    Should I remove the stickers from my G73 and add them to my collection on my bottle? ^_^ It doesn't void it for a return does it o.o

    I usually just keep them on my laptop just because it helps retain the resale value when I end up selling it on ebay. You'd be surprised to see a $50 difference between a laptop with stickers and an identical system without. However, if you plan on keeping your laptop for years to come and have no plans to sell it in the near future, then it shouldn't matter. And removing the stickers won't void your warranty :)

    Interesting how stickers can make a difference lol. I recall I didn't get some stickers back when I bought an HP dv5t. I called customer service and they refunded me 50$!

    And not warranty, I mean returns ~_~. I like this laptop but still unsure about it because of my GPU heat issue... See my sig -_-. I have purchased a total of 3 laptops before this and only kept a T500 because it wasn't practical to return it when I went to college. I just didn't know what I needed. After a year of college I realized what I needed, and the Asus just appealed greatly, but the problems just suck.

    Ah, sorry, I misread your post ><
    In that case, I'm not sure. I'd assume each reseller/retailer would have their own return policies, some stricter than others. If you're still debating on whether you're going to keep your unit or not, I'd leave the stickers alone for now.

    No marks. Peeled slowly - none of them left any adhesive behind.

    Rarely do the stickers leave any marks. They are easily peeled with fingernails and if you do happen to get some residue left over, you can use a damp microfiber cloth to wipe it off.

    Stickers removed 2 days into my ownership. The bottom part of the sticker was flapping anyway, so I assumed it was made to be removed.

    I kept the sticker anyway, in one of those sticker collection book thingys.

    Afaik, they won't void your warranty. There's no reason why it should since they don't affect anything. Mine came off very clean as well - the ones on the left can leave a tiny bit of glue, but just rub it with your finger and it'll come off.

    Yep, that's why I'm keeping the stickers and that's also why I wouldn't send the laptop in for an RMA using the original box.

    TIP:
    If you want to remove the stickers and still be able to retain the "resale" sticker value of the laptop, do what I normally do. I remove the stickers very carefully and stick them to some regular baking wax paper. I store these stickers in a place for safekeeping, and when you ever choose to restore the stickers, just peel them off easily from the wax side of of the paper, and stick them back to the laptop. By doing it this way, you do not lose the "stickiness" of the stickers, plus you can reuse them! :D

    I would remove the stickers.

    you can buy spare stickers on ebay if you want to put them back if you want to sell the notebook, core2duo/vista/nvidia/ati stickers go for $1 a piece mostly
