The transfer rate of the selected wireless card is 54 Mbps, or megabits per second. A megabit is a thousand bits, and a bit is a 1 or a 0. So Dell thinks that 54 thousand 1's and 0's are useful to me?
Advertise transfer rates in megabytes (MBps with an uppercase B), not megabits (Mbps with a lowercase B). A byte can be a character of a document or a web page, part of a picture, or something else. In any case, 1 MBps (one thousand bytes per second, or a megabyte per second) is much more useful to me. Besides, web pages, pictures and other files are measured in bytes/kilobytes/megabytes/etc., why not transfer rates?
Many people think that the transfer rate is in megabytes, only to find out later that the wireless card is transferring megabits. Please stop advertising in such a useless unit as megabits, and start advertising in more useful units, like megabytes! Besides, Dell is asking for ideas concerning wireless after all.

Why is there no Dell logo on the XPS 630?
Advertising and Marketing, XPS products submitted by winoffice
Mar 14 **ALREADY OFFERED**
Dell you have always included a Dell logo (either by itself or within a circle) on all of your products until now. Why have you abandoned that concept on the XPS 630? I almost liked it, but the fact that there is no Dell logo on it caused me to abandon it in favor of the XPS 720 instead. Explain why you have not included even one Dell logo on the XPS 720. And include at least one Dell logo (each being either by itself or within a circle) on the XPS 630.
The Dell logo is on the back of the system. Please see all of aaron_h's comments if you would like further clarification.

Goodbye Dell, you'll be missed...

Recently bought an HP HDX 9000 and a Pavillion TX2500 tablet.
Why?
Styling, function, and price was just right.
What did I have to compare the HP's to before buying?
Nothing.
And that sums up the usefulness of this website. I can see why HP rocketed to #1 past Dell in such a short time.
As a long time customer of Dell and one who still uses their products that I purchased a while ago, it's somewhat sad to see Dell no longer on the cutting edge.
These HP machines are well designed with excellent build quality. Their customer service so far has been above and beyond. (Sure, maybe I'm just lucky.)
So have fun folks. Fight the good fight. Hopefully in the future I can return to being a Dell customer.
And so you may ask, what is the idea in this post? if it's not self-evident, then you need to get out more and see the rest of the computing world.
