    Honestly I’d recommend the Logitech K380 keyboard because it can connect to different devices at the push of a button. Also it matches the pebble.

      I actually have this keyboard at my desk. The possibility of pairing several devices make it super practical to change from between my Mac Mini and my MacBook Air.
      It's pretty good to type on and quite cheap.

    The Anker 7-1 USB-C hub/dongle works great with it’s features. HDMI, 100w pass through (only 80 watts but enough), $30! Works great, no issues. If you need Ethernet, go with the 8-1.

    A cheap accessory I really like to use is the Zeiss Lens Wipes. Works great on phone screens and the MacBook keyboard since I get a ton of finger grease on the keys really fast.

    This is going to sound slightly weird, but for people who want a portable dual monitor setup, get the basic entry level iPad, add a $10 case/stand, and use it with built-in Sidecar support to give you a portable second monitor. Plus, you can use it as an iPad when you want.

    I'd highly recommend the Moft laptop stand if you're comfortable with sticking it to the underside of your Macbook. It's honestly a really good laptop stand that you can take on the go.

    So I've been trying to decide between an iPad (mini) or the air. I write and need something I can take with me on the move and not usually by a table. I like the idea of a mini with a foldable keyboard, mouse and stand. But then It think I mind as well just get a laptop.
    13" is bigger then what I'm looking for and the price is considerably more. Now with you saying that I still need all these accessories, lol well damn.
    I wish they'd bring back the 11" air, that would be perfect... For me anyways.

    hey guys, I won an m1 MacBook pro via a scholarship should I keep or sell it? I currently have a surface laptop 3 that has been good to me but the only 'meh' thing is the 7hour battery life. I am in a bit of a dilemma and I am not sure how I would feel jumping ship to Apple. Any suggestions?

    I think the keyboard, mouse, and monitor are important accessories because every. single. day. you'll experience your computer connected to these devices with your eyes and hands. I respect the fact that people have budgets and that it's not easy to say "price is no object" across the board. But my guess is that if you have enough money to buy a computer, you probably a) need it and b) you have enough money for important accessories.
    I guarantee that six months from now you'll forget how much you spent on your accessories. But you won't forget that the monitor colors are off or the resolution is low or the keyboard or mouse sucks. A cheap keyboard is misery. Spend some money - there are plenty of affordable accessories. Don't buy "the cheapest" for these three human interface products.

    Finally plunged head first into the MacBook Air M1 512gb pool (at the expense of my MacBook Pro 2017 with Touch Bar - not gonna miss it).
    1) the battery on this laptop is INSANE. I have to work very hard to deplete 10% battery level, 1,5 hours of zooming costs 8% of battery power. Meanwhile my old MacBook Pro is sweating battery power just sitting there doing nothing.
    2) it’s dead cold. Not even sliver of heat. Maybe it will get very faint warm but that’s about it. The intel MacBook Pro gets constant fever.
    3) instant on is no joke.
