Offer No OS Option on all PCs for Home / Small Business Markets

Operating Systems submitted by gear Apr 22

Why not sell PCs with no OS installed and just include the drivers disk for popular OSes that are known to work on it like (XP, Linux, and Vista).

I already have licenses for XP and Linux and I can install my own here.

Having the drivers disk would mean I don't have to download them. 3 Comments »

XPS Laptop Dual Cooling

XPS products, Laptops, Laptop Power submitted by funeagle Apr 27

1) Keep the internal fan for standard cooling when carrying the laptop around.

2) Allow the user to select a dual cooling (water plugs) as an option when configuring the laptop.

3) Hide the two water plugs inside the notebook like on the image bellow:


The user can:
1) Plug in the waterpipes when using it for extensive period at home
2) Pull out the waterpipes when moving the notebook

This way the users will be able to disperse the heat when using the laptop at home using powerful and yet affordable cooling to make the laptop enjoyably silent. Imagine a silent laptop with a reserator like on the picture bellow:

Overclocking options

Sales Strategies, Desktops and Laptops submitted by carlobaluta 02/20/07

Have overclocking options in BIOS, as other motherboard manufacturers have. This should apply to high end gaming machines, designed for people who know what they are doing.
Also, i believe this kind of computers are way too pricey as I can always buy the parts and build such a machine for way less and with far more options...

Standardize Power Cables for Laptops

Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by badblood 08/27/07 **UNDER REVIEW**

Nothing is more annoying than laptop power cables that are not interchangeable from one computer model to another or from one brand of computer to another. Power cables have been standardized on most electrical applicances, including desktop computers for decades.

Make an effort to promote and implement standard power cables for laptops.
