It doesn't mean anything; I bought this laptop & went directly to a conference, and just wanted it to look slightly distinctive, and the duct tape was all I had. It does cover the Apple logo so it looks like I hate Apple or something (I do hate excessive and ostentatious branding).
I kept it because I kept having conversations about it. Even baristas remember me as the guy with the X.
It's odd but I don't think a logo has any meaning any more, because real life turned into Nascar.

If I saw that, I would probably have assumed you were just a huge X-Files fan or something. Actually, thinking about it now, I think the next laptop I buy, I'm going to put an X like that on there, along with a small sticker that just says "I Want To Believe".
