How IdeaStorm Works:
submitted by iolanthe Jan 28
As there have been several stories online attributing a "tingle" sensation when using notebooks (of any kind, not just Dell!) that employ an AC adapter with only 2 prongs, Dell should make a 3-prong adapter the standard. The third prong provides a ground, which allows for a much more comfortable feeling as opposed to any kind of tingling or shock. Dell, please do this for the comfort and peace of mind of your customers! Dell, IdeaStorm submitted by zanlok Jan 29

But if you need more than one letter you can still hold the shift key and type!!! 11 Comments » Laptops submitted by renato Jan 30 I think it would be good to put roller between the buttons on the touchpad into notebooks..... 4 Comments » Time to CHANGE the CORPORATE CULTURE Dell submitted by phubert Jan 30

Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by melissacann2 Jan 30 I for one, would LOVE to see you make interchangable laptop skinz not made of stickers! I hate the thought of sticking some gummie cover on my laptop that would peel off in a few weeks. Than I'm stuck with a sticky mess! I want to be able to look at something cool and fresh every now and then and to able to change the look of my laptop would be cool! 10 Comments » Advertising and Marketing, Sales Strategies submitted by mo Jan 30
There should be an option when shipping PC’s or accessories, a gift option! It should be packed in a nice box, or there should be a variety of boxes to choose from .and the packaging list should not be put on the box Program to automatically install drivers Service and Support submitted by mo Jan 30 I think Dell should make a program for reinstalling the drivers; it should automatically download the appropriate drivers for that computer and install them in order it is supposed to be, because some people just install any driver they see under their service tag on the web, don’t even know the order how to install them. 3 Comments » Bluetooth Number Keypad Option for Laptops Accessories (Keyboards, etc.) submitted by rietnau Jan 27
I would like to see Dell offer a Bluetooth number pad option for laptops. The world is adopting wireless options and a search for bluetooth number pad's has turned up nothing. The closest options to external number pads are 2.4 ghz and cable based. There is one option though, and it is the Logitech Dinovo Keyboard set. I am not about to pay $170 for a keyboard set when all I want is a number pad. Enough with the blue LED's already! Monitors and Displays, Laptops submitted by chewd Jan 15
A small, sharp, pinpoint of blue light is absolutely the worst thing you could possibly do to your night vision! Theres a reason the panel lights in aircraft are always red, red light does not leave retinal artifacts that impair night-vision. Allow notebook batteries to be charged outside the notebook as well submitted by eaglewonj Jan 24
Design notebook batteries that can be charged outside the notebook on the same power adapter. This would allow two or more batteries to be charged at once. It also allows the laptop to remain away from a power adapter and have batteries brought to it that are charged remotely.

Let Us Build A PC Without Microsoft Works or Office! Software submitted by aikiwolfie 12/22/07
Dell I have absolutely no need for Microsoft Works 8.0. Especially on a PC designed for multimedia entertainment! Please give me the option of having a PC without any office software at all. 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. Make a calendar with all COMING SOON and IN PROGRESS ideas Advertising and Marketing, IdeaStorm submitted by krasmussen 09/22/07 **REVIEWED**
One of the biggest annoyances with IdeaStorm is that the horizon for an idea being implemented is very blurry, if at all existing. If you're lucky, you get "third quarter 2009", but mostly, there is no timeframe at all. This leads to the feeling that not much is being done, and exactly that feeling is what IdeaStorm should be eliminating. Make XP/Linux drivers available for all model even if only Vista is pre-installed Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Linux, Operating Systems submitted by vineets001 09/24/07 **REVIEWED**
There are good hardware models coming out. And only Vista is pre-install option. If people want to wipe off Vista and install XP or Linux, let them do that. Make a commitment to have the drivers available. 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 » 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. 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?  track my votes
