How IdeaStorm Works:
Ship a regular clean system please! Software, Desktops and Laptops submitted by euripedes 04/24/07
Why do you insist on installing all manner of trial software and broadband offers? When I uninstalled all the rubbish that came on the system it became very unstable and bluescreened regularly upon Windows startup. Dell submitted by jmxz 03/15/07
I think it's telling of where Dell's priorities lay when most of your boxes has a sticker that says "Designed for Microsoft [XP or Windows or Vista]" on it. Wouldn't it be better if you designed your products for your customers first; and particular software vendors's agendas second? Notebooks - better quality, better options, better design Sales Strategies submitted by dspector 02/17/07
I have been in the market for a laptop for almost 6 months now. I have avoided buying one as I havent found one that actually fit my needs perfectly. Would be Nice to Get the New Hybrid Hard Drives As Soon As Possible Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Desktops and Laptops submitted by guest_houston 02/17/07
Sometime this year some hard disk makers are to release "hybrid hard drive" technology, which is supported by the new Windows Vista. Sales Strategies submitted by macka 03/14/07
Don't take it when it comes to upgrade prices. It's Dell that is losing out here. Better Service Tag Placement... Or Stickers! Desktops and Laptops submitted by john_saddington 02/18/07
Dell should provide a way to assist customers find their service tag easier. I know that the computer has software that can show the customer their service tag, but, sometimes all I want to do is just "see" it. Environment, Sales Strategies submitted by smotchberry 02/17/07 **IMPLEMENTED**
Dell should adopt a Carbon Neutral program for its products or at least make it an option for consumers in their ordering process. People seem to have the impression that Apple is doing a lot for the environment, when the reality is - Dell's doing more and can do even more! Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptop Power submitted by fcnc05 02/16/07 I have a Dell 17in notebook and I love it. Don't mind to carry around at all. But haveing to unplug, wind up all the cables and pack the power brick together really annoys me. So It would be very nice if dell make available for the large form factor laptop (at least the 17 and 20in) a power brick the same size of the battery, so I could replace it (an internal power supply). A retractable power cord inside would be a plus. Even better if had 1 or 2 batteries cells inside so it could give a 15minutes for emergencies. Why have 6 or 9 cells...it barely gives me one hour anyway....This kind of notebook really is a Desktop replacement, so why bother about batteries? Get rid of the power suplly and it would be MUCH better! 14 Comments » Performance Tablet/Thin and Light Gaming, Laptops submitted by chungng 02/17/07
What I'd like to be able to buy from Dell: no lighting available on laptop Laptops submitted by howardnyc 02/17/07
while my IBM ThinkPad had its flaws, there was one nice thing which made it easier to use on airplanes, seminars and whenever I did a presentation.... Let customers choose what trialware/demoware to pre-install to subsidize their machine. Sales Strategies, Software submitted by jmxz 04/19/07
Many people understandably complain about third party software on Dells (it's one of the top rated items on ideastorm). McAfee Trial - (subtract $10) on your purchase pages.Norton Trial - (subtract $15) AOL trial - (subtract $20) MSN default search engine (subtract $20) Microsoft Works - (subtract $100) That would give people who don't want the hassle of the third party windows software ways to avoid it; and it would give power users who don't mind it and know how to uninstall/avoid it the benefit of the cheaper subsidized machine. Personally I would get them all -- yes, including Norton and Macafee and any other antivirus programs - because the first thing I'd do is remove Windows from the machine anyway. But it would be interesting to see if I can get a machine sufficiently cheaper that my savings would offset the time it would take to install Linux vs the presumably higher cost of buying a less subsidized pre-installed Linux machine. 9 Comments » A Dell Laptop I can use on my lap! (without being burned) Laptops submitted by oldsalerogls 02/17/07
I proudly own a 2 year old dell laptop 600m- but it's got heat issues.. who can use their Laptop for 20 minutes before then Laptop begins to get more than warm..and your going to get possibly burned. Dell Web Site, Sales Strategies submitted by john_saddington 02/17/07
Dell should provide a way for customers to accrue rewards, or points, for purchases! I have bought a number of Dell computers over the years, and would love to see some appreciation for my allegiance! Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by theblackcat 02/19/07 Currently most desktop PCs come with 4 slots to insert RAM. This is extremely useful since it is often much more expensive in total to buy 1 DIMM then it is to buy 2 DIMMs that are each half as large. However, DELL laptops only come with 2 slots for RAM. So if you wanted to get 4 GB of RAM you would need two 2 GB modules, which is extremely expensive (as you can see on the website). However, if the laptops were to have 4 RAM slots instead of 2 then you could have four 1GB modules and save a ton of money (close to $500 on the Latitude D820, for example). At least on the larger laptop models there is plenty of space, the RAM modules are pretty small relative to the size of the laptop and the bottom of the motherboard is mostly empty space from the looks of things. This could also be extremely useful with the move to 64 bit processors, since they can use far more than 4 GB of RAM but currently it is not possible to have more than that simply because of how the laptops are designed. 2 Comments » Don't Make Me Go Straight to Crucial after ordering Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Sales Strategies submitted by pepitoe 02/19/07 Memory prices are still ridiculous, and it is common knowledge that if you want more than the standard memory in a dell, you buy it elsewhere. If you priced it more competitively you might actually sell more. At the moment to upgrade from 1GB to 2GB in an Inspiron 9400 costs £211.50, the same from Crucial is £119.94 and you will have 1GB of Dells memory left to sell or whatever. 5 Comments » Laptop & Desktop Boot in seconds from Flash Drives Broadband and Mobility, Desktops and Laptops submitted by reg 02/19/07

Dell Web Site submitted by jervis961 02/17/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
People may not realize that Vista gives your computer a performance rating based on several factors (processor, RAM, hard drive and video card). 87 Comments » Universal power adapter (power supply) for all Dell products Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptop Power submitted by rguptaos-dyndns 02/19/07
How many of us have to buy multiple “AC / DC Adapter or power bricks” for each of electronic devices and laptops? I have power supply adapter for home, office and travel bag… about 2-3 of these for my laptop, cell phone and external hard disk or other devices I use.
