    Take it off. I had an Toshiba laptop with a similar size sticker. I let it be for many years. Then it started to peal, I removed it and there was a major color difference of the chassis. The area w/o sticker was much lighter than with sticker. It looked so ghetto after that.

    yeah, after only 2-3 months i decided to take it off and there was a little bit of a color difference, but it went away after wiping it down a few times and a little bit of using the laptop again.

    It doesn't leave any residue, just go slow and it comes off clean and easy.

    You removed the sticker! Oh god, what have you done?! Your warranty is gone man sorry. That sticker was the only thing cooling your FBS, and without it, um, I don't know where I'm going with this. You warranty is fine ;).

    I removed mine too. I don't have gears for the PC, and I only thought it was alright on the 360. The sticker looked a little cheesy too.

    No, it does not void the Notebook warranty,

    however, the warranty on the sticker will no longer be valid.

    this thread reminded me that i had a sticker from when i upgraded my processor, so i took off the only one to replace it and there was so much glue residue. finally got it cleared off after wiping it with some alcohol a few times and got the new one on in the exact same spot, cause it left a small outline i could see in the light.

    That person told you not to take off the "Gears of War" sticker?

    Did you happen to record the conversation?

    Was there laughter in the background?

    You: So, can I take off the ginormous Gears of War sticker?
    Gateway: No, it will void your warranty and your computer will explode.

    I haven't even taken off the plastic piece that "protects" the stickers and palm-rest. Nor have I bothered to take off the plastic protector that is on the lid.

    The palm rest on my old laptop developed two black marks on the palm rest where I would rest my palms. It looked very ugly. I do not want that to happen to this laptop. Not in a million years.
