I dunno, the US market seems to be, if not large, at least reasonably
fanatic.

Hello Kitty mobile phones.
Hello Kitty Gameboy Colors.
Hello Kitty laptops (seriously!).

OTOH, a pink cartoon-covered laptop does have that way of saying on
the plane "I'm a dangerous lunatic terrorist, and no, I _don't_ want
to talk with you about your grandchildren".

I'd want one covered in Lego baseplates. Green ones. Maybe grey, to
match the other parts of the laptop.
