Removing Branding on Laptop?

I purchased a sager np2740 laptop online at xoticpc and i recalled there was an option to remove the sager branding. It doesn't cost anything extra. I bought this laptop b/c i needed a fast laptop for online poker thus i7 quad core computer. I also wanted it to be 14.1 and thin and this laptop is that so basically its fast and pretty portable. I'm sure many of you who play games or don't play games probably doesn't want a laptop where its like a big red alien as in those alienware laptops if u use them in a public place. Well i know there are ppl who don't mind it but you probably know what i mean by that.


XOTIC PC | Sager NP2740 (Clevo W740SU) - New 14" Sager Notebook


The gallery picture of this laptop looks pretty nice. I didn't remove the sager branding but thought about it for a bit before i decided not to. The thing is however if i said alienware or msi or those other gaming laptops... i would definitely remove the branding. However, would you say its fine to keep the sager branding? I never knew much about sager, i only had Dell and Asus and when i used my asus 14.1 laptop in public, i always had ppl tell me this laptop is very good looking. It basically looks like a macbook except it isn't and everything about it physically looks great so i wanted to use a sager one similarly although 99 percent of the time, laptop will be inside.


The thing is do most ppl even know what sager is? If i see someone with a sager laptop and as long as it isn't those huge laptops, i would never assume its a gaming laptop. I also read that sager has business laptops and other types in addition to the gaming ones. But I just don't like to have a laptop where if ppl look at it, it looks like a gaming laptop. I don't play any games besides online poker on the computer. I also read that its true that if you remove the sager branding on the laptop, if you were to resell it in the future on ebay etc, the price actually is a bit higher than without the sager logo on the computer?


I'm not 100 percent sure if i could even ask to have the sager branding removed b/c i know they order just went through recently so there might be a chance they could still remove the branding if they are not in the phase yet. I use xoticpc. But would you all say its fine keeping the sager branding on the laptop? It really doesn't look that bad in the gallery pictures. I read a review where someone mentioned their sager laptop and loved it b/c it doesn't look like a gaming laptop and its very fast. That person also removed the sager branding.

My Review of the Sager NP9130 (Clevo P151EM1) Laptop | | incredipixelincredipixel


To be honest, it looks pretty good without the branding. I don't know but if i see a laptop without any branding on it, such as no dell, asus, hp or another brand, i would assume the laptop is either a very cheap laptop or an expensive customized laptop. Would you agree/disagree with this? But more often than not, i would assume its a cheap one. Has anyone here had a laptop where they removed the brand whehther it was sager or whatever it is? I also assume there is no way i could remove the branding letter on right? Example my asus branding on my laptop at the moment which i currently am using, i dont believe it offered the option to remove the asus log on it and its not possible to do it as its pretty much on the laptop.

 

If people are going to judge you based on the fact that you're using a 17", £3,000 Alienware - or any laptop that distinguishes itself as a gaming machine in public then let them. It's your laptop and you have a right to use it in public. And if they're going to complain, then simply call them out for being jealous - fighting back never hurt anyone.

But even so, would you really be lugging any gaming laptop around in public? Obviously the great thing about laptops is that they have the portability which desktops can never have, but I'd find it much more convenient to use a smartphone while in a coffee shop. I do actually carry the laptop in a bag designed for 17" notebooks when I'm travelling or whatnot, but I usually resort to using my phone to browse the internet.

 

You can keep it with the branding then if you dont like it you can remove it yourself. Its a high quality sticker which can be removed by warming it up like with a hair dryer then you can peel it away and use something like goo gone to remove any residual sticky stuff.

 

lol wut?...

 

Think of the branding removal like making a "sleeper." You sit down with that non-descript beast and people don't know what it is... what they don't know, they fear . I think Sager/Clevo is fine with not having the branding because they A- focus on resellers/rebranders doing most of their sales rather than marketing themselves anyway so they know it won't be their name on it and B- People keep coming back to Clevo/Sager because of the bang-for-the-buck factor of their product. i.e., their product rather than their branding sells the product for itself.
