    i Have had my laptop for no more than 5 days and yesturdat the "p" on the xps logo fell down, Beware of this, it is a verry thin sticker and is easy to lose, i found mine inside the protective case, after i found it i stiked it again it lasted for 1 more day, so i decided to add some more adhesive to the sticker, i used spray adhesive so i didnt get excess, after that i think it will last longer than the original adhesive.

    is it somehow really hot on that part of your laptop? That could mess the adhesive up.

    No, it is not hot, the logo is behind the screen in the lower part, the screen is not in contacr with the main laptop unitin thhis area, and i dont think that the screen gets that hot considering is a LED

    Buy some superglue and carefully glue it back on. Problem solved.

    I was just thinking the same thing, it almost looks better without those letters. If mine fall off, I'll just leave it.

    I too think it looks classier as a subtle typographic indent.

    I had the same problem. Mine fell off on the first day. It's stone cold on that part of the laptop, anyway. Why can't they do the same thing for these letters that they do for the "DELL" logo on the lid? That never comes off.
