HI i have a new MBP and I'm wondering if it is safe to engrave my name or something onto it. I'm thinking of doing it to the right of the touch pad. Anything I should be careful about?

I was thinking of VIN-etching mine, like you do car windows. You may be able to get the local police to do it, if they offer that service. They start by printing a label, that can be proofed so it's right. Then, they acid etch it, normally on glass. In theory, it should work on aluminum. Hmmm...

You guys must have balls of steel to attempt something like that!

It's a very soft metal, so take it easy on the engraving. Make sure you cover it well so no stray shavings get into your keyboard/speakers/ports etc. I don't think this case is very thick either so I hope you're not using a dremel

Ah, if I always knew what I was doing, I would not have had nearly as much fun doing it!

I don't even like the idea of putting stickers on my Apple. Don't do it!!! Especially not near the touch pad

No, I would think it would be somewhere discreet, like the bottom of the case, away from the battery. Just large enough to read.
