I am doing a project about green purchasing practice in Electronic sector. Would you provide me some information about dell's green purchasing practice?

I agree with Rotan. You can park the green silliness right next to the global warming fraud. Build good upgradeable computers that can last for years and that will be the best thing Dell can do for the environment.

The biggest thing that dell can do to show that they really care about the environment is to quit making disposable equipment. Offer more upgrades to current systems in the form of MB upgrades to allow systems to support newer processors like they did with the XPS. This will greatly reduce the number of whole systems that are thrown away. If dell was a leader in making there systems that last longer and were known to offer more upgrade options for systems that they sell they would have made more money from me and the many people I recommend systems for. The same goes for printers. Many people now are just buying a new printer every time the ink runs out because it is cheaper to buy a new printer then buy the ink. This is the case with all the dell printers (I have looked at) including the high end business printers. I do not mind paying more for a quality printer but when the ink costs more then the printer something is wrong. On that same note when the support contract for a printer is more then the printer people are more likely to just toss it when it dies rather then fix it further leading to waste.

Joey Rotan: do you really think this something Dell decided for themselves? In a lot of countries ROHS has to be in place, otherwise governments and larger businesses wont buy your product. If they wanted to go green they could have done so years ago, this is just good old supply and demand talking.

who cares if you guys are green? i just want a computer that runs good. if you guys are going to start using recycle items and low grade quaility parts and plastic, than forget about it. i am not spending over a grand for an inferior computer.

HP just released a computer that is 95% recyclable. it looks like it will fall apart any minute with an uninspiried case. plus the specs in it are awful.

just stop with these poltiics. i am already offended by dell's liberal stance on this subject. and very annoyed on your configuration screen that waste my time asking me if i want to plant a tree or recycle my dell computer. i mean one thing you should fix is the website configurator. put some time in that, the options are very minimal.

Thanks Lionel,

dell_admin1 just spoke up on an issue reguarding HTLM use problems on the site. As for the notebook, If it is true (I know you cannot comment) please tell the powers that be to hurry up and make some announcements.

Keep up the good work.

jervis961: I can confirm that dell_admin1 is alive and well. I worked with her to coordinate this stuff late yesterday afternoon. Loved the thread last week wondering where she was.

The Ideas in Action update sometimes takes a while to update.. the new info should be there soon.

Regarding the 13.3" notebook you mentioned, I did see an article yesterday. Not much to say here... can't comment on unannounced product.

Ideas are flowing already on the IdeaStorm site, but the Ideas in Action section hasn't changed yet. dell_admin1 hasn't been heard from in days and we have seen little to no interaction from any Dell staff lately on the site. Is everything O.K.????

While I'm here, why no formal announcement from Dell yet about the new 13.3 inch XPS notebook. It was leaked out yesterday and I even posted about it on IdeaStorm, here is a link to the info.
