In 2024, there’s a plethora of MacBook models that you might have in your lineup. Whether you have the ever-slim MacBook Air or an even more powerful 14-inch or 16-inch MacBook Pro, you’ve already spent hundreds on your device, so it’s worth spending a little bit more to keep it safe, looking pristine and functioning well as long as possible.
Whether your commuting with your device to the office, toting it to a neighborhood coffee shop or just want to safeguard it around your own home, we’ve rounded up an array of options, from cases and sleeves that protect your device to dongles, adapters and accessories that optimize any MacBook for your needs.

Macbook stands and storage
This laptop stand raises your MacBook to a comfortable height for usage. The aluminum base will give you extra stability while you type away, and the anti-slip silicone will hold your computer in place.
We like this laptop stand for the sleek way it keeps your MacBook vertically stored. The Space Gray or silver finish will blend in nicely with your MacBook (if those are your color choices), and the stand securely holds your laptop upright to give you more desk space and to keep your laptop safe from any accidents.
We’ve been using this laptop stand for a handful of months now, and we’re big fans. It lifts your laptop up 6 inches, which is a comfortable height for a long day at work. It comes in white and black and is designed for all sizes of the MacBook lineup.
Keyboards and trackpads
If you’re looking to boost your work-from-home setup, adding a wireless keyboard and mouse can make all the difference. Keep your MacBook Pro or Air on a stand and work in a more comfortable and ergonomic way. This mouse has the M1 chip, meaning the connection to your laptop is seamless. It’s rechargeable with a USB-C cable and comes in different metal finishes to match that of your MacBook. It also features optical sensors for accurate and quick tracking.
This full-size keyboard adds arrow navigation keys as well as a number pad. It connects to your laptop via Bluetooth and is rechargeable with a USB-C cable. The battery should last you up to 80 working hours, and the standby battery life is up to 100 days. It’s available in a sleek Space Gray or Silver option.
An edge-to-edge glass trackpad, this pick from Apple is wireless and rechargeable, and each charge should last you about a month. It’ll pair automatically via Bluetooth with your MacBook so you’re ready to get working right away.
This external keyboard was designed with Mac users in mind, making it an excellent choice to get more out of your MacBook Pro (or Air). It has a Mac key layout and has an added emoji key for quick access to your favorite emojis. It’s rechargeable, and without keyboard backlighting, one charge should last you up to five months.
Dongles and adapters
While the newest MacBook Pros will have plenty of port access, you might want a boost for the older models and the MacBook Air. This multiport adapter adds a USB-C port, a VGA port and a USB-A port. It’s a small but handy adapter to keep around, especially if you find yourself using VGA cables for external displays.
Losing the cable, Satechi’s USB hub plugs into both of the USB-C ports of your MacBook and sits pretty attached to the laptop. It adds a USB-C port, a micro SD and SD card readers, as well as two USB-A ports. We like that it’s wireless and plugs right into your laptop, and you can choose from metallic finishes to coordinate perfectly with your MacBook.
This 6-in-1 port expander plugs into your MacBook and adds Ethernet, HDMI, two USB-C and two USB Type 3.0 ports. It’s small and lightweight, so it will easily fit in your bag, or you can tuck it into your laptop sleeve pocket.
