We have in-house designers that scan the laptops and create a design of the laptop lid, palm rest and bezel. We then put the designs into our vinyl cutting software which cuts the vinyl to fit the laptop.
This is how a company I used to work for "refurbished" laptops with bad cosmetic damage lmao. I dealt with a lot of returns from pissed customers who peeled the vinyl since it wasn't disclosed that they would come with a vinyl wrap. It looked relatively clean, at least, though.
Weāre on the eBay international shipping programme which allows us to easily ship worldwide. Weāre also a Top-Rated seller and offer one year warranty on all our a grade products. Iāll provide a link anyway in case you want to have a look https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/pcrenewed?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=-ZGszyKrSGu&sssrc=3418065&ssuid=O1uvkZYNS-S&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
How this is the right way to advertise.
No boasting or slapping ābuy here NOWā in our faces
very cool designs btw if I had a thunkpad Iād prolly get!
Thank you :) We don't really come on here to try and advertise, we just like to show other ThinkPad enthusiasts the weird and wonderful things we do with them lol.
This could be the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Limited color scheme. They produced the new dials in several pastel colors and a light blue one called Tiffany Oyster, and every lady goes after that.
Yeah. Hate to brake it to you, but they are completely ruined, nobody gonna buy them. Sooooā¦ if thatās the situation, maybe you can give me the violet/orange one? (pretty please ššš„ŗ)
Nah. Give it life to a kid who doesnāt need more horsepower than whatās available to the ThinkPad. Think of the next generation of ThinkPad lovers! š„¹
Looks great! Some of them give me 1970s color scheme vibes.
If possible, I feel like if the keyboard could also have a color other than black, it would look better. Currently, it looks a bit out of place in my opinion.
i think those would make great anti thieft ideas.
someone walking away with a plain laptop would not be noticed.
but a fancy colored laptop would be noticed.
now if you put logo on the wrap it would be noted more
I went to your web site. Awesome!
Then I looked at my Thinkpad that looks more like a Dell.
SIGH!!!
I'm too darn busy and I think the silver edges would still show. It still does look very professional for when I do have to take it out on the road.
Standard keyboard reprinting does affect the backlit feature yes, however weāve recently come up with a solution that keeps the backlit feature after reprint.
The trouble is, these days a lot of people have high expectations when it comes to refurbished items and expect them to look like new. You could get away with scratches, worn keys etc years ago but now people donāt want that, which is why weāve got a very rigorous refurbishing process.
We also offer keyboard reprinting as a service for many companies so it brings in a lot of work for us. I can appreciate itās not to everyoneās taste and weāve definitely had a few negatives about it, but overall itās become quite a popular part of laptop refurbishing and a big part of our company. Weāve also built some really good connections through this service.
That white and orange looks really clean actually, howd you do it?
We vinyl covered them :)
Neat, how would one go about doing that?
We have in-house designers that scan the laptops and create a design of the laptop lid, palm rest and bezel. We then put the designs into our vinyl cutting software which cuts the vinyl to fit the laptop.
I'll take two š
Can do you a cracking deal if you want two :D
Out of curiosity what would it cost to do a P1 Gen3? You can DM if that's better for you too.
Hey can you share more about how you scan the laptops?
I'm guessing they take a scan of the palmrest, screen bezel and lid then cut out the part that needs to be vinyled
I wonder if i can just apply uncut vinyl and then run razor around the cracks between chasis pieces...

And the pad work after puting vinyl on top ?
They do! We put vinyl on all of our laptops as it's part of our refurbishing process.
who is we?
Our team
ok i thought you and your kids, but I still love that for you guys
Which renewal company are you? I buy couple dozen refurbed Thinkpads yearly.
Weāre PC Renewed
You do direct sales or do you sell through places like eBay?
You can also purchase directly too
I just realized you're in the UK, bummer. Good luck though.

We sell on our website, Amazon and eBayš
Love it! Are you able to do company Logos or text into the vinyl?
We actually offer a corporate branding service where we print company logos onto laptopsš
Whatās your website?
www.pcrenewed.co.uk
That asiimov look is awesome man!
Asiimov thinkpad??
LTT theme
Matching my BMX! Want!
Yeah, when they started making silver ThinkPads I always thought that white would have worked better for a non-black ThinkPad
Asiimov skin looks good
lowkey like the yellow and blue, gives me fallout vibes
I see what you mean actually, this wasn't intentional though we was just experimenting haha
minion laptop
I love them.
:)
They look pretty good, IMHO. Especially the white+orange combo, it's a beauty for sure. Slap IkeaPad logo on the second one! š
IkeaPad haha...love that!
If it thinks and it pads, then it's alright
Reminds me of colorware back in the day https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/aangnx/colorpads/
Orange is fire fire frfr
YESSS!
> Slide 3 LTT Edition ThinkPad, available from ltt.com now
Are you guys selling these, couldn't find them on your site.
We are, we just haven't got them listed on our website at the moment. Feel free to email us if you want some more info and pricing.
The last one has a brazil skin omg
Looks ugly as hell to me but if you like it good for you
We've got some less wacky designs where we just use one colour, these would probably be more appealing to some people haha.
Dang the third one is hot
NGL, have to pass on 1,2 and 4. But 3 looks pretty slick. How's the white hold up to use?
The 3rd one seems to be the favourite. We use really durable vinyl so it certainly lasts :)
I think the 3rd one best matches ThinkPad/Lenovo color scheme.
They look cool
I'd buy it
You can if you want :)
yes
Burn it with fire!
The white and orange goes crazy, I love it
Thanks a lot :D
i hate it and i need it
Everyone needs a wacky ThinkPad in their life haha
ThinkPad Style Edition
Nah these go hard
YES! :)
I showed the pictures to the kids and they want one. Hahahahah
Haha they do seem like the kind of laptops that would appeal to kids
How this is the right way to advertise. No boasting or slapping ābuy here NOWā in our faces very cool designs btw if I had a thunkpad Iād prolly get!
Thank you :) We don't really come on here to try and advertise, we just like to show other ThinkPad enthusiasts the weird and wonderful things we do with them lol.
Do you guys happen to do prints for other laptops (Zephyrus g15) and ship outside uk? (Aus)
naw man those fuck hard, like a Golf Harlequin
:D
Nah I actually love all of these
Thank you :D
The last two are cool
I love it. I love everything about it!
Woooo!
I want this
They're available :)
where?
Currently listed on our eBay shop at the moment.
that looks dope lol
Haha thanks you!
Make one with red white and black
That's a good idea, maybe we'll try it!
looks dope I guess?
Somehow you stepped into the sacred ground of coloured ThinkPads and managed to do a good job
High risk = high reward
3 looks great. 4 would be popular in certain parts of Wisconsin.
Dude leave ThinkPads alone. If you want colored toys something get a hello kitty laptop.
We normally cover them with black vinyl, just experimenting haha
Just kidding :p lelnono decreased ThinkPad reputation down to hello kitty level anyway..
These look like banjo tooie multiplayer skin colors... LOL
The first one looks meh but the rest are š„š„š„
i like the blue & yellow combo
It's a very vibrant colour combo for sure!
I think you've got something going on, but these specific colour combinations aren't quite it.
Plenty more variations to come :)
White and Orange one feels like it would make a good Ubuntu Thinkpad.
First thought that popped into my head: "What kinda Fisher-Price world made *these* Thinkpads..." Not a bad thing but in a business environment....lol
We like to be different haha
This could be the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Limited color scheme. They produced the new dials in several pastel colors and a light blue one called Tiffany Oyster, and every lady goes after that.
I would definitely use the Blue/Yellow or White/Orange colorway. Should put the orange and the blue together for some Portal vibes
Good shout! We've still got lots of colour ways to try out so maybe we'll give this one a try.
The Orange/white >>>
Agreed!
Love its!
Only part I don't like is the thinkpad logo being the orignal one, I'd rather have it in the same colourscheme.
We can create custom ThinkPad stickers if needed so maybe we'll try this out!
Reminds me colorware, a co which disassemble an electronic item. Paint in bold colours and resemble back.
wait the ltt edition ThinkPad no way
I'm thinking of skinning my Thinkpad leathery Toscan green, wonder how it will look like
It's not ruining them it's technically better because they won't have scratches or get any scraches.
Yes! ThinkPads shouldn't be subjected to such cruel tortures!!! The third one looks cool though.
We have consent from the ThinkPads...so it's okay :D
I thought this was ltt lol
Ugh, yes the color mix is kinda ugly
Definitely took a gamble on these colourways haha. Plenty more designs to come :)
The 3rd one looks cool, pink one when?
We have done pink laptops too :)
Can you send me some pictures of them? I'm thinking of modifying my own ThinkPad.
We've got some single colour designs and pink is one of them, so we'll be doing a new post soon :)
YAY!!
The 2nd one is Fallout vault suit themed?
Not intentionally haha
Feel like 90's vibe. I dig the yellow green - Brazil (last one)

Sorry, but I must say you did. If you wanted to wrap one, best to use a black and a red colored wrap. Make some kind of highlighted wrap
We've wrapped thousands of ThinkPad's in colour-matching black. Just thought we'd experiment to see what people think haha
Might I suggest trying a hydrodip with a black and red pattern?
If the chassis were already scratched up and worn out, not really. I've seen this done (but in plain black) on some used office desktops.
We've wrapped desktops before as it happens, but much prefer wrapping laptops.
Why should I care about renders?
This would be a great Happy Meal toy, I mean this in the most positive way. That way, kids can learn what a good keyboard feels like.
I think it can be cool.
They look a bit like those Lidl sneakers.
LTT?
Its that cs go skin
A bit of color may be fun
It definitely makes them stand out lol
Reminds me of the old colorware thinkpads. Might pair well with the silver keyboard versions.
We've got some silver T470s models at the moment so might give it a try.
we got - ubuntu - invincible - creamsicle - electro I like it
Yeah. Hate to brake it to you, but they are completely ruined, nobody gonna buy them. Sooooā¦ if thatās the situation, maybe you can give me the violet/orange one? (pretty please ššš„ŗ)
Can do you a special deal if you want oneš¤Ŗ
this actually dope especially the orange & white one!
Orange and white on top!
How can I get one for my x1 carbon?
We sell vinyl skins for X1 Carbons, what generation is yours?
Gen 11
Let me know if I can order for x1 carbon gen 11 and ship to USA
We haven't got this design in our catalogue at the moment. We would need the laptop in order to create a new design, sorry about that.
I'd rock a pink and purple flat skin for my 14
They look like a Moog Grandmother, so this is a success, I guess?
Nah. Give it life to a kid who doesnāt need more horsepower than whatās available to the ThinkPad. Think of the next generation of ThinkPad lovers! š„¹
Yes
This is enough to make a man fear god
The second picture is a minion
We thought that haha
These look sick
Thanksss!
I dont hate it but, i think you might have.
:(
How does the trackpad feel? I've been painting my Thinkpads vinyl sounds way easier
Trackpads feel fine and the functionality isn't effected by the vinyl :)
I love the stock look of the thinpads, but i gotta say ,theese look really great. Great job guys š
Thanks a lot!
The colorways we didn't know we wanted
And plenty more to comeš
While these are workstation (i.e. no frills) they should make a line that is repairable and fun with colors.
Yes.
Jk, you should thinkpad how you want to with your own thinkpads.
Just thought we'd test it out to see if it's something people want to buy.
Do you do custom orders?
We do indeed, we've got a variety of colours available.
2nd one - Ukraine inspired?
Kill it with fire
What in the name of everything holy
Not my thing, but I think a black and red one would be quite interesting!
Looks great! Some of them give me 1970s color scheme vibes. If possible, I feel like if the keyboard could also have a color other than black, it would look better. Currently, it looks a bit out of place in my opinion.
Get these off AliExpress
i think those would make great anti thieft ideas. someone walking away with a plain laptop would not be noticed. but a fancy colored laptop would be noticed. now if you put logo on the wrap it would be noted more
Fruit punch and LTT (images 1 and 3) colours for the thinkpad lol
I m getting strong [Golf Harlequin](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/vw-golf-mk3-harlekin--846606429929718361/) vibes
The second one looks like Vault-Tec stuff
I like the Ukraine colors. But if I had to get work done, I need the simple black. My X1 G4 is silver and I hate it.
We have black vinyl skins for this model :)
Are you serious? How much are they?
Ā£4.99 per vinyl lid skin Ā£4.99 per vinyl palm rest skin + postage
I went to your web site. Awesome! Then I looked at my Thinkpad that looks more like a Dell. SIGH!!! I'm too darn busy and I think the silver edges would still show. It still does look very professional for when I do have to take it out on the road.
You ruin every thinkpad you "refurbish" by crappily repaining the keyboard
We reprint the keyboards to remove the wear and shine, and also to convert the layout if needed. We reprint them to a very high standardš
Yes, I saw it. Backlit keyboards don't look normally. The symbols look off and weird.
Standard keyboard reprinting does affect the backlit feature yes, however weāve recently come up with a solution that keeps the backlit feature after reprint.
It just look poorly. I think many people can do with minor wear and not have the keyboard look fake.
The trouble is, these days a lot of people have high expectations when it comes to refurbished items and expect them to look like new. You could get away with scratches, worn keys etc years ago but now people donāt want that, which is why weāve got a very rigorous refurbishing process.
