I have never seen any laser engraved Intel logos on any notebook. I bought my VAIO and it came with an Intel logo - but it was so easy to take it off that I don't see why people complain about that all the time.
AMD has logos too, and they too, come off. IBM didn't have any logos, but then IBM didn't care about them either. Hence, Intel.
LOL. What's the problem with just taking off the sticker if you don't like it?
In a related story, I actually affixed a "Designed for Windows XP" sticker to my TiBook for humor value. It kinda freaked me out when Apple announced a move to Intel 2 months later.
This is incorrect. You haven't been around many PCs have you. I have seen MANY systems with the IBM logo sticker on it.

the point we're all trying to make here is intel stickers coming with a system, not debating on how to remove them. those statements and the one i made about laser engraved logos are no brainers.
I surely wouldn´t mind a Intel Inside sticker on the in side of the card board box. Actually I wouldn´t mind if they did put one inside the computer as well.

First of all, we're talking about processors, not complete computers. To be more exact, your mac does not ship with an "IBM Inside" sticker.
And, in relation to the sticker coming with the machine, you all need to GET A LIFE. Just take the damn thing off if you don't like it.

I have a PowerPC sticker affixed to an old system based on a Celeron 300A overclocked to 600 MHz.
I put that on that box several years ago before I ever knew what PowerPC was and back when I said that I would never buy a Mac. Boy how times have changed and for the better!
As long as the stickers are designed to easily peel off, I'm fine with it if it means Apple can get a bigger discount and pass that on to their customers.
apple is about oobe as a primary and integral part of its branding.
there is not a single apple product, from power adapter to power mac, that requires the consumer to remove an advertisement from any of its casings.
its about design being a component in apple hardware.
a paraphrase of a steve quote about microsoft "they wouldnt be half as bad if they had any taste".
to some people, not all, design is important.
if design itself is not so important to you, i am still very happy that apple products and software are able to be appreciated by you because they "just work". they are computer products after all, helping us to work. to some the design element is just as important, to others not so important.

It will be tastefully printed on the cardboard box.

Actually I remember machines with the PowerPC logo silkscreened on. Not recentlly, obviously.
i do this instinctively, and without thinking about it. i also do this without asking the owner's permission.
i believe i have helped them to think different, if even a little.
pls do the same to help yr own windows friends.
i am a compulsive remover of intel and windows xp and centrino stickers from all windows machines i am able to touch.

This brings back fond memories of secretly tearing away hazey plastic films from friend's old remotes--instantly rendering them new!

you do that too?!
I also take the intel celeron/intel p4/"designed for windows xxxx" stickers off the wintel dulls at school.

IBM as in PowerPC logos on Apple notebooks/desktops. I don't care about ThinkPads, homeboy.
