Both. I bought the laptop because it has a Ryzen chip.
Figured that would be it. How do you like it? Do you think performance is solid?
For normal browser use, I think it hiccups a little bit more than the Intel. It has twice the cores, but each core is not as fast as the Intel cores.
It's sad to see that in this thread most people jump in conclusions because they only assume there is only one reason why people put stickers on laptops. Without giving it much thought you place people in a 'category' that only exists in your mind. There are a million reasons why people put stickers on laptops. And also a million why people don't. I guess it's best to keep an open mind and don't think you know why pe…
> There are a million reasons why people put stickers on laptops. And also a million why people don't. Well, let's not get carried away. There are a handful of reasons at best: 1) they feel the laptop is drab/empty and want to decorate it 2) they are fans of an artist/band and want to promote it 3) they want to broadcast the world the company they work for and/or their choice of frameworks and tools 4) they want to c…
That's truly amazing how many people have difficulties differentiating their laptops from the others. It would be a pity if they were just covering up their need to signal the world how special they are and how important their interests are. Glad that it's not the case, it would be pretty stupid to do this on the internet, right?
Honestly, the compulsion to accuse others of narcissism for something as harmless as putting stickers on their personal property screams "LOOK AT ME, I'M SPECIAL" much more.
Call me weirdo but I never jumped on the sticker wagon. I don't see the point of advertising companies for free. My support would be more in terms of using their services (paying, yes) than paying and also putting stickers on my laptop. Is just because fanatism or feeling proud of using something? I'm not trying to be jerk, but I never understood that movement.
How else do you identify your mbp going through TSA. Call me laptop roulette paranoid.

I put gaffing tape on mine for grip since we have to key card in and out of doors on the floors of our non-shared office. I kept dropping a new-ish 15” they gave me as I often had to juggle things while getting in and out of heavily sprung doors. IT hates it but they hate dented aluminum cases more.

For meetings? > IT hates it but they hate dented aluminum cases more. Even if it's a company issued laptop, what it's to IT whether you have stickers/tape or not?
Yup. Lots and lots of meetings.

No idea.
Small nitpick, but "orange peel" refers to the texture of clearcoat resulting from not spraying it properly, not anything to do with an orange hue. Example: https://cl.ly/f5e28bc2db85
- orange peel refers to any paint layer, not just clearcoat. (almost all, if not all, cars today are shot with at least 2 stage, but older and maybe some cars may be a single paint coat, where orange peel can still be exhibited).
- it's not from spraying it improperly, which can be a cause, but more typically that the spraying conditions (from paint mix to atmospheric conditions, even inside a booth) aren't "ideal". most new cars are robot sprayed with perfect spray control, and almost all new cars exhibit a small degree of orange peel.
even ferraris have orange peel from the factory. this is why high dollar detailers do a "paint correction" as part of their work, even on a brand new car.

I just use it to mark my ownership and I like to see them as a visual marker of the times and places I had been to during the usage of that laptop.
There are many more reasons to put stickers on stuff.
