    I suggest removing all stickers, or at least all the large ones.

    Otherwise they will wear out and look very bad in the future. And when you remove them then, the clean rectangular areas over them won't blend well with the worn-off surrounding areas, creating an ugly look.

    This is especially true for plastic, but also advisable for other types of palmrests.

    I removed the big stickers after 4 months. I got what E.B.E described as an ugly look... :(

    I left the Intel, ATi and Bluetooth stickers intact for showing off.

    the splendid sticker is huge and scary. to balance the horror, the specs sticker on the left is equally scary. removing them wont leave any marks right?

    No it won't presuming you're not scratching them off.

    Just peel a corner nicely and then pull them off slowly.

    We all have serious issues, why are we even talking about stickers again?

    Looks are a serious issue for a notebook (in my opinion).

    Therefore, stickers are a serious issue.

    the four little stickers BT, nVIDIA, Centrino and Windows on the bottom left hand corner of my G1S shouldn't be too problematic, should they? besides, they are on the aluminum part of the palmrest..

    Yep, you can keep those. They are also usually more difficult to remove. In both my laptops, they only went away with a chassis replacement. :)

    the c90 only came with one sticker and it was on the palm rest area. I took it off best I could by finger nail and what little bit of it that was left behind came right off with some of the rubbing alchohol I was using to clean the cpu/gpu cores off with.

    I removed the stickers on my G1s for looks and because now the palmrest is smooth.

    I have no problem with stickers as long as they reveal the truth. For example I don't care about the AMD Turion 64 X2 sticker, in fact, considering that I got the laptop only because it had the chip, I want to proudly keep it (you guessed, I am an AMD fan boy). There is an ATI sticker next to AMD's but it looks cool (and as long as my machine has an ATI chip too...).

    The only sticker I would like to get rid of is the Windows one. Firstly I don't like it, and secondly I no longer use Windows so it is pointless to leave it there. Unfortunately it is the most solid one of the three and it is not easy to remove it :mad: it will stay there until I find a safe way to remove it.

    There was another sticker (the Acer specs sticker) in the other side of the touchpad, and since it does no longer reflect the true specs of the machine (changed the HD), it is now gone :cool: (I removed it while reading this thread :D ).

    Thanks.
    Joe.
