I got a new MacBook Air this year and it’s been sticker free even though my previous Windows laptop was heavily stickered.
Haven’t decided if I want to put stickers on the MacBook yet, but I’m leaning towards it.

I’m choosing to keep my laptop (Lenovo ThinkPad) sticker-free. I do have a Hydro Flask that’s just about completely covered with them, though.
If I had a MacBook I’d probably be tempted to buy one of the old rainbow Apple stickers (you can buy them off eBay) and stick that on there.

None. Not even the ones that came with it. Peeled them all off.
Pet peeve. When people do not remove the clear films from the manufacturer that protect some parts till delivered to the end user. You are the end user! Peel them off!!
A friend noted how poorly the button and screen section on their microwave looked when I went to use it. I took a close look… Peeled off the ratty yellowed, used to be clear packing film on it. Pristine. She was amazed.
Personalized stickers are clues… do not reveal your true self.

I have a couple. One is a from my local public radio station that was included with their thank you gift. The other is from the Save the Redwoods League, included with some junk mail asking for a donation. I usually throw those away, but I liked this sticker, an illustration of the redwoods in the style of a 1930s/40s era postcard.

I have a skin on one of mine that is a collage of pictures of my children. I’ve never put stickers on otherwise, and that thing is a paperweight now.

Decided to quit doing that because they kept pulling hairs when I took it off my lap.

I’ve never had any on a laptop, as far as I can remember. I never really occurred to me as a thing to do, any more than I put stickers on my desktops.
I’m not saying I’ve never seen people who had stickers on theirs, but I just never really thought about having one, except maybe to cover up my actual logo with a fake mac logo as a joke (something I never actually did).

Not really sure I needed to know that.

I don’t have stickers on my laptop computer, nor do I have bumper stickers on my car.

I have interesting postage stamps on the back of my iPad Mini.

I do not have stickers on my laptop.
I do have stickers on the plastic protective covers that I put on my laptop. Dozens of them. Stickers totally fucking rock.

About the only reason to have any sticker on your laptop would be to identify it if should find itself in a room with a bunch of identical laptops. Otherwise, stickers are just tacky, pun intended.

Never put stickers on any of my devices. It seems like a high school kind of thing to me.

I have a few on my work laptop, but the best I’ve ever seen is one that had a bunch of stickers that all said “Hodor”, but each was in the style of a different tech company logo.

No I won’t!!!
I know full well what they are for, but I’m a cheap bastard. By keeping the clear film on, I’ll have a pristine screen etc. after months of use, when I DO peel them off for not being all that clear anymore.

When I was using a Macbook I liked to get decals that took advantage of the backlit Apple logo like these:
