With the M4 MacBook Air starting at $949 (on Amazon), I have been telling people that this is the most recommendable and best bang-for-buck laptop on the market. The power of the M4 chip combined with 16 GB of unified memory will be more than enough for 95% of customers walking into an Apple Store. But it is not all perfect, with only 256GB of base storage and no additional USB-C ports there is room to add some accessories to make your experience even better. So here are the best accessories for your new MacBook Air!Be sure to check out the video below to see some hands-on with all the accessories mentioned below!Moft Laptop StandThis is the biggest no-brainer accessory for any laptop. This thin and portable accessory lets you elevate your laptop height for a more ergonomic view. Features:Offers 15 and 25 viewing angles for ergonomic comfortOnly 1/9 thick and weighing 3 oz, it adds minimal bulkSecurely attaches to your laptop without leaving residueConstructed with PU and fiberglass for stability and longevityThe laptop stand comes in two variants: one with adhesive and one without. The adhesive is good if you dont mind keeping it permanently on the laptop, but the nonadhesive works just as well without residue! The stand starts at $24.99Spigen Clear CaseI wanted to get a case for the MacBook Air but didnt want to hide the new Sky Blue color. Spigen made the perfect hardshell plastic case that not only protects the laptop but also lets the sky blue shine through. Features:Made from polycarbonate for reliable protectionEnsures easy access to all ports and functionsFeatures TPU rubberized feet to prevent slippingIts a pretty self-explanatory accessory that gets the job done. It comes in variants for the 13in and 15in MacBook Air and starts at $37. Samsung T9 SSDOne of the drawbacks of getting a baseline MacBook Air is that it only comes with 256GB of storage. You could add more storage directly from Apple but it is unnecessarily expensive. So getting an external SSD solution is a must! I love the new T9 SSD by Samsung.Features:Read/write speeds up to 2,000 MB/sAvailable in 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB optionsRugged designThe 1TB version starts at $129, with the best value coming from the 2TB which is only $179!InfinaCore P3 Pro 4-in-1 The Macbook Air is capable of 67W fast charging but only comes with a 35W charging brick in the box. So that leaves an opportunity to get something much better to use. The InfinaCore P3 is a 65W charger that does much more than that!Features:65W charging brick2 USB-C and 1 USB-A portQi2 certified charger10,500mAh built in for on the go charging Diagnostic LCD display for charging statsThis one brick can charge all of my devices while plugged in or even as a portable power bank! The InfinaCore is on sale for $129, for a 4 in 1 that can do it all, its a fair price. SOTSU UltraSlim 12.5 MonitorIf you are looking for a portable monitor that wont break the bank but still feels premium, the Sotsu Ultraslim is one to consider. I have no idea how they made this so thin, but it is extremely portable. The display size is a tad small, but it still adds value as a second screen. Features:19201080 resolution for clear visualsOnly 4.6mm thick and weighs less than 1 lbUSB-C connectivity for easy setupNo dedicated power source neededComes with folio caseThis portable display will fit in any bag that can carry our M4 Macbook Air, and you can barely feel that it is there. For $159 its hard to find something at this price with this much quality. Final takeThe M4 MacBook Air is already an incredible laptop on its ownlightweight, powerful, and more than capable for most users right out of the box. But with the right accessories, it goes from great to amazing.Whether its protecting that new color, improving ergonomics with a stand, adding fast external storage, or getting a better charging setup, these accessories help you get more done with less hassle.
