How to: Laser etching Powerbooks

By Saturday July 1, 2006

MAKE: Blog: How it’s made – Laser etching Powerbooks FYI — Very cool.

Last weekend we laser etched 3 more Powerbooks. We etched two 15″ Powerbooks and a 12″ – this time we etched a very cool bunny infused Tsunami, a NeXT logo as well as a subtle and elegant plum blossom. If you’ve wondered about the process, tools or just how laser etching looks – I put together some of the photos, links and files. Enjoy!

    Definitely very neat. Apple should offer this as an option on all its Powerbooks.

    Now they just need to get an Intel-based Mac running the software [Bootcamp, Parallels, Crossover, DarWine] and ditch the Sony laptop… [grin]

    I can’t wait to see Apple coat their laptops with a special film that will allow only Apple laser etchers to carve into them… Greedy bastards…
