MUST HAVE Laptop Accessories
MUST HAVE Laptop Accessories
by Tsubaki
1. Laptop bag
The first thing to must buy the moment the laptop lands in your hands is a laptop bag. It MUST be water-proof, zero-shock, zipper bag.
This will prevent your laptop from being damaged by accidental water spillage, drops, dirt and other elements that are not being covered by your limited warranty. Trust me... I know. (*sobs in the corner)
2. Mouse
Using the trackpad is such a tiresome task. Go ahead and buy a mouse and plug it in. Or better yet, choose retractable or wireless for a higher price tag.
3. Laptop Cooling Pad / Laptop Stand
Doing CPU intensive tasks such as gaming, AutoCAD, and watching movies straight from the DVD tends to make your laptop hot. To prevent frying your laptop or your lap, use a cooling pad /stand to regulate the airflow and lower the temperature of the laptop or by merely using a cushion/ pad. My choices are Belkin Laptop Stand or Logitech N315 Lapdesk.
What to consider:
Power usage(if USB powered, it mustnt be sap too much power because this lowers your battery life), aesthetics, portability, number of fans (if you have a gaming laptop, it probably needs more than just one fan), effectiveness(netbooks and other notebooks for less demanding tasks might not really need this)

4. Earphones / Headphones
Watching movies or listening to music in supposedly quiet places? Plug-in your earbuds and pump it up!
5. Wireless Router
So that you can access the internet anywhere in your house or office provided that you have an internet connection subscription.
6. Kensington Lock
When using notebooks on public places such as coffee shops and airports, tie and lock up your laptop to a heavy object using a kensington lock to prevent the person next to you from darting out of the place with your prized possession.7. External Portable HD
Sometimes, despite our notebook's HD space of 320 - 500gb, it's just not enough to store all of our movies, animes, pictures and games. Having one of these would give those computer packrats a satisfied sigh that all their data would be intact and they wouldnt have to "throw out" anything.Anything else I missed?
