Late last week, we rolled out ratings and reviews functionality in France, Germany and Spain for Consumer and Business systems.

Since we began offering the ability to share ratings and reviews on October 4, we've now expanded the functionality to the following countries:

• Canada
• France
• Germany
• Ireland
• Spain
• United Kingdom
• United States

We plan to offer in more languages moving forward.

Update 10/20—Direct2Dell reader MButler was correct to point out that I could have been more clear explaining how customers could get to ratings and reviews from the main home page. There are a couple of different ways you can get there, but essentially, you need to get to the product level to get to the ratings. If I can use Canada as an example, from the main home page, click Home & Home Office from the Notebook section.

On the next page, if you scroll down a bit, you will see the Inspiron 1501 and the 1420. If you look just below the image of either, you will see a star rating graphic like this one:

Clicking on that will bring you to the reviews page for the Inspiron 1420:

Clicking on the red Product Details button will bring you to the Inspiron 1420 product page, where you can see thee review average, read all the reviews, or write one yourself.

Otherwise, you can also get to ratings and reviews by going directly to the product page itself.

I've hyperlinked the above images, so you can click on them to get to the corresponding page. Hope
