MacBooks are already one of the best laptop choices you can make, but a few key accessories make them even better.

Since you've already spent a lot on the laptop, the picks below will only set you back $50 — at most. 

Whether you're looking for a nice way to use your MacBook with a stand, or want to make sure it won't get damaged while you travel, you'll find what you're looking for here.

 

A stand

Amazon

For years, my primary computer was a MacBook Pro docked to an external display. I tried a few stands, but none held up next to the BookArc. Keeping your MacBook docked vertically saves space, and the BookArc is designed to help route wires to avoid cable clutter.

A Bluetooth mouse

Logitech

If you're sitting down for a long day of work, using a trackpad to move the mouse cursor around can get tedious. You're constantly moving your hands around, which is inefficient when trying to get things done.

I've used this Logitech Bluetooth mouse at home for years, and I liked it enough to buy a second one to use at work.

A more convenient way to charge

Amazon

Svelte as the MacBook's charging brick is, it can be a pain to find a convenient place to plug it in. The Blockhead attaches to the power adapter you already have and allows it to be plugged in parallel to the wall, which is convenient if you'd like to tuck it behind a couch, bed, or table.
