I'm sitting here bored wondering if I should sell my 13' White Macbook (late 2009) so that I can get a MBP. The only thing I hate about it, is the color. I just want to post stickers all over it so that I don't have to stare at it...wondering how much I can get for it so that I can have at least have half..

any suggestions...I also have a question about Time Machine. I formatted my WD My Passport 500GB HD to run on Windows and Mac. Is there a way to still backup using Time Machine...

You're crazy man!;) You just bought that laptop not too long ago...you were all excited about it...best thing since "sliced bread"!;)

Now you seem hate it...and want to get rid of it.

There is of course...no problem getting rid of it. Post it for a low price on Craig's List...and it will be gone in 24hours!:)

Looks like you're suffering from the computer-version of GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome).

It's very common in males, especially those who have expensive hobbies, like music, computers, RC Cars/Airplanes, power tools, etc. (Or in more-often-than-not cases, all of the above)

You should sell and upgrade!

This is an EXCELLENT idea! If the OP only has a problem with the appearance of his laptop...then a cover or a skin of some sort would be a perfect solution!!!:)

I know...I love the Macbook, I just hate the color...and I didnt buy it..if I would've bought it, I would've got a MBP from the start. I got this as a X-max present.
I also look at the site culnool but it's $574 just to customize it

If its just a custom look you want why not cover it with those stickers you spoke of but go one step further and use stickers from all over the place ? I will donate a USMC sticker if your interested. We have great folks here from all over and I would bet that if you said please........

Reminds me of my single days. Me and the roommate had a coffee table from a thrift store that we covered with stickers and I even have a photo of him skateboarding on the table. haha Good times!!

I bought a Speck brand satin black cover the day I bought my MBP. It is less slippery that way. It looks cool as well.
