    Do you guys remove those little stickers on your lappy. The ones that say "nvida", "lightscribe", "intel centrino" and "designed fro windows xp"

    I prefer to have the stickers on my system. I like them.

    This really just comes down to personal preference.

    I don't really see a point to keeping them. They are ugly advertisements for companies.

    What vassil_98 said. I tend to keep them. But my laptop didn't come with any, so I didn't have to deal with the dilemma of keeping them or not. And this laptop with stickers would make it look ugly - so I'd probably take them off. I usually don't take the plastic covering off though (but mine came off by itself :()

    My ATI one came of by itself. I don't purposely try to remove them but I didn't really care.

    I usually try not to be a floating advertisement...but, unfortunately, I can't take off the gigantic "HP" logo on the LCD panel :(.

    I love the stickers so much, but I usually replace the Windows sticker with a Linux distro sticker, depending on the distro I run.

    my ATi one came off on it's own, and I finally removed the Windows XP one about 2 months after I removed windows itself. I still have the Sempron one though. My old laptop I even went as far as removing the windows 98 CoA from the bottom of it, now THOSE were designed not to come off...
