STOP TAKING OPTIONS AWAY FROM THE 1505!!!

160 points posted to Inspiron products, Sales Strategies by greygabe 05/05/07

Why does Dell continue to remove options avalible over the internet on the Inspiron 1505? It doesn't make any sence, especially when all of us here on Ideastorm are begging for MORE options! I recently posted an idea asking for them to bring back the 2.0 Ghz processor they eliminated, but they instead remove 2 more processors from the lineup. There are now only 2 processors instead of the original 5. They have also eliminated the lower end graphics card. If someone doesn't necessarily desire to game than they have no battery saving option anymore. Also, that only leaves users with TurboCache or whatever ATIs version is for RAM borrowing and personally RAM borrowing is a huge turn down. We need more RAM avalible than ever with Vista.
I would imagine that this is the attempt to belittle the 1505 before a high-performance 15" comes out, but don't make the changes to the 1505 until after u release the new one.

05/07/07		 I happened to have minimal problems with Dell customer service/tech support. I know that it probably could be better (which is why I don't disagree), but I don't agree that it's so bad. Compared to some other companies they will usually fix it in the end - even if it does take a little work on the customer's part. I know from experience with other companies that they will fight even fixing it and find a way to blame the broken part on you.
But my main point to berlin_stoute is THIS ISN'T A SUPPORT IDEA DONT HIJACK IDEAS
