DO NOT put stickers directly on your expensive laptops 💻

Experimenting with CZcams Shorts. Quick advice for anyone that puts stickers on their laptop.
It's been a few months and the heat of the MacBook Pro quite literally melted a silhouette of the stickers onto my laptop which is permanent now.

Thank you because you warned for not putting a sticker 🦊

oh for sure, the Chromebook that I have was $100 USD though. I'm emailing Apple about this issue today because I've never seen anything like it before.

[@mathijsalkemade87]

I think maybe uv has a role in this, where the sicker protects the area underneath from being tarnished by the sun's uv rays. I've also seen this on a metal surface of an old laptop of mine. Very little materials are safe from being affected by uv rays so probably anodized aluminum neither.

[@randomthoughtstech]

thanks, this suggestion makes the most sense so far. The UV rays combined with heat was an awful combination for the stickers directly placed on this laptop.

[@yaya_4358]

Thank you for your warning, I didn't know that before seeing your video. What's the solution please??

[@randomthoughtstech]

I would just remove the stickers and remove any residue. The combination of heat and time made my stickers seal to my laptop.

[@randomthoughtstech]

I'll make a follow-up video trying some of the solutions suggested below *spoiler alert: I already tried most of these*

[@sakzose]

Looking forward for this

[@sharonpaterson1281]

Use isopropyl alcohol 70% it will take all those marks straight off and not damage the tech at all I was a professional cleaner and restorer for 20 years it works every time 😊 but do so at own risk I’m not getting the blame. If you mess it up 😂

I really wish that were the case. The heat of the Macbook Pro has made the sticker imprint permanent. I've tried Goo Gone, etc., and now this laptop sports multiple tattoos.

I haven't personally used that type of sticker on a laptop but I would still advise putting stickers on a laptop protector/shell. Someone on quora answered about this as well: www.quora.com/Can-you-put-an-auto-decal-on-the-back-of-a-laptop

I got the stickers at conferences over the years, companies often ship them out for free. If you can't find any companies that are giving them out, do a search on RedBubble which has a lot of options. Regarding the shell, I'll have to post a link in the description, but I got mine from Amazon for under $30.
