Laptop Skins

Ever thought about looking online for skins for laptops or another device? Here’s a couple tips to help get you started;

Visit a page like Google Images and look for the image you were thinking to use for a skin.

Change the results to show “Extra Large” and look for images 1,000 Kb (which is 1 MB) or larger. You can find so many images for skins this way.

Remember:

Larger devices like laptops, netbooks, xbox, playstation or Wii should use images 1 MB or larger in file size.

Devices closer to size of a cell phone, PSP, ipod, MP3 player, Nintendo DS Lite, or similar size can use images that are 500 Kb or larger.

Use images with less than recommend file size would probably produce skins that could be disappointing due to unclear or pixelated images.

Most of these are not going to work for a laptop skin, the resolution is too small. But they should make great skins for smaller devices like iPods, PSP’s, cell phones or other mobile gadgets.
