    I got a new ASUS notebook recently and it came with 6 stickers on the notebook (1 with system specs, 1 with 'hdmi support, esata etc, and 3 nvidia/intel/vista ones). Which ones did you keep and remove?

    I remove them all. It is like those silly folks who advertise their cold air intake or exhaust brand in their car windows.

    Actually, after thinking about it, I dunno if I'd keep any.
    If it was a sleek machine, and the stickers detracted from the sleekness, they'd be canned instantly!

    I remove all of them.

    I find them ugly...and if they want advertisement space on my rig then they can fork over money. Otherwise its in the trashcan they go.

    Just the CPU branding. Sometimes if I have higher end discreet graphics that too.

    For me, I suppose it all depends on how many stickers come with the system. My ThinkPad only came with two (C2D & XP) and I didn't remove either.

    I'm with you, Gorbs. I love those Nvidia badges, but the only computer I ever got one with was on old desktop with a 6100.

    I really don't want to order one from China... (All I have on both my P-FX and my Sony is the Vista, and Intel Badges)

    I only keep the processor and Windows one (that's all mine came with). If there were more, I would remove them.

    On some Asus systems, I've seen two huge stickers that covers up most of the palmrest. Those shouldn't be kept on as they will start to peel and leave residue or discolor the palmrest.
