So I decided to have my MacBook laser etched. I saw some examples online and found my favorite but it was a vinyl sticker. I copied it in Illustrator and made touched it up and took it to a local laser etching place here in San Diego. This is it.
Got a tip for us?

Wow, thats awesome! saw a etched laptop with Snow White holding the apple with a pair of gloves on. If i can find it i'll post it.
the etching only cost $90. I was nervous because once it's done it's done. Kinda like a tattoo. I love it though. Totally happy with it.
Thats pretty tasteful, it might actually make it easier to sell if you ever wanted to.
San Diego
Hi, I'd like to etch my macbook with the snow white design. I also live in San Diego and was wondering where you had it done.

Great job!
The snow white design is a sticker. I think you can get it from these guys:

I disagree. While many of the laser etchings I've seen leave something to be desired. The OP's is classy and well thought out.
Besides, who said he ruined it, its exactly what he wanted, so how is that ruined. Just because its not your idea of beauty, means he has to conform to what you want.
At least he's not trolling the forum with his definition of futureproof like you do.
And also, at least he's not calling it a BadBoy Pro!
i like the snow white one, but why is she wearing a bandana over her mouth?
i like the original more.

Will this void the Applecare warranty?
The OP's etching in very nicely done. I really like it. Wouldn't mind getting my 13" MBP laser etched but what about his Applecare warranty? Did the OP check with Apple first to find out if his warranty would be voided for modifying the cabinet?
