The MacBook is a powerful machine. Whether you're using a MacBook Air for web browsing and sending emails or a MacBook Pro for graphics-intensive projects like video editing and 3D design, Apple's laptops can handle a wide range of activities. But to enhance your experience, I suggest throwing some accessories into the mix.
Regardless of your MacBook of choice or the work you're using it for, a slew of peripherals can pair with your computer, like laptop stands, keyboards, charging bricks, and external displays. We've tested dozens over the past year, and these are the best MacBook accessories to streamline your workflow and unlock your machine's full potential. This is by no means an exhaustive list, as there are an innumerable number of accessories, so we'll always be on the hunt for more to test.
