Better looking PCs

If Dell wants to regain relevance with its target audience, it should seriously hire a couple of leading designers and make machines that don't look like poor man's tin clunkers. Yes, even that 'luxury' line of machines you've started look hideous. Take inspiration from Vaio SZ or the small full-black Fujitsu or just about anything from Apple. I used to be an avid Dell evangelist for nearly 5 years, until it became to make less and less sense to me (even your 'international support' was useless. It does NOT work).

Blackberry´s Pearl and some new designs from Asus are good examples.Dell is ideally suited to use its unique customization cabability to personalize notebooks even more.I would also add a "Platinum Service" hotline for any IT related question 24x7 against a fee, I am pretty sure you find not only AX Platinum card members using it!

02/25/07		 i was also a loyal customer of dells.. Bought as many as 5 systems and at least 10 screens from them, but I have also jumped ship for a HP 17" notebook that had a 10 key keypad. What were they thinking creating a 17" notebook to people in business w/o a 10key. Plus I went with a Sonay Vaio TZ for the 11.3 inch notebook because I travel so much and needed one that was thin sleek and lightweight.

Dell, I still believe that you can come up with innovative slim products that I will be proud to display in my entertainment unit or take with me on my biz trips. Fire all the middle management and hires that just eat up space and lean it up and hire some designers and engineers that gives us great products.

I'm proud to display a computers that runs well- not looks extravagant
