    Any option for covering up the top of the screen for my G51?

    I fell in love with this Asus G51 on newegg...

    Anyway, it has that blue "alienware" type design on the back of the screen. Does anyone know of a place where I could find something to cover it up to make it a little more "professional" looking?

    Thanks

    There are various companies around the web that offer notebook skins to customize your lid - search around for them. The trick is going to be the beveled edge/corners, and finding something that will lay *flat* around those features.

    The G51 is targeted for the gaming sector of the market, hence the loud design. Be proud that you have such a notebook.

    Oh believe me I am...however, I use my laptop for presentations and such. I would just like a "skin" type thing that will cover it up and can be removed at some point. I'll try for what ClearSky said.

    So what? I use my notebook for presentations too, and mine is just as loud and is far rarer to find than an Asus. Your notebook shows that you have some interest in style and everybody else who has boring matte notebooks will be wanting yours on the inside.

    If the OP want's to be like everyone else and have a cookie cutter look, then I'll let him have his way. Just know that his Asus design isn't going to make his presentations any better or worse. Whoever is arbiting his presentation will be more focused on what he has to say, not what his notebook says about him. Unless the notebook has some controversial design or sticker on it, like my notebook with the hammer and sickle, would changing the design be an option to consider.
