This is due to BIOS (UEFI) / Windows hybridization stuff.  They've baked it in, like a BIOS splash screen basically.

More hype than anything else, if the standards would be high people wouldnt recommend 10 year old Hardware with high motion latency.

Do I use a hair blower to peel the sticker off first?

as with many things alcohol is the solution

In the UK we have a similar stuff called sticky stuff remover. You can also try a small amount of baby oil on a lint free cloth

99.99% isopropyl alcohol.
 
Either that or lighter fluid.

I just peel mine off then clean up the residue.

To remove the residue you can use alcohol or WD40 if you don't have any alcohol. 

normally you can just peal them off and use some tissue to wipe off the glue, its never really that bad (8 years in retail removing stickers), normally you can just rub it with your finger

I keep mine on.
 
With the addition of a few stickers as well.
 

Nail polish, acetone, wd40, white spirit.

you can use a hairblower and then use a little bit of lemon oil, lemon juice or even lemon aid on a cloth to take off residue but dont i reapet DONT DO IT if your case/ frame is plastic  just use alcohol or WD-40 on a cloth  

I remove all stickers, although I haven't had a laptop in a very long while.

heat up sticker briefly with a hair-drier. Then peel it quickly. Then wipe off remaining residue with alcohol quickly.

I must be a monster, I hate stickers on laptops haha

Thanks! I think I'll go with the Kinzu since it's a lot cheaper and the mouse pad that I bought is a Steelseries QCK Mini

A general trick to remove stickers, is to use oil (vegetable oil is fine).
.
Put a lot of oil around the sticker with a cotton swab (Q-Tip). If it is in paper the sticker, let the oil absorb in the paper, for several minutes. Then try and peal it off, and work the oil around the glue. The idea is that the glue mixes with the oil and is unable to bound. Then wipe clean, and use soapy water to wash it off.
Make sure that no liquid goes inside your laptop as you do this.
 
This is how do it, for all kind of stickers on a variety of objects.

Oh of course, I am not here to oppress people from doing what they like and prefer

It's kindda subjective because laptops are much like our phones. Some people like to have cases on their phone while some like their phone naked. It's all about the personal preference of people.

I just think stickers look cheap and tacky on laptops

Meh I have friends that like their laptop clean as well. Me, I'm into stickerboming everything I can.

Yeah they are only really there for when the laptops are put on display in stores

Under 600 USD.
 
So in PHP it's under 30,000.

Well the A6000 is $599 in the US.... haha

This. Having a full SSD is well worth it.
