    So I'm still thinking about whether I want to go with an Asus G750JM for my next laptop, and I'm looking into the surfaces of the laptop (rubberized exterior and brushed aluminum around the keyboard). I've heard they attract dust and fingerprints quite easily, and if the rubberized finish is anything like the one on the entirety of my current Alienware m14x r2, I'm not a fan. I noticed Xotic PC offers an option with 'carbon fiber textured wrap' and I was thinking it might help, as well as look pretty nice.

    Anyway, it's probably a shot in the dark, but for anybody who's bought from Xotic PC in the past, has anybody here opted for the carbon fiber wrap? I'm just curious to see what people's impressions of it have been, and whether it's peeled over time, or if there were air bubbles, etc.

    Even if you guys haven't gotten anything like the wrap, how do you feel about the surface of your G750 laptop? Do you find it to be a hard to clean grime magnet at all?

    I can tell you at least from users first impressions that the applications are done properly at least, PM one of their reps as they don't hang out in the Asus section much.

    Is it possible to get the carbon wrap but still have the asus/msi/sager logo still shown on the back?

    I personally have done this wrapping myself. For the first time you should be ready to spend 2 hours for that. And possibly not the best result. But next times it gonna be much faster and easier. 3-4$ with shipping is enpugh for 1.5 average laptops without bottom and even couple phones.

    It depends on the model and how the logo is on there. If you have a particular brand and model in stock I'll be happy to check. The Sager models cant on any of them.
