How IdeaStorm Works:
Hot-swappable laptop batteries. Laptop Power submitted by jmxz May 31
I'd like to be able to swap the battery on my laptop without having to turn it off or hibernate it. It seems you could do this by putting a large capacitor or tiny internal battery that could provide power for the 30 seconds or so it takes to switch to a spare battery. Another way you might be able to do this is instead of having one big battery in each laptop, have 2 small ones instead; and you could swap them one at a time.

Come on guys, in 2008 there should be only optical mice available. Also please make it clear on the web site what people are purchasing. 26 Comments » Monitors and Displays, Laptops submitted by penguinsa Jul 4
In my searches of laptops, under "Home & Home Office", I couldn't find any 15.4 inch WUXGA (1920x1200) machines. I foolishly concluded they didn't exist- Make it easier to clean the Fans on laptops Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by pwl2706 Jul 10
It is very difficult to clean the fans on laptops...and the more dust that builds up over time increases the heat inside. Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Sales Strategies, Desktops and Laptops submitted by rarmasu 02/21/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**
I find myself many, many times in dark or poorly lit environments having to guess the various keys - would be fantastic to have a backlit keyboard - with backlit individual keys as the best option. Monitors and Displays, Laptop Power submitted by yardsale Jan 16 I dont know why dell hasnt done this yet. switch all monitors on desktops and notebooks to LED. did you know that you can run an LED screen at full brightniess and it uses less power than a LCD monitor at the lowest brighting level?!? its cheaper, its energy efficent, and it needs to be done! promote this, if you demote i wanna know why! 63 Comments » Have Firefox pre-installed as default browser Software submitted by robinjfisher 02/19/07 **REVIEWED**
Does what it says on the tin! Most people only use IE because they aren't aware of other browsers - they think Internet Explorer is the Internet! What would really drive take up of alternative browsers is if Firefox was pre-installed as the default browser so that when people look for the "Internet" in Windows, they are using FF.

In the last shipment of computers I received I was shocked by the amount of plastic wrap used for items like power cords, USB cables, VGA/DVI cables. Do these items really need to be individually wrapped in a plastic bag. I can just imagine the tons of plastic used by Dell annually... Don't charge up to $50 more to downgrade from Vista to XP Operating Systems - Multiboot, Desktops and Laptops submitted by jervis961 Jun 17 Dell is going to start charging customers up to $50 to downgrade thier systems operating system from Vista to XP after Wednesday. While some people see XP as an upgrade, I don't think there should be a charge for it. 43 Comments » XPS products submitted by xdivino Jul 22
When you refresh the XPS range, you should include 64bit OS as standard or as optional. Sell ink cartridges at local retail Printers and Ink, Sales Strategies submitted by guardianxps 02/21/07 **IMPLEMENTED**
So, for convenience and ease of access, can Dell sell ink cartridges through local retail stores? I realize Dell is an online store; and not suggesting you stop the online part, but also make it available through retail stores. Considering weather or other natural occurrences, and the latest discomfort from DHL leaving the ink cartridges on the door just to be stolen gets annoying.

Would love the ability to have a clean Vista install. No AOL software, no earthlink software, no google software - just a clean, original OS. Include thermal grease with processor instead of motherboard Service and Support submitted by soneil 10/26/07 Went ordering part or receiving part under warrenty. Dell include thermal grease with a new motherboard but don't include it with a new processor. 2 Comments » IdeaStorm feature: Allow us to browse based on the Dell-assigned tags IdeaStorm submitted by cosh 05/18/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**
Dell assign "status tags" to some of the popular/notable ideas on this website, but they are tiny little things under the title of each idea, and there is no way to search or browse by them. Dell.com: Save configuration as PDF / Image Dell Web Site submitted by rafael.gattringer 10/30/07
