>To each their own of course, but I find these plastered laptops kind of childish. I can't be the only one right?
Well, a lot of users are kind of children. In their teens, 20s, early 30s. So depends on how old are you. Also, are you tie+shirt serious? If you work at some tie+shirt company's IT, you might be more inclined towards a "serious" looking laptop.
>Maybe it is similar to the more American custom to communicate 'witty' things on t-shirts?
I am not tie-shirt serious nor is the company I work at. I have gone to work in almost any type of clothing, including football (soccer for Americans) shirt + shorts (for playing after work).
I feel strange about the plaster laptops because it seems that people lend their identity from whatever they stick on their laptop which in turn comes from what technology they happen to use. I like Coffee script, Rails, Backbone, etc. but I don't really identify with it any further than my resume.

As if we Europeans don't do it?
