Super Sleek Ultra Sexy Dell Laptop

Laptops submitted by undoit 02/21/07

Having done tech support professionally over the past 7 years, I've gathered people's opinions of various computer brands.

I think the general opinion of Dell is that their laptops are boxy and unattractive. A lot of people are not interested in purchasing a Dell because they don't like the aesthetics and believe that the build quality is poor due to the outer appearance. I also think a lot of people don't care for the "dude" image.

Being a power user myself, I appreciate owning Dell laptops. My current Inspiron may not be as sleek as my MacBook, but I go for functionality over form. I like that my Dell laptops have been easy to upgrade, usually have the latest cutting-edge technology available, provide options for user input (dual pointing devices), come with a full install of Windows so I can wipe out all the junk that comes preloaded and have different screen options (resolution and glossy or matte) among other reasons.

I think Dell should focus on designing an ultra thin laptop with smooth lines. This would give users who value aesthetic appeal a very good reason to purchase a Dell laptop. 5 Comments »

Avoid Glare On Screens and Notebook Frames

Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Sales Strategies, Laptops submitted by bobetsue 02/20/07

Glare and reflection from high glare screens, screen frames, and notebook computers is annoying and distract from function and use.

In stores, this may be a marketing ploy. Consumers may not fully understand the problem of glare. Online sellers like Dell should inform buyers when shopping whether the screen and case are "glare" or "nonglare."

When "nonglare" was introduced to television, shoppers considered it an advantage worthy of extra expense. In the art world, nonglare glass is considered worthy of extra expense.

How did we ever get glossy screens?

Dell should offer customers a choice between "glare" and "nonglare." 3 Comments »

Choice of glossy or matt displays on notebooks

Monitors and Displays, Sales Strategies, Laptops submitted by flosack 02/22/07

It would be very helpful to have the choice between the two types of displays:
- glossy: they are better for watching tv or dvd, they have a deeper black, but you can use them to shave or make up yourself
- matt: you can can see everything on the display, even in very shiny enviroments, but you might see a black which rather looks like a dark grey

Currently, on the business line (Latitude) the most machines comes with a matt display. It would be great for home users who don't want to look dvds on it, to have the choice of buying a notebook without a glossy display.
Otherwise for some business men it would be nicer to have a notebook with a glossy display. 4 Comments »

Dell charges a lot for its brand of monitors. Would it be too difficult for dell to provide anti-glare screens with the monitors? 10 Comments »
