Dell wants to make it easier for you to upgrade/replace your computer
We all love getting new computers, but we all hate the process of having to personalize everything all over again. Your documents. Your music. Your bookmarks. Your OS preferences. The list goes on and on. It can take months to personalize your new computer to the way you like it.
Dell wants to eliminate this issue and ship your next computer pre-personalized for you. Imagine receiving your next PC with most of the same settings and all your old docs just as you left them on your old PC? That sounds pretty convenient to us. I’m sure Dell is hoping that this will encourage all of us to upgrade more frequently. It just may. The drawback? Well, you’d have to give Dell access to all of your data. With all the corporate hacking in the news, that could take a huge leap of faith. To get all the details, follow the link to Dell’s patent application 11/962,408.
