How IdeaStorm Works:
Laptops submitted by gradinw Jun 27 Laptops should have a built in USB flash drive that can be ejected and used whenever and then put back into the laptop. This should not be some storage spot but a live USB port that is inside the machine so that the flashdrive is always available. 14 Comments » Discounts, Credit, or Cash for Recycling Old Laptops and Computers Sales Strategies submitted by wendaline Jun 19 I think Dell should offer customers either a discount, credit, or cash back for recycling their old computers. Both HP and Toshiba do this, so, why not Dell? If they did this it would help the enviroment while gaining loyal customers or keeping already loyal customers from going to their competetors AND they could refurbish the old parts and start selling refurbished computers at lower prices for those of us who can't afford to spend a fortune on a new computer. Come on Dell execs listen to your consumers, the ones who pay your salery, and keep us as your customers. Do you really want the other companies to win? 1 Comment » Add more staff to the Linux development team. Linux, Service and Support submitted by aikiwolfie Jun 25 The Linux guys at Dell do a great job. But there just aren't enough of them to meet our impatient demands. Please take on a few extra bodies with Linux programing credentials to speed things up! 2 Comments » Eliminate M1330 heat related failures XPS products submitted by hkt Jun 18
I'd like to bring to your attention to a design problem with the Dell XPS M1330 with the nVidia 8400 GS option. Cut the cost of a 9-cell battery upgrade Sales Strategies, Laptop Power submitted by ccpljat May 6
Yes a 9-cell is more powerful and lasts longer, but $169? Come on. It can't be that much. Cut down the price to honestly reflect the difference. I mean good grief, you can buy a 9-cell replacement for an Inspiron 1720 for $154! An upgrade is always supposed to be less. Dell needs to listen to customers and stop adding junk like shortcut links to Ebay to desktops. Advertising and Marketing, Desktops and Laptops submitted by jervis961 Jun 18
I can't believe they haven't learned anything from this site. Service and Support submitted by meand3ts Jun 30 I have been very upset trying to get help with my Dell product. I could not understand the person and they could not understand what I was saying. So why don't you use Housewifes who don't work or Househusbands. A lot of people don't have jobs that know how to work on computers. So, instead of paying them a salary pay them on each job they do. You don't have a hourly salary, no benefits to pay, and they will have someone here in the US. Now if it is something they can't handle then they pass it on to someone that can. That person don't have to be staff but someone that knows computers. You can also offer classes to those that want more training. I am sure your complaints will go down. To make sure they have solved the problem you send a survey to the customer. 2 Comments » Produce a laptop that can be used on a lap New Product Ideas, Laptops submitted by oligarch Jun 24
Laptops have grown to be unuseable comfortably on a lap due to heat, screen position and keyboard ergonomics. I would like to retain the power of current offerings to handle video, computation and average games, but to be light and easily useable without a tray/cooler and to still have a good screen size (say 15" or so). Another comment from Michael Dell on Ideastorm. IdeaStorm submitted by jmxz Jun 30
It's been well over a year since Micheal Dell commented on IdeaStorm. It was nice to see his comments, since that made it look like IdeaStorm was really valued all the way up in Dell. Starbuck's CEO has posted more recently than that on their ideastorm, and some of Dell's competitors are very open in interacting with their users on their blogs many times a month. Thank you to all of our community for your ideas and suggestions! We are listening and learning a great deal and changing our company with your ideas.But for the past year there's no sign that he cares anymore. Just so we know this site still matters to Dell, have Michael Dell come by at least once a year and comment on the ten highest voted ideas so we know the votes mean something too. Even if his only comment is "I can't comment on this one", we'd at least know he's aware of what the top voted ideas are. 8 Comments » Put Ubuntu on the list of operating systems when building a PC! Linux, Sales Strategies, Desktops and Laptops submitted by samb0057 08/10/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
Ubuntu is hidden in a dark corner of the website. I work in IT support, and I have a client who was having virus problems a little while ago. I fixed the problem by installing Ubuntu on their PC. Very recently they called me asking for advice on a new computer, I told them about your new offer providing Ubuntu pre-installed on PCs and they wanted to purchase, but could not find the section on your site (this person is a very basic user, doesn't know what open-source means, probably didn't even see the open source link). There is no way they would have found your Ubuntu section on their own. There should be an option of having no trialware on all computers Software submitted by jervis961 08/23/07 **REVIEWED**
Here is a news article about trialware and how Dell feels that regular customers want it but small business ones do. Do they not look at the ideas here? 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! 62 Comments » Laptops, Laptop Power submitted by badblood 05/20/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
MagSafe power connectors, by Apple, are magnetic power connectors that pull out harmlessly when the cord is tripped upon. Please make Ubuntu XPS Notebook cheaper than XPS Vista Notebook Linux, Operating Systems, XPS products submitted by dki May 26
Hi, Stop Overcharging on Notebook RAM Sales Strategies, Laptops submitted by realskript 08/28/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
Dell really... REALLY need to stop overcharging... and when i say overcharing... i mean atleast double what you would pay to pick up the ram yourself. Laptops submitted by ninjagecko Jul 1
It seems that tablet PCs have gotten worse in the last 4 years; 4 years ago I got a 1400x1050 resolution 2GHz single-core tablet from an unnamed competitor. Such things are non-existent today. New Every Two Just like cellphones Sales Strategies, Desktops and Laptops submitted by jacqsj14 Jun 30 All Dell laptops and computers can be traded in for the latest model every two years. Our castoffs are refurbished and sold to schools and underdeveloped countries! 4 Comments » 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. No Promotional Stickers Option Dell submitted by thebittersea 07/15/07
Stop using any stickers or the option to have no promotional stickers on your new PC during the ordering process. NICE New Dell montor! Keep making great designs like this. Monitors and Displays submitted by jmxz 05/18/07
