Hi, I got a used laptop from an family member. It did have this this annoying sticker on it (see picture). Apparently for years already.

So, how can I remove it without scratching the metal body or leaving residue behind?

Edit: Having some problems with picture upload, but here's a similar photo for reference: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/jDV7-ehqF38/maxresdefault.jpg

I think you forgot to add the picture :(

But, I assume it's one of those super annoying ones. I'd say carefully peel all you can, then Goo Gone is your friend :)

Test a small area of the laptop that you can't see to make sure the Goo Gone doesn't haze or discolor the plastic.
