A few hide the Apple logo on the lid, but many are designed around the logo or have a cutout there so it shows through. Some cover only the top and bottom of the laptop, whereas others include stickers for the palm rests, trackpad, and keys as well. They’re cut to fit precisely-you have to order for your specific model-and there are numerous full-color photos and attractive designs.
Inspired by the vinyl sticker idea and looking for a present for Tonya, I did a little searching on Amazon and discovered that there’s an entire world of vinyl sticker skins for Apple’s laptops. And what if I decided I didn’t like it in a year or two? I don’t do bumper stickers on cars either.) (Call me obsessive, but I could never bring myself to affix a permanent sticker to a Mac if I accidentally applied it crooked, it would drive me nuts. On the plus side, vinyl stickers are a tough material that won’t rip or get scuffed easily, and they come off relatively easily without leaving any residue. That helped, but the kid-oriented stickers were a bit cheesy and cartoonish, and it was still difficult to identify a laptop that was open on the table. (When Tristan came home for the holidays and added his 2017 MacBook Pro to the stack, it made things even worse despite being space gray, it was still tricky to differentiate from the others in some lighting conditions.)Ī few months ago, Tonya became fed up with this state of affairs and found a few small vinyl stickers that she could affix to the lid of her MacBook Pro to differentiate it from my MacBook Air. Since there’s limited space on the countertop, her MacBook Pro and my MacBook Air tend to end up stacked, making it even easier to grab the wrong one. At least her previous laptop, an 11-inch MacBook Air, is enough smaller that it’s easy to pick out in a lineup.Īdding further opportunity for confusion is how we keep a USB-C charger on a counter in our dining room, so our most recent laptops gravitate there when not in use. At a quick glance, you’d be hard-pressed to distinguish a silver 2012 MacBook Air from a silver 2016 MacBook Pro from a silver 2020 M1-based MacBook Air.
