Must have Laptop Stuff

GnomeWizardd

As a new Laptop only owner, I was starting to wonder what are things are a MUST have to take with or use at your desk? Accessories or certain cases or programs for your lappy

Me? I found a good pair of Earbuds Like my Ultimate Ears Mertro Fi2 make traveling or cracking it open at the local Starbucks much more enjoyable

The first accessory I buy for a laptop is a bluetooth mouse. I have 2 Microsoft and 1 Logitech bluetooth mice but I think Razer is also good.

For my desk, I find that a decent laptop stand is a must have. I have this one at home and find it to be a bit on the big side but I like it overall.

A decent all-purpose USB adapter kit is always a handy thing to keep in the laptop bag.

If you travel a lot, it might be a good idea to get a small portable surge protector to keep in your bag. I also tend to keep an SD -> USB adapter with me since the 5-in-1 on my laptop is kind of hit or miss with media.
