Are you tired of your laptop looking just like everyone else’s? It’s time to break the mold and showcase your unique style. In this blog post, we’re exploring five creative ways to turn your ordinary laptop into a reflection of your personality. Get ready to transform your device from a generic gadget into a canvas of self-expression!
1. Stickers
Stickers are perhaps the most popular way to personalize laptops. They’re inexpensive, versatile, and can be easily changed. You can use stickers to showcase your favorite bands, quotes, characters from movies or books, or even political beliefs.
The beauty of stickers is that they allow you to tell a story about who you are and what you’re passionate about. Just be sure to apply them in a way that doesn’t obstruct vents or ports.
If you plan on switching up your stickers often, invest in high-quality and removable ones. Cheap stickers may leave a lot of residue behind or even tear when you try to remove them.
2. Custom Cases and Skins
Investing in a custom case or skin not only protects your laptop from scratches and dings but also completely changes the look and feel of the device. You can choose from a variety of materials like hard plastic, rubber, or even wood.
Skins, on the other hand, are thin, adhesive covers that can display intricate designs or textures, giving your laptop a completely new look without adding bulk.
For maximum protection, pair a case or skin with a screen protector like the ones made by ViaScreens.
3. Keycap Stickers and Keyboard Covers
Personalizing isn’t just about the exterior. You can also add a touch of creativity to your laptop’s keyboard. Keycap stickers come in various colors and themes, allowing you to turn your keyboard into a rainbow or showcase other design elements. If you’re looking for something that serves a dual purpose, keyboard covers not only add a splash of color but also protect against dust and spills.
4. Engraving and Etching
For a more permanent and sophisticated form of personalization, consider engraving or etching designs onto your laptop’s case. From intricate patterns to personal mantras or logos, engraving adds a level of elegance to your device that few other methods can match. And while you’ll likely want a professional engraver to take care of this for you, if you’re feeling adventurous, there are plenty of DIY engraving and edging guides out there. Just make sure the method you’re using isn’t one that can damage the laptop’s components.
5. Creative Doodles and Drawings
If you have artistic skills, or even if you just enjoy doodling, using a permanent marker to draw on your laptop can be a fun way to personalize it. This method allows for complete creative freedom – you can draw anything from simple designs to complex illustrations. With just one color or a variety of them. Let your imagination run wild.
For this method, you’ll want to use a permanent marker. And while the paint from these markers can be removed using rubbing alcohol and other methods, the process is not easy, and it may require a lot of vigorous scrubbing. Which is not ideal for an electronic device.
If you want to use a marker and be able to change the decoration later, consider getting a vinyl skin and decorating the skin with a marker instead.
