small business laptops by switching to the Intel integrated controller. 7 Comments » Linux, Sales Strategies submitted by jimasbille Apr 22
I'm sure you have information about my purchases, you keep sending me email and mailings to get me to buy computers with special deals. That means you also know I purchased Ubuntu on my desktop. Why don't you send Ubuntu purchasers deals on Hardware for Ubuntu? Show Max Specs in System Descriptions Desktops and Laptops submitted by dfrandin Apr 23
It would make research on ordering Dell systems if the maximum values of RAM, hard drive size etc, were shown on the system description pages. A good example of what I'm talking about: The Optiplex 755, shows on the memory section, "Up to 4.0GB DDR2 Non-ECC SDRAM, 800MHz, (4DIMM)". However, if you take the time to read the online Optiplex service manual, you find that the system supports Desktops and Laptops submitted by retro Apr 21 Give us all full control of our hardware, I hate entering a bios and seeing only the most basic settings and not much of them, I may get some faster ram and want to set the cas or i may want to adjust my hard drive settings. 10 Comments » Order linux on Dell from any part of world Linux, Laptops submitted by zigcatus Apr 11
Dell Can Australia have a Ubuntu OS Laptop Provide ubuntu's next LTS iso, 100% compatible with Dell Linux, Sales Strategies, Desktops and Laptops submitted by shaikailash Apr 10
I'ts going to be release the long term support (LTS) version of ubuntu, Hardy Heron 8.04. It will be supported by the community for 3 years. Inexpensive magnesium-alloy case Latitude based on AMD Puma platform, like D531! Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by mandarinka Apr 10
What is good about Latitude D531 is that while it comes cheap thanks to the inexpensive CPU, it has got the same build quality - it employs magnesium alloy case. Make laptops phsically thinner, less clunky Laptops submitted by jordananton Apr 10
Personally I would never buy a laptop more than about 1.3" - 1.4" thick at its highest point. Hence why I have only looked at but never purchased a Dell (I only look at 17" notebooks). Take some tips from the success of Mac who seem to be the only company out there putting the right amount of focus into making their products (laptops and ipods at least) as thin as possible and their customers love them for it. They love it when they shave .1" off their ipods and then compare them to the thickness of other everyday utensils. So I know I am not the only person out there who feels this way. Thickness plays a large part in a laptops physical appeal. It also makes it more convenient to carry around; easier to squeeze in to your backpack or any tight spaces. There's apparently a new "fastest chip on earth" - sell servers and workstations with them. Dell, New Product Ideas submitted by jmxz Apr 10
This sounds interesting: IBM Corp. began shipping high-end computers Tuesday built around the fastest chip on Earth, a microprocessor that can carry out up to 5 billion instructions per second, surpassing the speediest competing processors built by rivals like Intel or Sun Microsystems. Selling servers and workstations with such chips might have a number of advantages:
Dell: join in! Offer a low-cost Linux PC! Linux, Sales Strategies, Desktops and Laptops submitted by phubert Apr 2
It appears Dell remains afraid of Microsoft... and here is an answer we haven't heard from Dell on IdeaStorm: Linux, XPS products submitted by daniel117 Mar 12 After hearing a couple magazines and people say Vista has glitches, I think Dell's best computer ever (and best counterpart of Apple's Macs) this computer company should start looking into Linux more, especially Ubuntu. Oh sure, Dell didn't get enough people into Ubuntu, but that can be easily fixed by putting Linux into Dell One. Dell is missing out on more sales from Ubuntu fans and all you geeks out there. Not much of them, but popularity would spread and soon Vista is in the dust (not that I hate Vista, but I like Ubuntu better). 11 Comments » Design a UMPC to counter HP's mini-note 2133 New Product Ideas, Laptops submitted by okroger104 Mar 27
The 15" XPS should compete feature for feature with the MacBook Pro XPS products submitted by ncd Mar 17
There is no reason why Dell cannot make all of the features of the Apple MacBook Pro available on the XPS of similar size. Some options that are missing from the XPS are: Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by nmrrja1 Mar 27
I love the idea of the more powerful laptops that have been coming to market, esp. those with dedicated graphics. The M1210 was the first notebook I have been exicited about in a long time, expecially with Dell's industry leading docking stations. But wait, the M1210 didn't get a docking connector and wait. the M1210 has now been replaced. Surely the M1330 has a docking connector. It is after all, one of the most powerfull laptops of its size available. Wait, ah NO, no docking connector. Windows XP and Blu-Ray on XPS m1730 Operating Systems, Sales Strategies, XPS products submitted by houdini Mar 21
I am buying an XPS m1730 in a few weeks and whilst going through all the options on the Dell "customize your laptop" page I was very disappointed to see that I could only order a blu-ray optical drive with Windows Vista and not XP. This is a shame as I don't want Vista, but I want blu-ray. At first I thought it was because XP doesn't support blu-ray, but upon further investigation I came across this forum (located at end of post).  track my votes
