Stop Overcharging on Notebook RAM Sales Strategies, Laptops submitted by realskript 08/28/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
Dell really... REALLY need to stop overcharging... and when i say overcharing... i mean atleast double what you would pay to pick up the ram yourself. Put Ubuntu on the list of operating systems when building a PC! Linux, Sales Strategies, Desktops and Laptops submitted by samb0057 08/10/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
Ubuntu is hidden in a dark corner of the website. I work in IT support, and I have a client who was having virus problems a little while ago. I fixed the problem by installing Ubuntu on their PC. Very recently they called me asking for advice on a new computer, I told them about your new offer providing Ubuntu pre-installed on PCs and they wanted to purchase, but could not find the section on your site (this person is a very basic user, doesn't know what open-source means, probably didn't even see the open source link). There is no way they would have found your Ubuntu section on their own. Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Sales Strategies, Desktops and Laptops submitted by rarmasu 02/21/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**
I find myself many, many times in dark or poorly lit environments having to guess the various keys - would be fantastic to have a backlit keyboard - with backlit individual keys as the best option. LED Backlit Displays for Higher Resolutions for XPS M1530 Monitors and Displays, Sales Strategies, XPS products submitted by whitefrost May 14 The release of the LED backlit 1440 x 900 display is great, but needs to be expanded to higher resolutions most notably the 1680 x 1050 resolution which a large number of people use and are most comfortable with. It would not be a threat to the M1730 as you can keep the LED Full HD 1920 x 1200 for it alone. 5 Comments » Dell - Please Step up your Game, this is rediculous! Advertising and Marketing, Sales Strategies submitted by epic4life Jul 2
I have been a dell fan all my life, but at no point have I been on the fence until recently. I have always picked dell over Hp, compaq (when they were around) , sony and toshiba. However, recently dell has not been as innovative as their competitors, especially Hp. I shouldn't have to wait months, years, or forever, for dell to match or better an HP idea that has already come out. Here are a couple of examples. 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. Sales Strategies, XPS products submitted by atxguy512 Jun 22
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. OCZ Core series SSD should be offered on Dell systems Sales Strategies, Desktops and Laptops submitted by jervis961 Jul 1
The SATA II Solid State Drives are currently priced at $169 (32GB), $259 (64GB) and $479. Dell should offer these on their systems or produce a competitive alternative. These are a significant cost savings over Dell's current offerings of a 64GB SSD as a $575 upgrade. Discounts, Credit, or Cash for Recycling Old Laptops and Computers Sales Strategies submitted by wendaline Jun 19 I think Dell should offer customers either a discount, credit, or cash back for recycling their old computers. Both HP and Toshiba do this, so, why not Dell? If they did this it would help the enviroment while gaining loyal customers or keeping already loyal customers from going to their competetors AND they could refurbish the old parts and start selling refurbished computers at lower prices for those of us who can't afford to spend a fortune on a new computer. Come on Dell execs listen to your consumers, the ones who pay your salery, and keep us as your customers. Do you really want the other companies to win? Comment » Avoid Glare On Screens and Notebook Frames Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Sales Strategies, Laptops submitted by bobetsue 02/20/07
Glare and reflection from high glare screens, screen frames, and notebook computers is annoying and distract from function and use. Linux, Operating Systems, Sales Strategies submitted by agreer 02/17/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**
I have a XP Pro retail copy, will soon buy retail vista, I also like Linux: Make WINDOWS-FREE, and OS-Free an option for more than just expensive business lines. Sales Chat Staff Should be Informed of Product Launches Sales Strategies, Service and Support submitted by slateslate Jun 18
I asked a "live sales chat person/avatar" when the Latitude E-Series would be released. 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**
Venezuelans should pay for Dell products in their own currency Sales Strategies submitted by rafaelrojasc Jul 1
I just bought a Dell laptop and everyone tells me how nice it looks like and they love the price. However, they can't buy it because the Venezuelan government has imposed a policy regarding a $400 cap on electronic purchases made with a credit card per year. Linux, Operating Systems, Sales Strategies submitted by xivulon 09/26/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
There are several proposals that basically ask the same thing: SHOW UBUNTU IN THE LIST OF OPERATING SYSTEM ON ALL MACHINES [subtract $50]. And why not, add XP to the list as well. There are also many more proposals that would be made redundant IF the above was implemented. If you add them all together that is probably the most requested feature at the moment. Yes I think many of the ideas below can be merged. 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 » Multi language sites in aisan markets Sales Strategies, Service and Support submitted by ap0stle Jul 2
Dell has no english language support for it's south korean web site. It is unforgivable. If Dell understood the south korean market then they would know that there is a massive community of americans, canadians, australians, english and kiwis ( new zealanders) living and working there. Most stay between 3 and 5 years. One of the first things these people do once they have settled is shop for a desk top or lap top to make the stay more enjoyable and productive. I have ordered an XPS 420 from the site, and it was an excercise in uncertainty and discomfort. I had to use friends who could speak korean and english to help. Now, I am recieving important information about billing and delivery......entirely in the korean language, despite the fact i made notes on my order that i am a foreigner and dont speak the language.

I've alrady posted this idea but it wasn't very explicit : Bring Dell Latitude XFR to other market like EMEA Sales Strategies submitted by soneil Jul 2 XFR should be available in all market. EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) is the market that need the XFR the Most. That where it's toughness is needed. Don't only keep it in the USA.
