Customize 8.9 Laptop Skin
Like we said in a couple of our previous articles, laptops are becoming a fashion statement to a huge number of people out there. The segment that really cares about the aspect of their laptop is made of teenagers, especially the girls. To them, it is really important to have a laptop that looks nice and makes them look good as well. Girls like to have colored laptops with floral imprints or butterfly stickers. You know, I’m talking about that laptop that you spot from a mile away and you can easily tell it belongs to a girl. Manufacturers like Dell have become aware of how a laptop’s looks is important to the customer and that is why the Inspiron line has 7 different laptop lid colors to choose from.

Nowadays, it’s not enough to have a pink or green laptop; it also has to have a pattern or some stickers on it. This is how teenagers personalize their laptops. Laptop stickers are also cool because they keep your lid protected from scratches. I know my Toshiba really need a big sticker to cover the entire lid which is full of scratches because I always carry it around with me and I can never be too careful. If you have the time to do some online research you will find tons and tons of models and it will be difficult to make up your mind. Personally, I find at least 50 stickers I like on every such web page. These stickers are different. They can have abstract images, pictures with landscapes and animals, different logos or popular brand names. There are even skins that imitate different materials like wood or brick which make your laptop look interesting and even blend in with the walls.
While surfing though the marvelous universe of the internet I came across different websites that can customize 8.9 laptop skins or bigger. I mentioned the 8.9 type of laptop because this is the smallest on the market so far. www.skynmobile.com is one web site that has a list of all the laptop manufacturers and all their models. Choose your laptop brand and a list is shown with all the models for which you can find skins. Just look for your laptop’s brand among all those names and you will find the size of your laptop so you will know exactly what size the sticker needs to be. After that, just go wild and start personalizing.
Girl will love the crystal collection. Using Swarovski crystals, they can have their name written on the lid of the laptop (which also has a bunch of colors to choose from). The can also go with the crystal butterfly, crystal hearts and pretty pink, baby pink, lime green, ocean blue, lilac pearl or ruby monogram. The design collection offers floral fashion for the flower power girls. There are 6 superb models that let you personalize your laptop in cherry blossom, jade, sea breeze, Eva pink, Eva blue and Eva purple. If you are a flower lover, you are bound to find one color combination you will like.
www.schtickers.com is another website I really liked. They have laptop, phone and iPod stickers but we are going to focus on the first category. You can choose to shop between hundreds of different models. The categories are Suede & Texture, Fine Art, New & Notable, Animal Inspired, Solid & Shapes, Pop & Retro, Flowers & Flourish and Other. I love these stickers because they are removable and reusable so if you ever get tired of them you don’t have to stick another one above the old one. Just remove the boring sticker and add a new trendy model. I think these stickers are not only for teenagers. Older people can also use them to personalize their laptop with beautiful landscapes or portraits of their children or relatives or maybe even their cute little kittens or puppies that they have at home.
On this web site, a custom laptop skin is as cheap as $25 which is much better that paying an extra $40 to get that pink Inspiron 1525 from Dell if you ask me. The Laptops Skin Lab has some pretty nice and easy to use tools that let you create your very own laptop skin. All you have to do is upload a photo, add some text and some cool backgrounds, add some graphics that you like and change their colors and the possibilities are endless. You can have lots of fun in creating unique laptop skins that you will make you the most original kid on the block.
Not only are they neat to have on your laptop, they also make a cool present. Imagine giving you girlfriends for Valentine’s Day a pink laptop skin, with a huge heart which has a border made out of rose petals and inside there is a photo of you two kissing or cuddling or just having a romantic walk in the park or on the beach. Underneath, there is a glitter message saying “I love you”. Trust me, she will go crazy over it and you will be the most sweet and romantic boyfriends that she ever had. Besides, now she can show to all her friends just how much her boyfriend loves her and brag a bit about it.
Draw, sketch, move, rotate, upload, color, do whatever you want in order to create your very own laptop skin. Customizing an 8.9 laptop skin has never been easier. The disadvantage is that since these netbooks are really small, the image will also be smaller and it may not have that sparkling effect that bigger stickers do. If I had more space available I would have shown you more super models to feast your eyes upon. I especially like the animal categories and the landscape one because they really make everyone admire you laptop, even if all they want to do it take a look at that beautiful puppy on the cover. Go wild and buy one for yourself!
