    Hey!
    I just got a new laptop, and am wondering if stickers are a good idea or not
    Post pics of what you have done with your notebooks!

    Heres what I've done with my little HP Mini TU1000 that I take to Uni every day.


    I travel a fair bit, so as I accumulate stickers from places, I pop em on the lid!


    Wouldn't dare do this to my XPS though =/

    Tip for removing stickers you don't want, use 100% isopropyl rubbing alcohol, or the sterile swabs used for injections are good to get rid of the mucky, icky leftover adhesive :D

    Intel's "Speed Demon" stickers might increase performance by a bit :p

    Don't put them on anything with a rubberized surface BTW. Taking those off would be a pain in the and probably mess up the finish if you decided you didn't want them anymore. I personally have been holding off on the stickers though.

    Nay against stickers, unless you bought a second hand laptop and you need to cover up scratches and blemishes.
