Luxurious laptops
Inclosia Solutions has developed a process it calls the Exo overmolding process, which can be used to add fabrics, leather or metal to PC enclosures. Inclosia says fabrics won't peel off PCs and can be wrapped around curves and angles without leaving wrinkles.

Can a normal user make his own design to insert on the notebook?
This certainly reminds me of some classy designs through the late 60s and the 70s. The wooden finish for laptops will bring back the woodgrain effect that was used on car dashboards, car door accents, portable radios and some amplifiers as a way of saying that these objects have class. Also, in that era, hi-fi equipment and large-screen TVs were housed in wooden cabinets and people who owned such equipment saw this as a touch of class.
The leather look certainly reminds me of the 1974 Ford LTD that was sold in Australia. This car had a dashboard that was covered in gray leather with stitching along the top edge. The instrument panel had the woodgrain accent that was also part of saying how classy the car was.
This molding method will bring us back to the days where the leather look or the woodgrain look was a way of saying that it has class!

My TOOLS don't need to look pretty, they simply need to look like tools.
i.e. I don't paint my Est-Wing hammer to look like a *****... don't mess with my other tools either.
The materials added to the encasings will be helping the laptops keep the heat and this would be a huge no no.
