Am I missing the sarcasm (I'm serious, not being sarcastic myself)? Unless I'm mistaken all Macs have a prominent glowing logo that's visible at all times.

  Yes, but they are well made and in colors that coordinate with the computer. Stickers are in whatever eye popping nightmare color scheme the marketing people dreamt up for web/print ads, are generally unintelligible without a magnifier, are cheaply produced and show it, and are glued down with some substance whose residue yields to none of: water isopropyl alcohol methanol acetone methyl ethyl ketone toluene mineral spirits ethyl benzene xylene acetic acid diethylene glycol monomethyl ether nonylphenol polyethoxylate ethylbenzene It took me 15 minutes to remove the stickers from the last Gateway I bought. I finally resorted to mechanical means, and still left a ghostly outline of one of sticker. In retrospect I should have checked that the machine worked first before I bothered to desticker it.

    I use a very sharp knife and citrus degreaser. Some stickers on a recent eeepc were quite difficult to kill with just degreaser, but the knife peeled them right off. Then a few minutes of polishing with a microfiber cloth and optical cleaner got the residue off. I would kill for a stickerless-laptop with Debian unstable pre-installed. That would easily be worth $100 to me.
