I am very unhappy with Dell due to the fact that my Dell printer has died, I placed an order for a new Dell printer however I have ink cartridges that I cannot use and "customer service" tells me that I cannot return them because it has been over 21 days, I am a small business owner, and I do not like throwing money away, I purchase my cartridges in advance so that I would have them on hand when I need them. I have been a customer with Dell for more than 5 years and have made many purchases, over the years with Dell I expect some real "customer service", and not just an "I'm Sorry you just have to throw these cartridges away". This kind of so called customer care will cause me to take my business some where else. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER WHEN MY PRINTER WOULD CEASE WORKING AND IF YOU KNOW THAT YOUR EQUIPMENT ONLY HAS A CERTAIN SHELF LIFE THEN THAT SHOULD BE CONVEYED TO THE CUSTOMER. THIS IS YOUR HARDWARE THAT JUST STOPPED WORKING WE DID NOTHING TO THE PRINTER TO CAUSE IT TO MALFUNCTION. I do not condone being wasteful, and NOT BEING ABLE TO RETURN SOME ITEMS BECAUSE OF A NUMBER OF DAYS is wasteful. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH DELL RIGHT NOW AND ESPECIALLY SINCE I JUST SPENT ANOTHER $250.00 FOR A NEW PRINTER. THIS JUST DOES NOT MAKE BUSINESS SENSE FOR ME, NOR DOES IT HELP ME, THE CONSUMER WITH SAVING MONEY. I expect better results from a large company such as Dell. How RED or Green is this?

Utterly pointless. Donate to your charities on your own time. Why clutter a perfectly good website and the products I like with your silly cause. I do not even approve of a lot of the ways these people spend the money they obtain. There are lots of better causes out there.

Participation in ProductRed is a wonderful idea, but how about adding some more choices. For example, I am in the market for a laptop, but I need a full size keyboard (with the 10key). Couldn't you offer an Inspiron 17" ProductRed choice? Or, make ProductRed an option choice on most of your models with graduated amounts going to ProductRed? I think if the choices were available at fair prices, you would probably see more participation ... I know that I would buy Dell ProductRed instead of shopping around.

Dell customers who want to make a difference donate directly, locally and don't buy Microsoft products. I am truly sad to witness such time, money and effort go to waste.

I am so glad Dell is doing this, and proud to be part of a company that has a soul. How about doing the same thing for Livestrong, Susan B Komen Breastcancer Foundation, Sierra Club. I have to tell you, I would buy a Livestrong laptop in a second.

I am ELATED to hear about the partnership with Dell. Dell's involvement in global affairs can truly make a difference and change the lives of those in need AND take the company to new levels!

I think Dell's participation in Product Red is a great idea. I am really disappointed that the only prodect red XPS 1330 comes loaded with minimal memory, hard drive space and warranty length. Once you add such features, the product red version is several hundred dollars more than a comparabily loaded standard XPS 1330, and Dell only donates $50 to product red. Why not donate several hundred dollars or offer one with better features? Windows Vista suggests 2GB memory and the product red only comes with 1 GB. And now you can't get an XPS in red unless you get the product red.
