I love my laptop (but not in a creepy way), but sometimes I wish I could spruce up the exterior as much as the interior (colorful wallpaper, fun icons, and so on). Rather than spend money I don't have on a fashionable laptop like the
Vivienne Tam Notebook, I've decided to get more creative with the laptop I already have.
For $28, I can get one of these special limited-edition
Artist Series Laptop Skins, which measure 15.4 inches — making it the perfect fit for my MacBook Pro.

I go in and out of liking laptop skins; sometimes they can look cheap and dumb, and sometimes they're done right and end up looking so adorable that I want to buy a whole series. Making a good case for the latter scenario is this
Tree Laptop Skin ($19).
It would make your laptop so cute and distinctive that no one would mistake your MacBook for theirs while you were up getting your third coffee at Starbucks.

There's no denying it: Everyone needs a little Morocco in her life. Can't afford a trip right now? The only world traveling you do is on the World Wide Web?

Lately, I've been toying around with the idea of
getting a skin for my laptop. Since I lug it around everywhere with me, I run the risk of damage from taking it in and out of my bag, in my luggage, or even just when it's sitting on my kitchen table. Plus, I have to admit I get pretty OCD about smudges and scratches on my precious gadgets...

The first thing I thought of when I learned from
Chip Chick that
HP and SkinIt had teamed up to offer "skinned" products was—why don't I own more HP stuff! I know I talk about
laptop skins alot, but what's so great about these skins is the fact that you can "dress up" a variety of gadgets with a ton of unique designs. For instance, once you find a skin you like, choose the device you want to customize.
