Would you remove the label?

heck yeah, I'd take it off for $300. I have a whole bunch of stickers I could put on where it should be.
Replace one apple with another. 😛

I think that the OP is basically asking "does flaunting the fact that you have a Mac matter to you?".
Yes, I'd have the logo removed if I saved $300. After all, I can always put one of my Apple stickers (that came with my Mac) on it, just like my envious "I-Use-Windows-But-I-Want-A-Mac" friends. 😀

I'd remove mine as well, but my PowerMac sits in a cabinet so you can't even see the Apple logo. On the Cinema Display, you can see the Apple logo clearly, but I wouldn't mind removing it from that for a good $300!

It is silly. It's like a lifeboat question, only without such detrimental consequences (for most of us 😉).

For me the Mac logo on my powerbook is pure bling! Ill keep it thanks, but then ive been called a fanatic! Me being Fanatic
the lofty price I paid is for the quality of the computer and software, not the logo.ero87 said:
If I wanted to pay $$$$ just for a logo, I'd get one of those hideously tacky Yves Saint Lauren or Louis Voitton bags (I killed the spelling didn't I? 😛) with the logo printed on it 4 times per square inch. (barf)
edit:
that being said, I'm not going back on my first post. I'm really, really cheap. If I had the choice of it (and actually paid for my Mac) I'd remove it to save $300. That's 3 years of applecare!

Here's a much more important question: would you allow your foot to be amputated ... and a couple other bad things to happen ... to get a flying car?
My answer: no (to the foot) and yes (to the apple logo), assuming I'd just have a generic smooth case in its place, rather than a gaping hole.

Interesting question. Heck yeah I'd go without the Apple label to save $300. I'm not much of a name-brand person. I pay for quality, not bragging rights. I personally don't care what anyone thinks of my computer, it's mine and it has specific jobs to do, none of which depend on someone saying "OMG you have a Mac U R SOOO cool!"
Those things are fugly! (No, that isn't mis-spelled, just a clever combo of 2 words.) It kills me what people pay for ugly crap just because a tacky name is plastered all over it.katie ta achoo said:
