Kid tracker

New Product Ideas submitted by wgraham Jun 30

My idea is to create a computer chip wrist band for children. This wrist band would be waterproof and child proof. This product would be used to keep track of your children.... to be able to monitor your childs every step. This would be great in a stiuation of a kidnapping or a runaway. The way to keep track or view there location would be done via cell phone or the computer. This could be used for children of all ages and can not be removed unless they had a special key. 18 Comments »

Bring back higher end graphics to Vostro 1500/1510

Vostro products submitted by jsize Jun 29

I was able to select 256MB Nvidia 8600MGT graphics for 1500 and 1510 series, now the option is only 128M 8400GS.

Please bring back those options, or even better, bring 9000M series to the Vostro line. Comment »

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.
On XPS Notebooks... you are charging $500 for 4GB of ram... when you could easily go pick them up at your local computer shop for $250... and pocket the other half of the $500...

It would be nice if dell could save the customers as well as the company itself this hassle.. and start charging NORMAL prices for an upgrade in RAM.

thanks =D

PS..... PROMOTE THIS!!!!

Can we come to an agreement to delete old ideas in negative points?

IdeaStorm submitted by jervis961 Jun 28

I think that ideas with negative points that have been given ample time for voting should be looked at for deletion. (which is the idea) The question to you my fellow IdeaStorm users is what criteria should justify deletion? How long is ample time? How much in the negative should they be?

If you feel that no ideas should ever be deleted (unless they violate rules of course) go ahead and demote. I'm just trying to find a way to clean up the place a bit. 73 Comments »

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,

I have ordered laptops with missing wireless cards in the past but never checked as my office didnt use wifi. After adding wifi we discovered many of our systems didnt have wifi cards that we paid for. 1 Comment »

Provide low-profile Dell products in China P.R.

Desktops and Laptops submitted by comp_286 Jun 29

It's importart to offer low-profile (not legacy-profile) PCs in China P.R. because economy there is still DEVELOPING. The profile must be similar with a laptop profile for eco-friendly.

It could be something like this:
A Celeron processor (mobile) (Dual-core optional)
A 512MB DDR2 RAM (512x2 optional)
A 17'' Widescreen LCD Display (No Display optional)
An 80 GB SATA Hard disk drive (or larger)
A 16x DVD-ROM Drive (or COMBO)
Integrated Graphics
1U Size

About 3000 RMB is just enough. 1 Comment »

Expand Dell TechKnow 2.0 to Other Countries

Dell Community, Service and Support, Simplify IT submitted by aikiwolfie Jun 28

While browsing around Dell.com I found a video on Dell TechKnow 2.0. I think this is an excellent idea that should be expanded around the globe. Here in the UK there has been a lot of debate about the dumbing down of IT skills.

Like the US we also have problems in our class rooms a program like this could help with in similar ways as it has in the US. I think it's a great idea to identify things that people can do rather than make them feel bad about things they can't do.

Dell really deserves a round of applause for this program and should do a lot more to expand and promote it. Well done Dell! 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.

Sorry for my bad language skill. Comment »

Allow MediaDirect button to be re-assigned

Software submitted by jeopardy Jun 27

If a customer chooses to uninstall Dell MediaDirect, provide a separate configuration application which can re-assign the MediaDirect button to launch another program (eg iTunes).

This is possible by editing the registry so presumably a simple program could easily be written and included.

Perhaps this feature could be incorporated into QuickSet? 7 Comments »
