Uncover – Custom Logos on Your MacBook
Instead of Apple’s Standard Fruit
Let’s be real: Apple makes beautifully designed products, no doubt about that. They’re sleek, minimalistic, and instantly recognizable from a mile away. But here’s the thing. Sometimes, being one of millions with that glowing bitten apple just isn’t enough. Sometimes, you crave something more. Something uniquely you. Something to reflect your inner geek, your brand, or simply your own quirky personality.
Enter Uncover.
Laser-Cutting Awesomeness for Your MacBook
How It Works: Shedding Some (Laser) Light on the Process
What makes Uncover truly special, and the reason my inner tech-geek did a little happy dance, is the way they make use of your existing MacBook backlight. Remember that classic white glow of the Apple logo that was removed in recent MacBook designs? Uncover has found a clever way to bring it back in style by just using your Displays backlight. They use lasers to precisely cut your chosen motif, and voilà: your logo shines brilliantly with that signature Apple-esque glow.
It’s a bit like Tony Stark crafting his Iron Man suit. Precision-engineered, unmistakably cool, and capable of making jaws drop during meetings or presentations. Okay, maybe without the repulsor rays, but still pretty epic.
Celebrity Approved, Geek-Trusted
If you’re still skeptical (I mean, lasers and glowing logos—really?), just consider their client list: CEOs of tech giants like Tesla, Evernote, Flipboard, and Snapchat. Even DJ legends like Hardwell rock an Uncover MacBook on stage. They’ve also created custom MacBooks for companies and communities like WordPress, The Next Web (TNW), Automattic, and even some hardcore Ethereum enthusiasts.
What’s the Damage? (To Your Wallet, Not Your MacBook!)
Okay, here’s the catch. Uniqueness doesn’t come cheap. Customizing your MacBook with Uncover starts at around 700 euros for logos that fit into a standard circle or rectangle. For more intricate designs spanning the entire back, expect to pay even more. Sure, that price might have you briefly questioning your life choices, but remember, this is about standing out. It’s an investment in your identity.
Let’s face it, Apple gear isn’t exactly budget-friendly to begin with, and customized products might be trickier to resell. But let’s be honest: if you go for something this personalized, you’re probably not the kind of person who sells their gear every year anyway.
But Wait…What Happens to My Warranty?
Naturally, one question immediately springs to the mind of any seasoned gadgeteer: “But Uwe, what about my warranty?”
Good news: Uncover’s got you covered. The company assumes Apple’s warranty with their own 12-month limited warranty specifically on the screen. If, within 12 months after receiving your custom MacBook, the screen suffers damage directly related to their laser modification, Uncover will handle it—no sweat.
Even the Latest MacBook Models?
Yes! Uncover proudly boasts that they are the only company worldwide able to restore the iconic glowing backlight even on the newest MacBook models. Impressed yet? You should be. They’ve tackled challenges others couldn’t, making them something like the “MacGyver of MacBook customizations.”
To Laser, or Not to Laser? (Spoiler: You Totally Should)
Honestly, who still wants to stick generic black stickers or decals on their device? With Uncover, you’re looking at something that feels straight out of the future, like customizing your gaming avatar, but in real life. It’s the perfect mash-up of tech, art, and personal branding.
Intrigued? Feeling your inner nerd itching to see some examples of their wizardry? I know I was. Head on over to the Uncover website and let your imagination run wild.
Stay unique. Stay nerdy. Stay awesome.
Your Mr. Microsoft,
Uwe Zabel
