Cooling for Notebook Harddisk

Laptop Power submitted by notebookman Jan 27

I think it would be more healthy, if you would take a cooling to the Harddisks of Notebooks.
Many Monitoring tools show me Temperatures on 55°C and more on some Notebooks for onlythe Harddisk. This is not healthy on time.
A second heatpipeline to the Ventilator could take the Problem i think 6 Comments »

Heated Keyboard

Accessories (Keyboards, etc.) submitted by itybitybear Jan 27

Have you noticed when your hard at work using your keyboard, your fingers are the only thing that is cold? How about a heated keyboard? Either have little holes on each key with a small amount of heat projecting through them or a lengh wise heater that you will find at the top of your keyboard that you can tilt either way you want it.
That would fix the frozen finger syndrom : ) What do you think?

Bluetooth Number Keypad Option for Laptops

Accessories (Keyboards, etc.) submitted by rietnau Jan 27

I would like to see Dell offer a Bluetooth number pad option for laptops. The world is adopting wireless options and a search for bluetooth number pad's has turned up nothing. The closest options to external number pads are 2.4 ghz and cable based. There is one option though, and it is the Logitech Dinovo Keyboard set. I am not about to pay $170 for a keyboard set when all I want is a number pad.

The XPS M1330 only has two usb ports and connecting a number pad (whether 2.4 ghz or cable based) to it would limit it to one. I would also like to keep the number of peripherals sticking out of my laptop to a minimum, so a Bluetooth number pad would be ideal.

Dell has done a great job offering the Bluetooh travel mouse and a number pad would probably be well received. The technology is already out. Dell should be the first to offer the Bluetooth number pad option. 2 Comments »

More Accessories

Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Dell, Dell Web Site submitted by junior Jan 27

Dell Canada,
You need to offer what the American site is doing for Bluetooth Accessories and they make a better site than Canada and i'm proud to be Canadian, and plan on keeping it that way, but your screwing it up by not offering these bluetooth accessories for desktops. Dell.com has two areas when customizing and have a good selection of Dell branded accessories like bluetooth. Dell.ca should do this two because people want a desktop with one brand name accessories because having a logitech keyboard just doesn't match and looks ugly. Please offer these soon. On the online store, make a Keyboard, Mouse, and Bluetooth accessories page that has a selection of Dell Branded mice and Keyboard like the Premium Optical USB Mouse or USB Enhanced Multimedia Keyboard or have a selection like "Keyboard or Mouse included in bluetooth."

Guys I have a GREAT IDEA

Laptops submitted by vardanian Jan 28

Hoped to realize by myself someday, but unfortunately a lot of ideas bygone. I think that touchpad must be removeable to become external when one wants. And the form can be as the flat square or semi-spheric. That can be reinserted in a container inside the notebook's base and become the standard touchpad. I invite your attention please share your opinions! Thanx. 5 Comments »

Drivers & Downloads RSS

Simplify IT submitted by henkw Jan 28

It would be a nice addition to the Drivers & Downloads pages to have a RSS feed for every Product Model / OS / Language combination. This way, I could have all new downloads appear in Google Reader. 3 Comments »

Re-brand "GREEN"

Dell submitted by phubert Jan 28

Since there is hot debate on both sides of "Global Warming", let me suggest Dell provide some real leadership there...

Forget what is now called "Green" and completely forget "Global Warming"

Substitute:

Global Awareness
Global Responsibility
Global Community

The ARC of Global Continuity... we're all in this raft together... let's start acting like it! 12 Comments »

Bluetooth accessories (Keyboards, Mice, etc) (In Canada and other countries)

Accessories (Keyboards, etc.) submitted by junior Jan 28

Dell should offer these bluetooth accessories to the Dell Online Store: Building A System area. Many people know that Dell Already has these bluetooth accessories in the US Online Store, now its time to put these in the Canadian site and other countries as well. I`ve been saying this since last Year of December, and you guys aren`t even listening to me and most of the people in Ideastorm. What is the piont of this system when you are just going to ignore us.... Try to make it a habit of listening to us once in a while and make these bluetooth accessories in Canada and other countires Comment »

Liquid cooled video cards

Desktops, XPS products submitted by junior Jan 28

I have heard this from one person, but don`t know if other people have mentioned this idea. His name is eaglewonj. The Dell XPS 720 H2C has the liquid cooled CPU (Central Processing Unit), but you need to put a liquid cooled GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) in this gaming Rig. How can you offer a high end gaming desktop with no liquid cooled GPU
Its time to put these in as Standard.

Thank You 7 Comments »

I hate waiting for webpages To open

Software submitted by saty_76 Jan 28

Well its everybody's problem. More so if u dont have a broadband connection. Well following is recommended:-
1. If u click on a page the Whole page should no reload.
2. we should have an option of 'text only' page.
3. My choice of receiving only text/ images/ should should be with the server when i m logged in on a page.
4. The web browser should be enabled to send and receive only the requested data rather than reloading the whole page.
5. If i fill a form like this one for posting my idea and incase the connection is lost i should be able to retrieve my data in case security is not involvrd.
THE CRUX IS I SHOULD HAVE THE POWER TO CHOOSE FROM TEXT ONLY, TEXT+IMAGE OR SPEED 17 Comments »

Desktops and Laptops submitted by bryan14c Jan 9

Dell should start to sell notebook with Penryn processor because it require less power more performance

T8300 3MB L2 2.40 GHz 800 MHz
T8100 3MB L2 2.10 GHz 800 MHz
specially on the XPS line etc... , well i hope DELL would not overcharge the consumers , dell can you sell this to us right now!!! for now it seems dell is falling behind again , well they have catchup with their design but somehow they fall behind with the power inside the laptop especially the penryn processors , dell hear us now implement the PENRYN processor , your behind from HP now , if you have gone to hp website and choose the dv9700t and dv6700t model you will see that HP is getting started about the Intel Penryn T9300 6MB L2 2.50 GHz as an option, , i dont know why DELL is Behind they should implement this now!!!

Offer a dual display option with desktop configurations

Monitors and Displays, New Product Ideas submitted by coachcg 11/19/07



It would be great if in the monitor selection of desktop configurations we had the option of purchasing dual displays with the system. It is easy math to figure out that cost per pixel of such a set up is MUCH less. 13 Comments »

drop DHL as a shipping courier

Service and Support submitted by hrabak 06/01/07

I suggest that Dell drop DHL as their overnight shipping courier. I have been generally unsatisfied with their service to my workplace in the past, but this week was the icing on the cake. I'm very pleased with how Dell went above and beyond to resolve the situation, even refunding my shipping fee, but DHL's terrible service was unexplainable and inexcusable. This transaction has raised my opinion of Dell, but lowered my already low opinion of DHL. Though I would love to give Dell my business in the future, if it means waiting a week for an overnight package to arrive, I would consider shopping elsewhere, at least when I'm in a hurry. Please don't lose me (and others) as a customer because of another company's shoddy service! 51 Comments »

It is not their fault, bur French women can't handle a Customer Care, no way...

Service and Support submitted by sergioo Jan 14

it is stronger than then, it is something cultural, something in ADN, something in their way of speaking, their history, I do not know, but I guess it is just simply impossible that 4 women on 4 I spoke to on Customer Care were totally unkind, and each single italian Gold Technical Support guy was simply wonderfull.
Dell, just change the Central of your Customer Care and Escalation, choose the right country for each kind of service, depending on the carachteristic of people in each country.
Swedish are not like French, italian people are not like german, and in italy someone from Milano is not as someone from Sardegna (all people in Gold Technical Support are from Sardegna, and each single one is perfect, why?).
It is simple, it is calle dorganization, strategy... Comment »
