Reorganize 'Tech Specs' Page in a Clear, Tabular Format

200 points posted to Dell Web Site, Precision Workstations by sgogeta4 Mar 27

Problem:

1. The tech specs page should clearly list each and every specification of this laptop that is consistent with every other laptop tech spec sheet so that people can easily navigate and compare specs. Taking the Precision M2300 as an example, I search for the words "kg" and "lbs" and nothing found. This is simply unacceptable, these important specs should be easily found.

2. The headings and pictures are nice but the description lacks any technical information on your options.

"NVIDIA Quadro® FX 360M1
The NVIDIA Quadro FX 360M offers some of the latest graphics technology to produce extraordinary visual effects, robust wide-aspect LCD support and compatibility with all major business

Solution:

1. As stated above, present ALL key information in a similar format for ALL laptops. This means we need weights (and how this weight was calculated in the footnote as in other pages); pictures of each side of the laptop with the list of each port; description of each option for each section (ie. on the M2300 video card section, it says you can have 256MB discrete memory but on the selection page you only have the option of 128MB discrete memory). Clicking on the configuration for the laptop:

Video Card: 512MB Turbo Cache memory (256 dedicated)

Option: NVIDIA Quadro FX 360M 256MB TurboCache (128MB dedicated)

2. Maybe offer a few more details (source from the nVidia page):

Memory Size Up to 256MB
Memory Type GDDR3
Memory Interface 64-bit
...
Max Power Consumption 17W

The tech specs page is for those who understand these figures (even if you don't, more information is always

Mar 28		 This would be highly valued by me. Apple have a very clear presentation of system information. It's infuriating that on so many Dell pages I can't even find the weight of the system.

May 29		 Great idea - I too find it frustrating when I am looking for specific information about some tech spec (screen resolution or processor cache, for example), and clicking on 'help me choose' only gives me some marketing crap about how this machine is 'optimized for multimedia!'
