Joined At the Hip

For those of you who have a laptop, you know what I mean (and for those of you who have a Mac it's an even stronger bond for you!). Living in the age that we do, with all the technology that surrounds us, really leaves no option but to embrace it. We find ourselves being able to solely function via our computers on so many different levels, be it communicating with family, friends and co-workers, getting the latest news, purchasing anything from kleenex to cars, and even getting medical advice if needed. In the "user" friendly world we live in laptops seek not to offend in their drab stoney grey colors. Recently, more and more designers have been tuning into those of us who cry out for color, design, and anything that can differentiate us from the next person and have come up with some awesome ways to spice up our laptops!

Engrave allows you to do exactly that...engrave the lid of your laptop (for about $100)! How awesome is that?! They have designs you can choose from, or you can provide your own. (They also laser engrave Molskine journals, but that's for another time).







For those of us not as eager to permanently tattoo our laptops or looking for a cheaper alternative, Gelaskins provides some very cool laptops "skins" for both PCs and Macs and even your iPOD! These run about $30.












Thosmhicks Etsy shop also has some really awesome simple designs (in 14 color choices!) for your lid at about $18 each (that includes shipping! Nice!!) :











Hopefully you have enough ideas to make your laptop spectacular!! Next up will be some rad bags and cases so you can carry your laptop in style!

Happy Tuesday!
