Just worth noting that the stickers can usually be taken off; although for some reason many PC laptop owners leave them on (I don't know, maybe to show off how powerful their laptop is?).
I'll also agree, I don't mind the hardware so much, although I find a lot of PC notebook design to be pretty hideous (and when they do try something sleek, like HP's current designs, they still seem to be off one way or the other), but I dislike Windows on laptops. Just seems like there are sorts of annoying issues to deal with.
