    Thinking about getting the Sager NP8851 with some carbon fiber texture wrap, any thoughts?

    I've been looking at buying a Sager NP8851 from GentechPC. While I'm at it, I was thinking about springing for the carbon fiber texture wrap. I like the look, but also I hear the chassis for this model can be a little fingerprint prone. Maybe the texture wrap would help the laptop keep a clean apperance?

    So, I guess the feedback I'm looking for is this:
    -Would a carbon fiber wrap prevent that grimy fingerprint appearance?
    -Is anybody familiar with Gentech's track record of applying texture wraps? Xotic PC seems to be a bit more well-known for modding laptops, but Gentech has some free thermal paste upgrades that look appealing to me.
    -Any thoughts about the Sager NP8851 in general? If general consensus that this is a poor choice of a laptop to go for, I'm open to feedback. :)

    A texture would certainly change the fingerprint nature of the device since the surface is "replaced" so it depends on what it is replaced with.
