I sure hope you are not finished Dell

Gaming, Inspiron products, Laptops submitted by ccpljat Jul 9

So we got some of what we wanted in the Studio notebooks. That's GREAT!

I'm still waiting to see some dedicated graphics in the Inspirons. I don't want a hugely expensive computer, but I want to be able to run my two computer games. And they are even 3-4 years old! 16MB dedicated graphics, 64MB dedicated graphics. Integrated graphics just doesn't cut it. Give me at least 128 MB DEDICATED!!! 4 Comments »

At least 2 HDMI or 2 DisplayPort connectors on each new Ultrasharp Monitor

Gaming, Monitors and Displays submitted by eaglewonj Jul 7

I have multiple devices feeding into my Ultrasharp 24" LCD. Both the PS3 and the Xbox360 elite can output best on HDMI. My current LCD doesn't have HDMI, but the new edition does. In my case it would still require a switchbox to toggle between the units. With some laptops and desktops outputting with HDMI, perhaps it would be a good idea to have multiple inputs of each. Same would go for DisplayPort. It would cover two computers for now or whatever other devices start to use it in the future. Not a critical feature, but it would be nice not to have to buy a switchbox to toggle the HDMI inputs before toggling to HDMI on the monitor itself. 3 Comments »

MLG Gaming

Advertising and Marketing, Gaming submitted by gamer128 Jul 6

You know what I think? I think that Dell should be more involved with gaming. They already have one of the greatest o buy desktops ever, the XPS 630. Plus more gamers would want to buy from Dell. Maybe even hosts their own gaming competitions for XBOX LIVE. 7 Comments »

Dell Ultrasharp monitors

Gaming, Monitors and Displays submitted by gamer128 Jul 5

Could Dell make a monitor, that is specifically designed for gaming? And support consoles? And isn't very expensive? Because most HDTV's don't have very sharp quality, and those that do, are very expensive. 12 Comments »

Computer operated chess board

Gaming, New Product Ideas submitted by youngexzec08 Jul 3

It's a computer operated chess board. which is controlled by a wireless keypad made just the game of chess. it's a system that u can hook up to your desktop and you and your opponet can sit across from one another and control their pieces through the keyboard. For example instead of moving the knight with your hands you can press k3 so that the knight will move to the space on the board. and you can also play the game online. for example same rules apply and the pieces will move on both of the computerized chess boards... a gaming experience that will have millions of chess players very happy. and excited to play. 4 Comments »

Bring back Nvidia cards to the Ubuntu Desktop

Desktops, Gaming, Linux submitted by akincer Jun 27

The Ubuntu Inspiron only uses integrated Intel graphics. From experience, I can tell you that for gaming, this is completely unacceptable. Bring back Nvidia cards as an option. Without it, the system is not acceptable for purchase. 11 Comments »

left hand cooling vent

Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Gaming submitted by c_alexandre Jun 24

when you play WoW your left hand rests on the console sometimes for hours. Dell has the only WoW dedicated gaming system so i think you can understand that when you have your 1st three fingers of your left hand on the "W","D", and "A" keys this rests the heal of your hand on the same place for hours creating a Hotspot. perhaps a raised/vented area would work or at least a large vent to the front or side of this area would help.

Growing Gaming Community; Smaller Gaming Laptops wanted!

Gaming, Laptops submitted by djdenny123 Jun 5

With technology improving each day to shrink laptop sizes, the demand for a smaller gaming powerhouse grows exponentially. With a good majority of gamers enjoying intense, crisp LARGE image gaming on their 17" behemoths, there are still those who'd love to take gaming to the ultraportable level. Systems nowadays offer decent gaming at 14" levels, or with the Dell XPS 1330, at the 13" level. But, some of us would still love to see a smaller laptop. Take the Sony VAIO TZ model for instance: right now it doesn't offer a whole lot of multimedia-based freedom, but the design is inarguably a sexy machine. I can put money down that gamers would love to be able to game on this ultraportable 11" screen.

So the topic is: will we be seeing a similar sexy model (ideally 11") ultraportable decent gaming powerhouse sometime in the near future? Or can Dell at least answer to such a call and consider possibly making the market's first ultraportable gaming rig? I'm sure with the introduction of Solid State drives and nVidia vigourously shrinking graphic card sizes, it can be possible in the near future.

Any comments one can elaborate on? Because in my honest opinion, gamers will love the ultraportability of their gaming, not so much how amazing the quality of video is (unless you're a hardcore, desktop-replacement psycho ;] haha) 4 Comments »

More Options on the XPS 630

Gaming, Sales Strategies, XPS products submitted by darkness_flame May 4

Personally, I like the XPS 630; it's only a few hundred more than making a similar computer yourself, but it has a really nice case, is put together for you, and comes under warranty. However, I would really like to see more options available on this computer, as well as some changes made.

Processor: Add more quad core options. You only choose between the cheapest, and one of the most expensive. I think Dell should allow the Q9300, Q9450, and Q9550 to be options. If none others, at least the Q9450; it is an extremely popular quad core processor, and could be offered at about $100 more than the Q6600 that is offered now.

Memory: As more gamers move towards Vista, they are realizing how the operating system can utilize more RAM. I would think the options for more RAM and higher speed RAM should be cheaper.

Graphic Cards: Add the option for the NVidia 9600GT. It is growing excessively popular, is cheaper than the 8800 GT and the 3870, and has nearly as much speed as the 3870. It has all of that while still offering relatively high speed. I think the XPS 630 would benefit from having this card as a slightly cheaper option that still provides a lot of performance with less power.

Motherboard: This is an option that I have never seen used. However, I would like to see Dell offer the NVidia 750i chipset as an optional motherboard upgrade. If offered for a $50-100 upgrade, it could allow the buyers to better utilize the full speed of the Wolfdale and Yorkfield cores, as well as have better performance overall.

I believe that if those ideas were implemented and put into action, Dell would further draw in the PC Gaming crowd. 5 Comments »

Give a choice of either Ati or Nvidia gpu's

Gaming, Desktops and Laptops submitted by theideasman Mar 23

Everyone is a fanboy to one particular brand and prefers their products, so why do some desktops and a lot of laptops only have one option. There should be at least one Ati card and one Nvidia card available for each machine so people dont have to go for the brand they dont want. Its only fair... 6 Comments »
