Gallery: BBG readers' laptop art

Image: fortybillion

We asked for your sticker-slathered laptops, and we got a slew of them. Analysis: most of you guys use Macs, and you sure do like your Obama stickers. After the jump, a small gallery of some of our many favorites.

Don't forget to add your own stickered or laser etched laptop to the Boing Boing Gadgets Flickr pool, tagged "bbglaptopart."

Oh man that's ironic.

I just posted yesterday on the MyDellMini forums about REMOVING stickers, albeit INTERNAL company ones for better cooling (or the perception thereof).

I always envy those with access to cool stickers.

There are TONS of stickers, few of them cool.

First thing I'd do if I got a Mac Laptop. Put gaffer tape on to change the shape of that bloody Apple. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.

So, if most of us are using Macs, what does everyone else have? I'm on an eee pc 901 running ubuntu 8.10 here.

I doubt most of us use macs (a quick scan of your web logs should confirm or deny). I think it's more that people with macs tend to be more image conscience (that's the nicest way I could think of putting it) and thus more likely to add stickers.

I like several of these though, especially the skull.

Dammit... I meant image conscious.

I have stickers on my Makita drill case, my media cases, etc. but not on the laptop. I change my (company owned, Ubuntu, Dell) lappie so frequently I'd never put a good sticker on one. There's always a better one available a week after you buy...

The preponderance of sticker-bedecked macs may be because people keep mac lappies longer, in turn because they are at a higher price point. Or maybe because graphic artists traditionally prefer macs?

Ha! @ Cristin Brennemans image, I got a peelander-z sticker on mine too. MEDIUM RARE!!!!

Some seriously cool stickers!
I need to find some more and stick some more so maybe next time i'll make the top list.

You guys, you know what we really need?

These are all awesome, but where can I find one of those NeXT stickers????

Love stickers on the laptop. Just need a (working) laptop now.

I guess I missed the party. Here's mine: http://www.flickr.com/photos/26321095@N02/2474907738/

Paint, not a sticker.

My picture of my ancient debadged and minimally stickered laptop is incorrectly attributed - my flickr profile where you can see it is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/noparadise/. I am a free number!

Did someone say:

Obama stickers?

I like the placement of the Mizuno Junko character and Deji Charat right next to each other.

*blush* Aww, thank you BoingBoing!

For clever use of the backlit apple, I'd nominate angelic Obama for 1st place.

[#18 posted by AKattack , January 30, 2009 5:47 AM]

Awesome! I nominate the first one - that's a gelaskin! I'm a huge fan.
