laser engraving MBP

I saw this when I was rummaging through,
http://www.jonnymac.com/blog/2007/05/31/laser-engraving-my-17-macbook-pro/
Is this safe? How much does it cost? Where can I have it done? Can I have it done on the inside?

 

here's the website w/ pricing info

There are a lot of places that will do it. You may be able to find a place locally that does laser engraving.

 

I do not want to put any permanent thing on my macbook pro, just my personal feeling.

 

Wonder if they have places like that here in Miami...

I'd do one for sure!

 

Thats pretty awesome!

 

I think that's awesome. If I had a great vector graphic, I'd love to see it on my 15" MBP. Having this done is a lifetime commitment (at least for the item being engraved!), plus this really personalizes the item for you, so that will probably reduce resale value.

 

Depending on how cool the engraving is, it could increase resale value. It is more likely to decrease it though.

 

Depending on whether the buyer actually likes the way you engraved your MBP .

 

Ohhh I love that! Would definetly love to get one done.

 

Could this be done on the inside of the Macbook Pro? ANd around the corners?

 

Best to ask those who do these. See the link emporiumboutique posted.

 

I guess you are right I mean you might put something on there and not like it the next week. I think this is much better if you do it on a Ipod, but I would still give it a shot. What program would you use to make the design?

 

Sounds like a tattoo .

 

woudlnt mind my sig on it

 

I'm still thinking about what to put on it..

 

Hey, that's not a bad idea! Especially if you have a fancy signature.

 

you know anywhere to do this is vancouver sam?

 

With Tattoos you can still get rid of them this is really permanent.

 

but i can't imagine not liking it unless you picked a bad design. You just gotta be sure you like where it is and what it is. Start with smething small. As soon as I get a mac ( next year maybe) I am hoping to do this.

 

Yeah, I guess you could pick a universally accepted design...like maybe cool graphic waves and such. Everyone loves those .

 

Well once you get it is not like it is it for that MBP, you can get a new lid.

 

I m looking at vectors on istockphoto right now. I ama bit confused about one thing. I am a member. Do I have free rights to edit and put these on my laptop? What are credits?

 

Don't you have to purchase images from iStock Photo?

 

Yeah, thats what I'm starting to think. Only about 15 bucks though. hmmmm
