How IdeaStorm Works:
More Dell <-> Community Communication IdeaStorm submitted by mistern 05/15/07
Certainly, Dell's move to start IdeaStorm was a good one, and I think it will improve the situation quite a bit. jmxz's part of the idea (his article was merged here): IdeasStorm needs more participation from Dell Management and Employees Dell has meetings with the management to discuss Ideas that are posted to the site. Why can’t some of those managers stop by and ask questions or maybe enlighten users when they suggest an idea that isn’t feasible. I’m not saying they need to spend the whole day doing this but maybe just pop in once in a while. I believe that such conversations lead to better ideas not only from us but from Dell employees as well. This kind of interaction would also make users know that they are being listened to. Further information in the comments of this Idea. 210 Comments » Dell, Laptops submitted by greygabe 05/13/07
HP has come out with a 14", 15.4", and 17" personal Santa Rosa laptops. Laptops submitted by gautam 02/16/07 **IMPLEMENTED**
The XPS and E series notebooks are great, but a move into making 12.1 and 14.1 inch tablet PC convertible notebooks would be fantastic. I can easily see the m1210 and the e1405 being ported to the tablet medium. Show projected weight on product configurator Sales Strategies, Laptops submitted by finbib 05/15/07
Instead of putting disclaimers at the bottom showing how Dell arrived at the listed weight, how about projecting a weight for the system being configured at the time it is being configured. XPS products, Laptops submitted by lilredfoxie 02/16/07 **IMPLEMENTED**
I think theyre needs to be another 15.4" size XPS system, currently the XPS lineup has no middle ground, theres either the m1210 which is too small, or the m1710 which is too large ( I dont count the m2010, since its not really a laptop, its more of its own hybrid desktop/laptop comptuer thing) use the e1505 chassis, give it the cool XPS lights, and a D-dock connectior below Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Desktops and Laptops submitted by wh0rd 05/08/07 Internally Dell might have it all together, but externally the Dell Laptops need a makeover. Compared to Sony's Laptops and Mac Notebooks, Dell looks like old uncle Tom in gray and back. Although they are a nice color combination, it would be awesome to see them in a better, more sleeker design. This wouldn't be hard to do for a company like Dell. 1 Comment » Thank You for making some of the Dell Inspiron Coupon Codes work on the E1505N Dell, Dell Web Site, Linux submitted by jmxz 05/25/07
I just ordered a E1505N - and was pleased to see that at least some Coupon Codes that talk about Inspirons and say things like "Offer is only valid on e-value code:[...list...]" also work on the E1505N. Make Carbon Fiber Based Laptops to Minimize weight and Maximize Strength Laptops submitted by wonderworm 05/07/07
Sony's has a big winner with their Carbon Fiber based Vaio laptops. Carbon Fiber has become extremely cheap over the past several years so for little cost, Dell could reduce the weight of some of their laptop lines significantly while actually improving structural integrity. Service and Support submitted by zmaz 05/06/07
I'm not an idiot, so don't treat me like one! When I call the customer support hotline, I'm tired of being told to "click twice on the that looks like the world behind a brick wall" or something like that. Customer service reps should be able to recognize that if I'm asking, say, what port I need to open to do X or Y, or something of the like, I'm probably not a user who doesn't know how to turn the computer on. Instead, how about "You need to open port *number* UDP and port *number* TCP. Do you know how to do that? Why is 4GB of RAM so damn expensive to have pre-installed??? I think I have the answer... submitted by zeavott 05/29/07
By far, the Dell XPS line of computers are the best on the market. There is no system that even comes close. WHY IS 4GB OVER $1000???? 3) If you search ON DELL.COM! You will find a 2GB RAM module for the XPS M1210 priced out at $329.00 ---- Dell Part# A0821571 Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Sales Strategies submitted by joliver99 05/24/07 Add an option for a video card on the e1505n. 11 Comments » Dell submitted by dechah 05/25/07 I would like to see Dell offer a quiet feature packed media center PC using VIIV technology in an ultra compact form factor like the Mac mini. Preferably with 802.11n wireless capability and the ability to act as a Vista media extension device like an XBox 360. An ability to output 1080P via HDMI would also be a big plus. Comment » Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Monitors and Displays, XPS products submitted by cyborganizer 03/05/07 Dell should make a 14.1" model of the XPS 1210. It should have a better graphics card (around the the 256MB NVIDIA® GeForce™ Go 7900 GS range). The Glossy 1440x900 display and the camera that rotates 180 degrees are also important. 8 Comments » Promote the new Ubuntus Pc's in Mexico and other countris early Advertising and Marketing, Linux submitted by quiketaz 05/08/07
Promote the new Pc's and Laptops with Ubuntu preinstalled, include commercial tv's, and the publicity like Dell's with Microsoft Windows. Include the Ubuntus Pc's in the dell's catalog. Offer Beryl (or Compiz) preinstalled on Ubuntu computers Linux, Software submitted by zhinker 05/16/07 The 3D eye-candy from those computers is something that's getting a lot of my non-linux friends wanting to try out Ubuntu. It makes a great selling point (look at how big a deal MS tried to make of it's simple little side view thing) and any new linux buyers expecting to already have that sort of thing working will be extremly dissapointed when the realize they still have some work to do. 5 Comments » XPS products submitted by lwinston 05/29/07
The day you put a DVI port on the ultraportable XPS notebook is the day I buy another one (I already bought one for my wife) and a 27" monitor as well. Send Best Ubuntu Laptop (and Desktop?) to PC Magazine!
