Not to disagree with you but the thing with the glowing logo on Apple laptops (as apposed to Apple desktops which don't have it) is that I, the user, don't have to look at it. When it's open there's no actual branding on case of a MacBook Pro, even the words MacBook Pro have been removed. At a push you could count the keyboard layout I suppose. It's been a while since I last pulled the stickers off a laptop but do they still leave a sticky residue behind?
