Broadband and Mobility Ideas
Tell us what WiFi chipset a laptop has. Broadband and Mobility, Dell Web Site, Linux, Laptops submitted by tonyb2006 08/29/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
Tell us the WiFi chipset used in a laptop before we buy it so we know if the WiFi chipset supports a feature we want, or if it supports Linux or another operating system that we intend to use. The WiFi chipset being like "Intel ipw2200" or "Broadcom BCM4306", or "Ralink rt2500". Allow option for "Automatically Detect Proxy Settings" in Location Profiler Broadband and Mobility submitted by chrisp123 May 5 I use the Dell QuickSet Location Profiler to adjust my default printer and control my wireless adapter. However, there is an annoying problem with the Location Profiler: whenever the Location Profiler changes the location, it turns off Internet Explorer's ability to automatically detect the proxy settings of the current network. Location Profiler has a way to specify proxy settings, but it does not provide a way to allow Internet Explorer to automatically detect proxy settings. Every time I change locations, I have to go to Internet Explorer's Tools menu, Internet Options, Connections, LAN Settings, check the box next to "Automatically Detect Settings", clik OK, close Internet Explorer, then re-open Internet Explorer. Please have your software engineers add an option button to the Browser tab of the Location Profiler settings to specify that Internet Explorer should automatically detect proxy settings. Comment » Broadband and Mobility, Gaming, XPS products submitted by icarus75 Apr 13
Inspired by the XPS 16-inch concept at CES 2008, but thinking about something a little more powerful, I'm hoping for a perfect blend of mobility, gaming, and native 16:9 high-definition viewing. Broadband and Mobility, Laptops submitted by layzer Apr 20 In the battle for mobility everyone is trying to make an ultra-thin notebook - however there are few choices for smaller footprint notebooks which are A5 sized (as big as a hardcover book). I think this would be an excellent form factor for mobility and usability. The rise of the Windows Mobile PDA should support this need - if people are trying to do emails and even spreadsheets on a PDA then an A5 sized device is not too small! 2 Comments » Ati mobility hd 3870 in m1530!!! PLEASE!!! Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Broadband and Mobility, Laptops submitted by theideasman Mar 16
Unfortunately at the moment the only way to get a high performance card in a 15.4 notebook is to buy the alienware m15x. However this notebbok has a few faults to portable users. Its heavy and its very thick. Not a thin frame 15.4 at all. Oh and lets not even start on the price... I wish Dell could incorporate Hot plug/Hot swap for eSATA drives in their BIOS. Broadband and Mobility, Servers and Storage submitted by bostski 06/23/07
I wish Dell could incorporate Hot plug/Hot swap for eSATA drives in their BIOS. When you look on the internet many new external drives now have eSATA connections because it is so much faster than USB and Firewire. I just got the XPS 410 which has Intel P965 and 82801HR/HH/HO (ICH8R) chipset for a host controller and the Matrix Storage Manager. On the Intel website there should be hot swap capability on the Matrix Storage Technology website http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/matrixstorage_sb.htm http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/imst/sb/cs-012308.htm. Keep AXIM 51v...just upgrade it....would be AWSOME !! Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Broadband and Mobility submitted by pillsbury 10/08/07
I want an Axim X51V that can make phone calls! Why not be able to have your cake and eat it too? I think Dell could market the PDA phone like they did the Axim line (and iMate is) by having different form factors and performances to chose from. The phone I desire, that is not made YET, would have the following essential specs listed in no particular order: Offer the new mobility HD 3000 series as an option on laptops Broadband and Mobility, Gaming, Laptops submitted by theideasman Mar 16
Nvidias cards produce more juice overall however when it comes to portable cards i belive ati have always been the best. While i love nvidia they always slightly disappoint me on the mobile graphics card front. They always produce cards that are much slower than their desktop equivalents. Ati on the other hand have just announced the mobility hd3000 series which should apparently fit in smaller framed 15.4 laptops. Thats what the mainstream want. DON'T KILL THE AXIM PDA's platform Broadband and Mobility submitted by optical10 02/23/07
The world leading x51v WM5 device is only now being bettered by HTC's future "Advantage” PDA / Smartphone matching the Axim 624 MHz power etc 2 years after the party started by Dell's forward thinking product! X51 WM5SE, Axim going is support also going? Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Broadband and Mobility, Service and Support submitted by pedah 03/25/07 The Axim x51/51v is the most powerful PDA in the market today, that is not a combined device, will dell discontinue support when they have no more to sell? Will we as users see WM5SE upgrade, let alone WM6 upgrade released by dell? I would hope so, Don't leave faithful users high and dry. Comment » Make Gigabit Ethernet Standard on Notebooks Broadband and Mobility, Laptops submitted by techsage 02/24/07
This should be a given at the least for Small Business and above notebooks. Another option would be to at least allow an option for this with an additional charge. This feature is very important for those wishing to do quicker backups via the network (since this is faster than even via USB 2.0). Apple and Sony, if not others as well have this as standard at this point. Broadband and Mobility submitted by bootdoc120 11/20/07 How about putting open source supported wireless cards in all you laptops and desktops so when some one wants to switch from winbloze to linux, the wireless config is painless! 1 Comment » Make an Axim with a bigger screen Broadband and Mobility, Monitors and Displays submitted by tmcqueen 02/23/07 Wouldn't it be great to have a real tablet that you could use to take notes on? The reason that tablet PCs didn't take off was the price. I would love to see a handleld PC/Mobile device that had a screen that was big enough to use! Why do all Windows Mobile (or PalmOS, etc.) devices have to be 3x5? You can't do anything comfortably on that. I would like to see a Windows Mobile device that has a 5x8 or even an 8.5x11 display. Comment » Broadband and Mobility, Software submitted by presto_fabien 05/19/07 **IMPLEMENTED**
I know I voted for no additional software on dell computer but, please, for people who will choose to keep their softwares, add DellConnect in the bundle. XPS M1330 with Gigabit Ethernet Broadband and Mobility, XPS products, Laptops submitted by macavity 07/11/07
I think it would be really good for the M1330 to have Gigabit networking for various reasons. Build a Windows Mobile PDA Phone Broadband and Mobility submitted by dealerss Apr 2 When is Dell going to come out with a line of Windows Mobile powered PDA phones? I have heard rumors that this is happening but I would love to know/see more info on this. Dell made great Axim PDA's with a very loyal following so there is no reason you can come out with a great PDA phone. Please make them in CDMA flavor so they work on the Verizon network! 15 Comments » External wifi antenna connector Broadband and Mobility, Laptops submitted by cromo 02/17/07 I came into this idea some time ago. The idea is simple - to put an external wifi connector on the back of the laptop and a button to switch between internal and external antennas. There are loads of different solutions for laptop users that need better signal reception for their wifi cards, most of them simply increase transmitting power (thus exposing us, the users to higher radiation) while all the problems could be easly solved by adding external connector and some some cheap and small external antenna. It would be nice to see such connector on the replicator port, too. Considering the forthcomming WiMax that will be mostly used by ISPs to provide internet connection I am sure such external antenna connector is even a must for the laptops that will come with integrated WiMax card. 6 Comments » Make GPS an Option on All Laptops Broadband and Mobility submitted by badblood 05/26/07 Wi-Fi Catcher on Laptop, what is the point Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Broadband and Mobility, Laptops submitted by lukemcurley Mar 31
Can Dell re-consider the inclusion of their Wi-Fi Catcher application as I do not see the point of it over the standard Windows Wi-Fi manager. It is to no benefit to me, actually I have found myself turning off Wi-Fi by accident when trying to use it, which means I pushed the switch the wrong way.
