Let the user make a _real_ choice in hardware

120 points posted to Sales Strategies by yelo3 03/08/07

Currently the user can't do so much... Just processor, ram and hdd...
a real choice should be (for laptops) at least the following:
- all processors
- all RAM combinations (r.g. 2 gb in 1 slot, different frequencies)
- all hdd combinations (160gb 7200 rpm)
- real video card choice (not only 2 choices but lots! different models from different brands with different amount of ram! this choice is so poor now!!)
- real screen choice (widescreen, not widescreen, lucid, opaque, and more resolutions! where did the 1400x1050 go??)
- touchpad choice (synaptics, alsp, concave, sink)
- mmc/sd
- webcam integrated

I would definately like to see more customizability in the notebooks. Maybe Dell should design notebook models to handle a number of motherboards so that wider ranges of processors and the like are available in each model. Dell could possible organize models around the set of motherboards that fit the model, in otherwords, the most possibilities for a completely custom experience.

I agree on the video card.
