After replacing the Surface Book base, the question popped into my head, why don't I paint my laptop the color I wanted a laptop to be in. If this laptop was going to die early, I wanted it in the color I wanted.
A trip or two to Walmart, Michaels and a few other places, and I have a computer in an even better color. Color-shifting Cobalt Blue Surface Book. :) Only the clipboard is painted at the moment. Now if only I could get rid of those grey on grey keys the book has. Here's a close up of it. Colorshifts from blue to green blue to purple depending on the light.

As a side note, all the laptops in the house got painted.
