I used to put stickers on my work laptop. Then one day I upgraded my laptop, which meant handing over my old one with stickers.
Which meant scrubbing it (there's no reason I'll let whoever receives it to scrub it for me)
Which was an absolute pain.
I don't put stickers on my laptops anymore.
- FinnKuhn 11mo agoFor me it was having to replace my MacBook's screen and loosing all the stickers in the process that made me realize I would loose any sticker used on a Laptop eventually.
- jrockway 11mo agoI sandwich them between my phone and a clear case now. Don't even have to take the stickum protector part off, so when you get a new phone, you can take your favorite stickers easily. Disadvantage: you get like 2 stickers total.
- cozzyd 11mo agoSome choice stickers (McMurdo Station and South Pole Station stickers) have inhabited 3 of my laptops already.
- SiempreViernes 11mo agoA real McMurdo sticker does seem incredibly cool!
- cozzyd 11mo agoThe funny thing is I'm at McMurdo now but they don't seem to have any at the store at the moment
- Cthulhu_ 11mo agoAre those heat insulating by chance?
- seszett 11mo agoSame (French polar institute and Kerguelen in my case) and I use double-sided tape to place them so I can remove them in the future.
- ibic 11mo agoI never put on stickers (except the Stain Javelin) on my laptop. It may be just me, but if feels messy to me.
- blueflow 11mo agoI had good success using isopropyl alcohol as a solvent and a drill with a plastic brush attachment, using less than 300 rpm.
- jones89176 11mo agoThere's a big difference between the materials that's used for the sticker itself (paper, plastic) and the glue they used. By now I have a good feeling about the "removability" of a sticker once i have it in my hand.
- ctm92 11mo agodid you manage to clean it up? Sometimes stickers leave permanent discoloration of the case, especially on aluminium Macbooks
- nniroclax 11mo agoI buy a hard case, then put the stickers on that. Then I can pop it off if I need to be in a more "professional" environment or if I want to upgrade/sell it.
