Laptops are versatile tools that you can use every day for personal and business use. Whether you received it as a gift or bought one yourself, if you have a MacBook^® laptop, you might be wondering if there are any accessories you should get. By purchasing the right accessories, you can protect the investment and maximize your experience. 

4 Must-have Accessories for a MacBook

1. Wireless Mouse

The track pad on a laptop is handy for portable use but is not always the easiest way to move the pointer on the screen, especially if you need precise control, such as with graphic design. A wireless mouse will connect with your computer via Bluetooth^®, making it a little easier on your hand if you use the laptop while sitting at a desk.

2. Bag or Case

Because the laptop is an investment, you need to know that you aren’t putting it in danger each time you use it or carry it somewhere. A bag or case can be used to protect it against drops or scratches and often has a strap to comfortably place over your shoulder during transport. It might also have other compartments to hold other accessories, such as a charger cord or mouse.

3. Keyboard Cover

A keyboard cover is a silicone cover that’s placed over your keyboard. This keeps dust, food, or other debris from getting underneath the keys and impacting their function. It’s ideal if you often eat or drink while using your laptop, such as at a coffee shop.

4. External Hard Drive

External hard drives give you additional storage space while protecting your information. By storing any files off of the computer’s internal drive, it will be safe—even if your laptop is stolen or irreparably damaged. This is essential if you store important work files on the laptop or take a lot of pictures of your family.
