Accessories you should get for your MacBook

Here are accessories you should definitely consider getting to improve your MacBook experience!

USB-C Hub

With the MacBook ports being USB-C ports and most USBs and other technological accessories being type A, an adapter will definitely come in handy to keep using your USBs and retrieve the information it contains. The hub I linked below has two USB 3.0 Type-A ports, an SD card slot, a microSD card slot, and an HDMI port. This all-in-one accessory is extremely useful and fills in the gaps the port shortage the MacBook Air has.

External Mouse

The MacBook Air does come with a trackpad, however some people prefer working with a traditional mouse. One can easily be bought and either be wired to your laptop, or connected via Bluetooth.  

Airpods/Wireless Earphones/Headphones

The options are unlimited! But having an accessory that lets you listen to audio or video files in privacy boosts your productivity as you can use your laptop even in the middle of a crowd! So find your ideal model and price point and pick from the endless options!

A protective cover / Sleeve

Always protect your device with a cover! wether it is a hard over or a sleeve, protecting your laptop from falls and scratches is extremely important since a laptop is a long term investment and repairing it might be expensive. Covers can also look nice!

A laptop stand

Since we're now spending most of our time on our laptop, having a laptop stand will help in maintaining a good posture and reducing physical pain.
