They're the 21st century version of putting buttons on your backpack/jacket/whatever.

Those stickers specifically all look bad.

Just put duct tape on to hide the Apple logo.

I won't exactly blame people for not wanting a computer company logo be the only thing on their laptop.
And hey, gotta use those free stickers they give away with stuff somehow.
I like it, it's kinda kitschy.

My favorite was a guy who put a 🚫 decal around the Apple logo on his own Macbook. I was just like 'okay...'
There are some cool and creative ones for the illuminated MacBooks specifically but I hate random single stickers and have not seen a single nice looking full cover skin. dbrand are the biggest offendors, I hate how half of big tech YouTube has plastered their MacBook touchpad and back with horrendously bad skins.
Same.I was expecting something like this
Sometimes I think those ugly little stickers are the sole reason MacBooks became so successful.
I put a sticker on my laptop and decided to remove it after missing how the laptop was supposed to look.
People like to put stickers on things to give a hint of their personality, but I find it to be somewhat old, by now. I thought about putting a sticker on my car, but I thought back to what I said, and I decided not to. I also pulled the plastic dealership plate covers off of it to give it a cleaner look.
The only thing I have a sticker on is my Nalgene water bottle, and that's to make it distinguishable from the many that we have at my job.

Those ones in the OP look good and wouldn't be out of place in a professional environment.

I have this one. It looks really good in person and has a nice texture to it after a little wear.
I have one of those free backcountry.com stickers they send out with orders and put it on my old netbook to cover up a logo. I carried that thing for years and got exactly two comments on it out of all the times it was out in public. Both from TSA officers a week apart at each end of the same trip out of maybe a dozen I took with it.
Like the hat?

Technically the stickers are on a clear case though.

Those are all pretty ugly, and fuck Dalí. They all look like hipster posing. That said, I have a huge EU flag sticker on my laptop so who am I to criticise.
Woah looks great, would try that if i had macbook
lol, isn't that implying that is the poisoned apple?
Face it Tiger..

To be fair, I always figured the Apple in Apple Computers was the Fruit of Knowledge of Good and Evil from the Bible.
It does have a conspicuous bite out of it after all.
Not for IT professionals showing their favourite languages/tools or conferences they have attended.....unless you're corporate IT.
I'm the same way. If you want to put something on your laptop, go ahead. My biggest pet peeve are the stupid stickers car dealers put on vehicles (and they're a huge pain in the ass to remove).
My laptop has the Core i7 sticker and the only reason I haven't removed it yet is because it'll leave a mark where the sticker was that'll be even more annoying then the sticker itself.

You see it a lot among web developers
I have none on my laptop despite my coworkers always saying I should get some. No thanks.

I do it
It's pretty cool going to Starbucks or whatever and being able to see what people are interested in just by glancing at their laptop.
Aside from that it looks tacky and I'd never do it myself. They are a little too similar to bumper stickers (bleh)
The only ones that get more of a pass for me are the full size ones that cover the entire lid. Some of those can look nice if done right.

I think they're tacky but I accept the fact that lots of people have bad taste.

I always thought they looked fine on most folks' laptops, but I could never put them on my own.
Yup. No different than people who cover their otherwise beautiful car with horrible bumper stickers.
Nothing screams "I'm tacky as fuck, avoid me at all costs," more than ugly stickers plastered over gorgeous modern design.

I prefer the simple look of no stickers.
