Design a new XPS laptop in a 13" form factor

300 points posted to Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), New Product Ideas, XPS products by jorge 06/05/07 **IMPLEMENTED**

Dell design and implement a new 13" XPS Laptop!

Include the following:
1. Option of color on the outside of the screen, like silver, red and black!
2. Make it thinner than your current XPS offerings.
3. Introduce a round shaped hinge that opens at the back of the case.
4. Include the fingerprint reader.
5. With the new Duo Core processor at a fast 2.4 GHz and with the Santa Rosa chipset!
6. Make sure it can handle 4 gig of RAM.
7. Incorporate the new solid state hard drive, I think its called SSD drive? Or a large spinning drive like 250 gigs.
8. Slot-loading dual-layer DVD±RW drive!
9. Optional NVIDIA GeForce Go 8400M GS / 128MB
10. WWAN option for Verizon, Sprint, or AT&T
11. Ethernet, 802.11a, a/g, or n options, Bluetooth option
12. Integrated 2 megapixel webcam (VGA only on LED-backlit display)
13. HDMI, VGA, 1394, (2) USB 2.0, integrated media reader (MS, SD, xD), dual mini-PCI slots
14. Approx. Dimensions with LED 12.5 x 9.4 x 0.87 - 1.33-inches (318 x 238 x 22.1 - 33.8mm) / with CCFL 12.5 x 9.4 x 0.97 - 1.43-inches (318 x 238 x 24.6 - 36.3mm)
15 Keep the weight around 4 pounds
16. Include headphones and a remote that slides into the computer case so we can hide it and take it along without much fuss.
17. LED lit back screen.
18. Make it so it releases next week if not the end of this week!

This will sell like hot cakes! I can provide a few sketches of what it should look like if my description was not clear.

PS: Can you offer a Ubuntu version as well? If not how about a FreeDOS version? Come on you sell those already whats it cost to throw in a Ubuntu CD? I can install it if you don't want to. I understand by the way.





Check out the XPS M1330, which also has the option for Ubuntu!

At least dell_admin1 can't mark it as "OFFERED ALREADY" or she'll violate that rule, won't she. :)

How many days till its marked "IMPLEMENTED" :)

You will be remembered for all time as proposing this idea and Dell implementing it. You will a prize, you will be embroiled in endless court battles over copyrights and royalties.

In fifty years people will be saying:

"Remember children we must thank jorge for asking Dell to produce this computer...."

It doesn't have a touch screen so it's rubbish! That's all I have to say on it.
badblood

All computers that are worth their salt will have touch screens in the next year or two. There's no going back.

Good feature to add jervis961! I'll thank you for that when I pickup my award.

@badblood: That gives you the chance for your own idea of a 13" XPS touch screen!

I think everyone should contribute at least one idea.....doesn't have to be very good.

Is it levitating....?
badblood

Why does it have a hole in the top...?
jorge
06/05/07
You mean we can put dell logo's where those circles are? What about the circle on the hinge?
badblood
06/05/07
A yellow one would be nice. Can you make a bright yellow one. You can call it the DELLHUMMERXPSREALLYFABCOMPUTER

I'm glad people have taken to the idea. I'm hoping this idea will actually make it to the "IMPLEMENTED" status, I really believe in it and deep down feel Dell will feel the same as us few (8) of us and actually make it.

Didn't you read the fine print? They deduct money for every thing you post that needs to be deleted or gets a negative vote I think about now we are all in the hole for at least $1k each. ;)
jorge

jorge
