In this blog, we will explore the world of custom laptop wraps in detail. We’ll delve into their numerous benefits, from protecting and preserving your laptop to expressing your individuality. Additionally, we’ll guide you through the process of creating your very own custom laptop wrap, empowering you to unleash your creativity and make a statement with your device.

What Are Custom Laptop Vinyl Wraps?

Custom laptop wraps are vinyl skins or stickers specifically designed to fit your laptop’s dimensions. These wraps serve as a protective layer that cover the exterior surface of your laptop, offering both style and functionality. Unlike traditional laptop skins, which are often pre-designed and limited in options, custom laptop wraps can be fully customized to suit your preferences. They are precision-cut to fit the contours of your laptop, ensuring a seamless and tailored look.

Why Should I Custom Wrap My Laptop?

Custom laptop wraps offer a range of benefits that go beyond mere aesthetics. Let’s explore the advantages they provide:

Protection And Preservation

When it comes to safeguarding your laptop, custom laptop wraps excel in providing both protection and preservation. These wraps act as a shield, guarding your device against scratches, scuffs, and minor impacts that can occur during daily use.

The durable vinyl material used in custom laptop wraps ensures that your laptop remains in top condition. It is resistant to fading, peeling, and discoloration, offering long-lasting quality that preserves the appearance of your laptop over time.

Expression Of Personal Style

One of the most significant benefits of custom laptop wraps is the ability to express your personal style and creativity. With a wide range of customization options available, you can transform your laptop into a unique reflection of your taste and personality. Whether you prefer vibrant patterns, abstract artwork, elegant designs, or even personalized photo collages, custom laptop wraps allow you to make a bold statement. Your laptop becomes a canvas where you can showcase your interests, hobbies, and passions, adding a personal touch that sets it apart from the crowd.

Brand Promotion And Recognition

Custom laptop wraps offer valuable opportunities for businesses to promote their brand and enhance recognition. By incorporating your company logo, colors, and other branding elements onto the laptop wrap, you effectively turn your device into a mobile advertising tool.

Vinyl Wraps For Laptops

Whether you’re attending conferences, meetings, or working remotely in public spaces, your laptop becomes a powerful means of brand exposure. Additionally, custom laptop wraps enable businesses to create a cohesive and professional image. By ensuring that all laptops used by employees feature consistent branding, you establish a unified and recognizable presence. This attention to detail enhances your brand’s professionalism and helps establish a strong visual identity.

Residue-Free Removal

If you have used printable vinyl of premium quality, your custom laptop wrap will not leave any adhesive residue upon removal. You can take off the wrap in one sweep movement and your laptop will be revealed as good as new underneath.

This is particularly beneficial if you want to change the design or remove the wrap altogether. It allows you to switch up the look of your laptop whenever you want, without any long-term commitment or damage.

Microsoft Surface Laptop 2 Review: Sleek New Paint, Same Old Ports

The Microsoft Surface Laptop 2 is a slight upgrade over last year’s model with an elegant new black color, strong performance and a vivid display, but it really needs new ports to get with the times and could use faster storage.

Pros

• Beautiful, sleek design
• Strong performance
• Vivid, 3:2 display
• Excellent keyboard

Cons

• – No USB Type-C or Thunderbolt 3 ports
• – Base model only available in platinum color
• – Middling SSD speeds
• – Glued together

Microsoft’s Surface Laptop 2 oozes elegance. With its newly available black finish, Alcantara deck and a vivid touchscreen display, the machine (999 / £979 to start, 1,299 / £1,249 as tested) looks and feels like a luxury device. And with a Whiskey Lake processor, it acts like one too. But a lack of the latest ports (it’s missing both USB Type-C and Thunderbolt 3) leaves it with one foot in the past. And while the new black hue makes it look like the laptop showed up in its finest tuxedo, the chassis is impossible to open for repairs or upgrading.

Specifications

Design

It’s like the Surface Laptop came home in its finest suit. The Surface we reviewed is in Microsoft’s new black finish, and it looks slick. But that’s also the only noticeable change over the original Surface Laptop, at least from the outside. There’s still the same aluminum casing, including a lid that is sparse save for a reflective Microsoft logo that looks incredibly classy among the dark hue.

Open up the laptop and you’ll find a 3:2, 13.5-inch PixelSense display with a resolution of 2256 x 1504. The bezel is a little big, but it fits in some IR cameras for Windows Hello, so I can forgive it. The keyboard deck is covered in black Alcantara, which I hope means that it will stay clean for a while. It’s soft to the touch and is comfortable while typing.

If you’re not into the blackout look, three of the original colors are still available: burgundy, cobalt blue and platinum (the latter is the only option available for the cheapest and most expensive configurations. See the configuration section below for more). In China, there’s an exclusive blush pink color.

In terms of ports, it’s definitely a bit dated. The left side has a USB 3.0 Type-A port, Mini DisplayPort and a headphone jack, while the right side features only Microsoft’s proprietary Surface Connect port.

Just a few years ago, this would have been a minimal but acceptable solution for an ultraportable, especially because Microsoft’s 199 Surface Connect dock can add several more ports for power users. But in 2018, when almost all of Microsoft’s partners use USB Type-C, or, at this price level, Thunderbolt 3, the Surface Laptop 2 feels behind the times. It would have been an easy switch to replace the Mini DisplayPort with Type-C (it would allow for display and output as well as charging) and made the device more future-proof.

At 12.1 x 8.8 x 0.6 inches (308.1 x 223.3 x 14.5 mm) and 2.7 pounds (1.2kg), the Surface has a comparable footprint to other premium, 13-inch 2-in-1s, including the Dell XPS 13 (2.7 pounds, 12 x 7.9 x 0.5 inches), Huawei MateBook X Pro (2.9 pounds, 12 x 8.5 x 0.6 inches) and 13-inch Apple MacBook Pro (3 pounds, 12 x 8.4 x 0.6 inches).

Performance

With an Intel Core i5-8250U CPU, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, our review configuration of the Surface Laptop 2 will satisfy most users on the go. My usual workload of about 30 Chrome tabs with some videos or music playing in the background didn’t make it sweat.

On the Geekbench 4 test, the Surface earned a score of 12,676, beating the premium laptop average of 12,230 as well as the Core i5-equipped XPS 13 (13,254), but the Core i7-based MateBook X Pro (12,913) and MacBook Pro (17,348) both outperformed.

The Surface’s flash SSD storage took 25 seconds to copy 4.97GB of files for a rate of 203MBps. That’s not just slower than average (479.2 MBps) but also each of its competitors by a decent margin. This was the one real weak point for the laptop’s performance.

On our Excel macro test, which pairs 65,000 names and addresses, the Surface Laptop 2 needed 1 minute and 15 seconds. While that beat the category average (1:34), the MacBook Pro (by 1 second) and the MateBook, the XPS had it beat by a few seconds.

It took the Surface 17:30 to complete our Handbrake test, in which a PC transcodes a 4K video to 1080p. The average is a slower 21:08, and both the MateBook and XPS were slower. Apple’s MacBook Pro was the fastest of the bunch at 14:47.

To stress test the Surface Laptop 2, we ran Cinebench R15 10 times on a loop. During that test, the CPU ran at an average of 2.3GHz with an average temperature of 65 degrees Celsius (149 Fahrenheit).

Display

If it were up to me, every non-gaming laptop would have a 3:2 display. I love the extra height, which shows more of documents, spreadsheets and web pages. The 13.5-inch, 2256 x 1504 display on the Surface Laptop 2 offers that excellent aspect ratio and is incredibly vivid, though some competitors are a little brighter. When I watched the trailer for X-Men: Dark Phoenix, colors were beautiful. Everything was vibrant, including Beast’s blue fur, Cyclops’ ruby quartz visor and, of course, the orange flames of the Phoenix engulfing Professor Xavier.

The Surface covers 176 percent of the sRGB color gamut, better than anything else in the field by far, including the premium laptop category average of 116 percent.

While the Surface is easily bright enough to use at 321 nits (which is higher than the 317-nit average), the XPS 13, MacBook Pro and MateBook X Pro were far brighter (the latter two noticeably so).

Keyboard and Touchpad

I really like the feeling of the keyboard on the Surface Laptop 2. Despite just 1.3mm of travel and 69 grams of required force to actuate, the keyboard is the right combination of clicky and bouncy. On the 10fastfingers.com typing test, I reached 108 words per minute with a 2 percent error rate, all of which is pretty average for me.

Of course, the 4.1 x 2.7-inch touchpad uses Microsoft’s Windows 10 precision drivers, and even three and four-finger gestures worked without a hitch.

Audio

The speakers on the Surface Laptop 2 get the job done, though they suffer from the same issues as those on most laptops: not enough power on the low end. When I listened to Ellie Goulding’s “On My Mind,” the synths and vocals were clear, and the drums were loud. However, the bass was weak, even as the speakers filled our lab with sound.

Upgradeability

Buy the Surface Laptop 2 as you want it configured forever because there’s no upgrading it. There’s not a single exposed screw on the computer because it’s all held together with adhesive. And if you look for teardowns, like this excellent video from iFixit, you’ll see that all of the components are soldered to the motherboard.

Battery Life

Microsoft’s laptop will last you a full day on a charge. On our battery test, which browses the web, runs OpenGL tests and streams video continuously over Wi-Fi at 150 nits, it endured for 9 hours and 22 minutes. That’s more than an hour over the premium laptop average (8:09), but the MateBook X Pro lasted 9:55, and the 1080p version of the XPS 13 ran for an incredible 11:59. Apple’s MacBook came in behind the Surface Pro at 8:43.

Heat

After streaming 15 minutes of HD video from YouTube, the laptop measured 31.3 degrees Celsius (88.3 degrees Fahrenheit) between the G and H keys on the keyboard, and the touchpad was closer to 27 degrees Celsius (80.6 degrees Fahrenheit). That’s quite cool.

On the bottom, the hottest point was near the hinge at 34.7 degrees Celsius (94.4 degrees Celsius), so you should be fine when relaxing with the machine on your lap.

Webcam

The Surface Laptop 2 boasts a 720p webcam that is serviceable, but not exceptional. In a photo I took with Microsoft’s camera, my red shirt was color-accurate, and I could make out small details in my face and hair. However, some of the fluorescent lights on the ceiling behind me were blown out (though that didn’t happen with some nearby Windows). The laptop also has infrared cameras for Windows Hello facial recognition.

Software and Warranty

One of the most beautiful parts of the Surface is its relatively sparse Start Menu. The only software Microsoft adds to the stack is the Surface program, where you can adjust settings for the optional Surface Pen, check the battery level for Surface-branded peripherals and get information about your device.

Of course, there’s still all of the junk that comes with every copy of Windows 10, like multiple versions of Candy Crush, plus Drawboard PDF, Fitbit Coach and Hidden City: Hidden Object Adventure.

Configurations

The Surface Laptop 2 I spent time with costs 1,299 (£1,249.00) with an Intel Core i5-8250U, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD storage (and, of course, it was the new shade of black).

The base model is 999 (£979.00) with a Core i5, 8GB of RAM and smaller storage at 128GB. That version only comes in platinum color.

The maxed out version is an Intel Core i7, 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage for 2,699 (£2,529.00). That, too, only comes in platinum. It’s a shame that the cheapest model doesn’t come in multiple colors, and its absurd that the most expensive model doesn’t.

Everything in between, with Core i7 CPUs and less than 1TB of storage, comes in black, platinum, cobalt or burgundy.

Bottom Line

The Surface Laptop 2 is a sleek, elegant machine (especially in its new black color) with strong performance and a great 3:2 display. But at its premium price, it really needs Thunderbolt 3 (or at least USB Type-C) to match the features of other top-tier Windows PCs. And the fact that it’s all glued and soldered together means you won’t repair or upgrade this on your own.

While Surface is supposed to be the North star for Windows notebooks, others compete quite well. You should seriously consider Dell’s XPS 13, (starting at 849.99 / £1,099) with a brighter display and longer battery life. But Dell went all-in on Thunderbolt 3, so you’d need adapters for your USB Type-A accessories. Apple also brings premium design and Thunderbolt 3 along for the ride with its MacBook Pro lineup.

But the Surface Laptop 2 is among the most elegant Windows 10 PCs I’ve ever seen. Windows feels custom-made for it. If you only need USB Type-A ports and don’t care to upgrade yourself, it’s a great choice.
