Or two-part epoxy. In fact, there is kneadable two-part wood-coloured epoxy. It'd likely bond with the plastic, putting some strength back into the case. If you were quick about it, you could probably combine it with it's partner product: a white epoxy for marine use. Do it using a damascus steel type of layering and it may come across quite sharp.

And maybe stain the wood with a light stain to bring out the wood texture?

Fortunately for me, I've got old laptops to experiment with! (and my woodcarving skills will hopefully come in handy) I wonder how a chisel would work for those of us without laser engravers…

However thinkpads have a rubberized coating that, if hit with sandpaper, would start to look ugly very quickly. We did consider that possibility at first.
