If DIY-Laptop Customization Scares You Try Vinylville

School is starting and that new laptop that you got needs to be customized, otherwise it will just look like everyone else's. Apart from looking good, if it's tastefully done, you'll recognize your laptop from others quite easily, making it less susceptible for theft.

There are loads of different ways of customizing your laptop. We've reported on laser-engraving and laser etching, but if you are looking for something simpler, less expensive that still looks good, you should try vinyl. Just like putting on vinyl on a car, putting it on your new laptop will make it unique. Usually, people will use stickers or skins to decorate laptops.

The big advantage of the laptop decorations from VinylVille is that they can be easily removed. They also don't leave any sticky residue, so the value of your laptop isn't diminished when you are trying to upgrade. Also, if you are afraid of damaging your laptop or hurting its resale value, vinyl decals are the way to go. We really like the decal named Snow's Revenge, as it works very well with your MacBook.

I don't think I'd ever do this to my own MBP, but that is pretty cool!

the snow white is pretty good.

of you could just go to a hobby shop and get some vinyl and diy, it's usually in the model car area

or design something yourself and take it to a sign shop and have them cut anything you want.

or find a friend with a vinyl cutter, i have one sitting right next to me, but no laptop to adhere it to.
