How IdeaStorm Works:
Improve website style in China P.R. Dell Web Site submitted by comp_286 Jun 29
The Dell website in China P.R. is still with "legacy" style. 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 » Healthcare submitted by bswanson Jun 30 Dell should make a small device that would be housed in the lower part of the seat belt device. when clicking the seat belt together the device would act as a kill switch allowing the car to start when the key is turned. Without the two together the key turn alone will not start the engine. The safety belt has to be worn and in place before starting the car. The lower part of the belt would be hard wired to the computer under the rug sending a signal to the computer that the driver is safley secured in the seat. This device would only be for the driver side seat. This idea is synonymous to the keys with chips that was designed for security. This idea is designed for safety of all those on the road. It does not have to stop with cars, but can be implemented to construction vehicles, private planes, buses, semi's, etc.... it would not take much for dell to partner with automakers to make this product and save lives. 4 Comments » Young International Proud Parents Dell Community, Software submitted by candacemichelle_1 Jun 30
I heard on the Steve Harvey Morning Show that Dell is looking for new innovative ideas much like the logic behind such successes as Myspace and Facebook. I believe there needs to be a website specifically catered to a network of international young parents. Some of these young people need guidance in parenting. The ages of this free membership would range from 13 years old to 25 years old. Mandriva Linux Spring 2008.1 w/powerpack Linux submitted by ringas85 Jun 29
I recently converted my Windows Vista Dell Inspiron 1501 to a Mandriva Linux Spring 2008.1 and it's simply awesome!I find it more stable than Ubuntu. Mandriva is KDE based with the optional GNOME environment too. But I find it better than Ubuntu in ways that some configuration is better,they have better layouts of configuring the system.Some ways Ubuntu is better,and some Mandriva is better too. Also Mandriva had a portable flash drive so you can take your Linux anywhere and use it on any pc that supports USB Boot Up'.Thats a major benefit in my mind,the ability to take your desktop anywhere,literally! Anyone who enjoys Ubuntu will enjoy Mandriva, wish to see Mandriva as an option for opensource on dell. And Mandriva power-pack offers DVD Playback! Hope to see some positive comments on this =o) EXTERNAL POWER BUTTON FOR LAPTOPS, and better external display support Laptops submitted by ringas85 Jun 29 Wish Dell would make powerbuttons elsewhere than opening the laptop cover and pressing the power button.This kinda makes it annoying for people like me whose laptop is connected to a 20 inch HD LCD monitor and doesnt care for the built-in laptop screen.This would make a laptop feel most like a laptop/desktop crossover, and if the dell boot-screen & bios automatically switched to external display once it was connected or the external display was powered up that would be a bonus! 6 Comments » Dell should have linux computers this affordable! Linux submitted by ringas85 Jun 29 Check out the link,it says it all if you read into it http://store.mandriva.com/product_info.php?products_id=381&osCsid=0f85e0b2cd9... 1 Comment » Show Dell PCs with Ubuntu Linux in stores & TV in China P.R. Advertising and Marketing submitted by comp_286 Jun 29
It's happy to see that Dell has already opened stores in China P.R. to meet the favor of Chinese people. 1/2 of the products included in store are n-series, with Ubuntu Linux or Red Flag Linux. But it's weird that these products are all running Microsoft Windows XP! It's common in China P.R. to use illegal copies of Microsoft Windows XP, so it's necessary for Dell to tell customers what is open source and what could they achieve from it. If customers could experience Ubuntu Linux or other distributions, they will know how the performance is. To increase sales in China P.R., Show ads on TV is also very important. Add more options of Ubuntu is also necessary. checklist/packing list with every system Service and Support, Desktops and Laptops submitted by undead999 Jun 29
Include and easy to read packing list with every system that lists all included hardware and software. Place this in top tray of the pc box, Dell could add check boxes so buyers could check off everything as they unpack their system. Include infromation about checking hardware from the device manager. this will aid in assuring buyers get all hardware and software they paid for, if something is missing buyers can contact dell before the 14 day cutoff time to report somethng is missing, put new Centrino 2 chips on the new studios Desktops and Laptops submitted by yardsale Jun 26 "Dell Dock" makes Studio Laptops look like a Mac! Software, Laptops submitted by james-94 Jun 26 I don't know about anyone else but i think that the new "Dell Dock" that comes with the new Studio 15 and Studio 17 laptops would make it look like a mac. The "Dell Dock" should be an option if you want it installed. Also if you don't want your desktop cluttered with icons move them to the quick launch or something not to a dock. 5 Comments » Train your tech support team about what featurs your BIOS's support. Service and Support submitted by jmxz Jun 26
Quoting a comment in under a different idea: I just purchased an XPS M1530... The laptop came wih bios A07 installed. I installed [tried Oracle VM, but the BIOS didn't support the CPU's virtualization feature]. I upgraded to A08. ... I just want t encourage Dell to provide virtualization and mark it's availability clearly. Neither Dell support or the Best Buy Geek Squad could tell me anything about what the bios supported. C'mon. Tech Support should be able to answer such questions. If a Dell customer who bought one of your XPS's can't answer questions like that, where do you expect them to turn? (my guess: Apple) 1 Comment » Give Ubuntu iso's made for all Dell laptops Linux, Laptops submitted by nimdori Jun 26
Even for those you don't sell with Ubuntu. Increase R&D - create your own competitive advantage technology Dell submitted by pablohs Jun 25
The rule in the PC world has always been “evolution not revolution”. Dell, like many other PC manufacturers, just does “Product Development” – They take parts and pieces from many suppliers, put them together and have designers make it look nice and we get a new PC or Laptop. This is often done by simply incorporating features from other platforms. The changes are incremental and produce incremental performance boosts. 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 » Matte (non-glossy) screen option on Studio laptops Laptops submitted by blomster Jun 26 Please add the OPTION of a matte screen to the new Studio 15 and Studio 17 laptops -- preferably to all of the available resolution and backlight versions. Glossy displays are a deal-breaker for me. 4 Comments » Add "Narrow Your Selection" choice for laptop screen finish Dell Web Site submitted by blomster Jun 26
Below is the list of choices (with a proposed addition) in the "Narrow Your Selection" feature of Dell's US website for laptop / notebook computers. It's getting increasingly hard to find notebooks without glossy screens on Dell's website. Please add a choice for glossy/matte finish, as shown below.

I'm pretty frustrated to receive a flyer with a Inspiron 1525 laptop on sale for $599 while the Ubuntu laptop with the same specs are $699. Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Servers and Storage submitted by retro77 Jun 24
The cable arms on the servers are very loose, they hang down instead of flat. Also they build up a lot heat, impeding airflow out the back of the rack. Monitors and Displays submitted by winoffice Jun 24
