The random little stickers sends the impression that you don't really take care of or value your stuff as much as someone who keeps it neat looking. Makes it look like a disposable toy. Imagine someone with tacky stickers all over their car.
As for the big ones, I'm not into themed or branded anything. It's not a canvas for art, it's a functional machine.
Just my opinion. Do whatever you want though.

I used to have a Link sticker on my old XPS that some friends got me as an Xmas present which I thought was quite cool: Went well with my coffee mug
Since my new laptop has a strange, rubberised cover on the top I probably won't put any on it, but I might put a small one near the keyboard area, where the Intel and GeForce stickers are.

I want to use that snow white one but I don't have an apple laptop :/
I can print vinyl stickers at work so I can kind of go to town with that stuff.

It's like tattoos for me. I've seen some pretty cool ones on others but would never do it to mine, I like the way it looks as it is.
lol you've actually stopped at South of the Border?

Totally don't care one way or another, its people's choice. My work laptops are bare, but I do have a macbook pro I use for photo editing which has a couple custom stickers on it.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
I need to get some to cover up the jizz stains on the back of my laptop.

Garbage. The same as using truck nuts.

Tacky as fuck in my opinion. I also work in IT so I do have co workers that have a bunch of tech stickers from conferences and stuff. Even the manager has an AWS sticker.

They're only okay if you're a teenager or a software programmer.
Really, this is the only valid reason to use them.
This is the worst. I find it very hard to take someone seriously if their shit is plastered with gaudy stickers advertising SOMEONE ELSE'S COMPANY. Management especially has no fucking excuse.
Rather, a software programmer who wishes they were still a teenager.

I just have a street fighter sticker on mine. Don't have it on me but I'll try to post it if I can.
I'd say they're more on par with window stickers. One or two tasteful ones can look dope, heaps of small ones? Usually not.

Feel the exact same way. I like the idea and generally check out other people's laptops but I'd be really reluctant to put any on my own laptop.
GAFers can be oddly judgmental about the silliest things. Laptop stickers are pretty low on my "give a shit" list of things other people do. It's so benign and doesn't affect other people at all. Why let it bother you at all. ¯\_(ツ

They can be really cool and tasteful. Unfortunately, the new MacBook doesn't have a light up apple, so it's kind of meh now.

Always cracked me up when people asked to be cut a check to replace their stupid ass stickers that they put on their MacBooks, when their top/bottom case needed to be replaced. Some of them are pretty cool, but I couldn't stand the random ass ones placed all over the computer that wouldn't come off.

Stickers are charming. Disdaining people for putting some personal expression into their sterile consumer electronics is less than charming.

If I had a laptop I would cover it with stickers like my first guitar

Same thing that I think about bumper stickers. Unnecessary.
I don't personally have stickers on my laptop (mainly because I can't be arsed) but this is silly as fuck, and if you're in a position to make career decisions for people and factor that shit into your process then honestly, you're a terrible manager.
Not only from a moral perspective, but from a practical one as well, this shit is so prevalent in the software industry, including very senior positions.

Some judgmental asses up in this thread. No fucking fun allowed, huh? I don't go crazy with them but a few here and there are okay. I have the Demoman symbol on the back of my car and an Aperture Science logo on my old laptop.
I have five stickers on my laptop, but two are the same bumper sticker and three are the same circular sticker, so I arranged them to have the bumper stickers on the top and bottom with the three circular stickers in between.
I don't know enough about laptop fashion to know if that's tacky or not. I just like the stickers.

YES. My extended team has an unhealthy obsession with sanic. We have like 2 dozen sanic emojis in slack.

I always meant to put a couple of them on my laptop, but four years later I've yet to get around to it. My sister has some on hers, though.

Wow, a first post I really agree with
