How IdeaStorm Works:
Upgradable graphics in the m1530!!! (no more soldered cards) Gaming, XPS products submitted by theideasman Mar 4 Im sick of my laptop graphics getting old and then finding that i need to buy an all new system. Cant the xps come with modular cards (mxm) that can be upgraded direct from dell if the consumer requests a graphics upgrade. Of course there will be a cost involved but surely it will be better than having to buy an entire new system! 3 Comments » Jump on New Hardware Before Competitors Dell, Gaming, XPS products submitted by shiloh.meyers 02/17/07 Dell would benefit tremendously in their XPS line if they were to release new hardware as soon as developers released it. Take for example the Santa Rosa Intel laptop chipset. I believe that at least in Dell's XPS line, they should put it into their computers ASAP. I Dell will wait sometimes to see how hardware will fare in the general computing market, but with the XPS line, which is supposed to cater to gamers and more experienced computer users, I don't believe it benefits Dell to wait on the release of the hardware while their competitors grab all those gamers who were waiting specifically for that hardware and release it first. We, as gamers, already know what's coming out, and we'll want it as soon as it can be obtained. I think if Dell were to release it that early, gamers and more knowledgable computer users would make it worth the effort. Comment » Gaming, Monitors and Displays submitted by hjwasson 05/09/07
There are many posts regarding the fact that TrueLife displays are far too reflective for brightly backlit conditions. User responses to the complaints suggest getting a business class display with anti-glare filter - but these displays have not kept pace, are too dim, have poor pixel response rates and often have poor color rendition. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-reflective_coatingI'm sure that Seiko, Hoya, Essilor, iCoat and others would vie for the chance to open up a new market for their coatings, and thus bring more profits to them (and lower costs to us). Some IdeaStorm members might be concerned about scratching the coating - but consider: 1. LCD panels are already prone to scratching, and care must be taken in their cleaning. 2. Modern Anti-Reflective (AR) coatings, with their multiple layers, are far more resistant to scratching than they used to be. 3. AR coatings tend to repel dust, so the need for cleaning would be less frequent. 4. With the use of a microfiber cloth (and mild liquid cleaning formulations when needed), the AR coating and display will remain pristine for many years of service. If you would like to see modern Anti-Reflective coatings applied to TrueLife displays (as an optional upgrade) please promote this post. 6 Comments » GeForce 9M series of laptop GPUs on Dell XPS laptop XPS products, Laptop Power submitted by helmecj01 Jun 3
XPS 1530 Lap Top - FIX the SLOT LOADING NOISE!!! AND increase ETHERNET SPEED XPS products submitted by contrast123 May 30
Yes, ahem, please fix slot loading noise, on XPS 1530, I don't know if all xps models have this, but it would be nice to smoothly eject a DVD or cdr without having a stuttering noise emanate from the machine, EVERYTIME you eject something form the slot loader. 1530 XPS LED screen should have 1920x1080 option, APPLE does... Monitors and Displays, Sales Strategies, XPS products submitted by contrast123 May 30 Yeah, DELL should also offer hi resolution LED, of 1920x1080 as well. 3 Comments » Nvidia Geforce 8800M, Nvidia Geforce 9600M GT ON XPS M1730 & XPS M1330, XPS 1530 XPS products, Laptops submitted by helmecj01 12/11/07 I would like to see the Nvidia Geforce 8800M and Nvidia Geforce 9600M GT ON XPS M1730 & XPS M1330,XPS 1530. 37 Comments » Service and Support submitted by joes15 May 28 I have been told that I can only upgrade my Dimension E521 with parts from Dell because other parts won't work. In other words Dell uses proprietary parts. This really dissapoints me. I bought my PC with the thought that I would be able to upgrade later. I think that if Dell would use standard parts it could 1. porbably save a lot of money when it comes to manufacturing, and 2. it could increase sales because people want very upgradeable PC's. I know I do. 4 Comments » Give a choice of either Ati or Nvidia gpu's Gaming, Desktops and Laptops submitted by theideasman Mar 23 Everyone is a fanboy to one particular brand and prefers their products, so why do some desktops and a lot of laptops only have one option. There should be at least one Ati card and one Nvidia card available for each machine so people dont have to go for the brand they dont want. Its only fair... 6 Comments » Advertising and Marketing submitted by yudhajeet Jun 27
Unlike Dell US/Canada, there is supposedly no coupon applicability on the dell India website. 9600GT 512MB Gddr3 for xps 1530!!! XPS products submitted by idangold Jun 4
9600M GT/9650M GS are officially out on the market since Yesterday June 3, 2008! Off switch for touchpad on notebooks Monitors and Displays, Laptops submitted by jscottd 02/23/07 All of my users would love the ability to turn off the touch pad. A simple recessed button near the touch pad or even along the side of the machine. How about by the power switch? I know other manufacturers already have this. Let's get up to speed. 8 Comments » Delivery Time - Please Reduce. Service and Support submitted by pablohs Jun 13 I love the fact that with Dell I can customize my pc or laptop and get exactly what I want. When I do customize and pick what I want, I have no problem to wait for my unit. However, today as an experiment I pick a laptop and DID NOT CUSTOMIZE anything and just click on BUY NOW. The estimated shipping time was July 18 2008 – I think this is crazy – if I am buying a unit that you are showing in the website as your standard, I should be able to get it next week not in 5 weeks. Also consider the fact that I am paying you TODAY and you are not delivering the product for another 5 weeks. That is a loan to DELL with no interest, and DELL is not giving me a discount for waiting either. Any comments? 10 Comments » XPS products submitted by inkslug Jun 11

With the pending release of the "Studio" Line of Inspiron notebooks, it appears that Dell is looking to take back the notebook market. There are new design features that put the "Studio" notebooks on par with Macbook Pros... slimmer/update design, slot loading DVD +/- RW and/or Blu-ray drive, BACK LIT keyboard, eSATA drives and a host of color options.

Give XPS Notebooks Gigabit Ethernet XPS products submitted by croftki Feb 17 I understand that Dell market research says home users in general are not interested in gigabit ethernet for home networks. Those who pay for the premium design in the XPS line, however, are more likely to want gigabit ethernet. I would rather buy something more exciting than a business class notebook, but I want to build on my home technology with each purchase I make. XPS Notebooks unfortunately do not help me do this. It seems my only option is to buy a Latitude. 28 Comments » make the a XPSm1330 to M1335 and XPS 1530 to 1535 just a new XPS Design for 2008 XPS products submitted by bryan14c Jan 6 add more features on the m1330 and M1530 just update all the hardware and the some minor design enhancement and a i wish the 10/100 ethernet will be updated to 1000 and more graphics option and a LED LCd just update all the hardware stuff 6 Comments » Montevina laptops close to its release.

I realize there is a temporary battery shortage that is driving up prices and also the high cost associated with getting bad batteries that have to be recalled.  track my votes
