    Protective film still on new laptop or not?
    « on: August 10, 2009, 09:20:42 PM »
    Hey,

    Hopefully a quick and easy question. I just got a new computer and in unpacking it there was just one protective sticker that I couldn't get off (see pic (which i got to transfer from my cellphone with the new bluetooth on my new laptop :D). It's on the HP symbol on the top of the laptop and I just want to make sure it's actually a protective film.
    It seems like a film where there's an obvious edge where more of the light escapes. As well as there's something of a scratch mark under the h (that was there before) that you see when you start leaving the protective film on for too long.

    I'm just asking because I seem completely unable to take it off. Also as writing this I realized that normally those kinds of films are normally bigger than what they cover, not less, so that it actually protects it. I haven't used anything too rigid that would scratch the laptop because, well, I don't want to scratch it. All of my attempts just seem ineffectual.

    So any opinions? Anyone else buy a HP laptop with the same kind of light on the top?

    Thanks

    Edit: Edited to incorporate "protective film" rather than sticker

    Are you sure it's a sticker and not a logo with a protective film over it?
    Evil is an exact science.

      that's what I was going for, I just couldn't think of "protective film" so I went with "sticker"
