Apple has always been much more about fashion than PCs are, so it’s only natural that an Apple computer fan has taken their message of individuality one step further by allowing people to customize their laptop with cool vinyl stickers.
The coolest thing about the designs by Vinylville is that each one incorporates the glowing apple logo on the back of their laptops. The Snow White looking at her poisoned apple is stylish and hip. The squirrel one above is cute and playful. There are even more fun and wonderful ones for purchase on their Etsy site and or your viewing pleasure in their Flickr gallery.

My entire department basically has the same computer, so stickers and (sharpie and acrylic) drawings are commonplace to avoid mix-ups. I have a hard time taking a pre-made sticker that takes up the whole space as individual, but to each his own. These are quite lovely though, kind of wish they had more.
Beyond that, I’d say that there are PC-making companies that are much more into the fashion of their hardware than Apple, but as Apple makes both the hardware and the OS, they have a “style” to everything. I believe it’s for recognizability more than fashion though, much like how cars like having a distinctive silhouette.
