    I think i would rather have a pattern design than a picture. Ok, well i like my black professional back on my laptop as i can bring it into big meetings without feeling like a 12 yr old.

    I bring my notebook into PR meetings, just brought my FX in last week. I don't feel like a 12 year, 'cause I don't care what they think. I paid for it, I enjoy it, I'll be proud of it.

    When I used to bring my laptop into meetings, people would kind of be mad at uninterested in the meeting. People would either stare at how huge it is, or tehy would be very annoyed by how loud it is ;)
    The sticker is nice, but see if you can speay some kind of clear spray paint over it, before applying teh sticker, so that it lasts longer and doesnt fade.

    ^ I think that is a paint job, not a sticker, that he is going to get done. I agree with the aforementioned sentiment that a pattern design would be preferable to a picture. I've been thinking of getting the lid painted ferrari red with some basic bright white stripes or something on it.

    that actually doesn't look too bad, i've seen some before and they don't look great, i wouldn't do any sort of paint job to my laptop myself, rather go for something plain or a simple pattern if i had to... if you dd go ahead, be interested in seeing some proper photos of it.. :)
