Top Useful Must-have Laptop Accessories For A New And Old Laptops by PRINCEHPXP(m): 12:46am On Jan 02, 2018
No major gadget comes with everything you need right in the box. Whether you’re purchasing a laptop or tablet for yourself or as a gift, it’s going to need some extra gear That why I Craft Out this post about the most Useful Must Have Laptop Accessories. From wires to memory cards, cases and bags, these are the must-have accessories to buy.

microSD Card

Having an external or spare microSD card can prove to be very vital if you have a pc or even a tablet. Because there comes a time that you might need to get a file be it software, photos, docs, or whatever file you want and you cant bring your laptop with you or you didn't expect your friend to have the file you want. So in this case having an external MicroSD would be very helpful.

Laptop Backpack

If you don’t have a laptop bag pack then I will assume you must be only using your pc indoors, if not then, you’re going to need a laptop bag to carry it in. it should be an average of 4.5 stars by over 800 customers on Amazon, this sub-$30 backpack can hold up to a 15-inch laptop, along with room for lots of other stuff like cables, books or even a tablet. It also has a built-in charging port you can use to juice your phone if you put a power bank inside the bag.

HDMI Cable

You would think you don’t need an HDMI cable as a PC accessory but hey! If your laptop has an HDMI-out port and you want to connect to a monitor or TV, you’ll need a cable to send the signal.

Wireless Mouse

When you’re balancing the laptop on your lap to do something you would think that Your touchpad or pointing stick is fine, but a wireless mouse is more comfortable and precise. The Logitech M510 has a fantastic rubberized gripping surface and two helpful buttons which will help you to move forward / back or whatever you configure on its left side. Which comes in silver, red, or blue.

HooToo USB-C Hub

If you’ve got a MacBook or super-thin Ultrabook that only offers USB Type-C ports, you’ll need some kind of hub to connect to most peripherals. This portable hub connects to a single USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port on your laptop and provides three USB 3.0 ports, an SD card reader and HDMI out.

Logitech C920 Webcam

Most laptops we have today don’t even have webcams which are very terrible considering this modern age that we are in. Even if you like your built-in camera, you may have a hard time using it when your laptop is docked and its screen is closed.

1TB Portable Hard Drive

Even if you have an online storage service such as, and, but they aren’t great for storing large files and they won’t help you if your computer crashes and you need a full system restore. Which will make having an external, USB hard drive gives you an edge by a fast and secure way to store your files, take your data with you on the road and keep a full system image in case the worst happens. I would say this is the needed accessory to have if you are like me that sees a file in my friends pc and would want to have by hall means possible. cheap external hard drive strong performance, attractive design and ability to work with both Macs and PCs is right out of the box.

Mechanical Keyboard

Are you typing up reports, having an external with mechanical switches will help you work (or shoot) faster? The comes with your choice of genuine Cherry MX switches — we recommend the clicky blue ones — along with a red backlight and different color WASD keys.

20,100 mAh Portable Charger

Power banks have proved to be very vital in recent days, which can be used to charge your tablets or phone. Let’s say for example you wanted to browse the internet but you need your phone hotspot on but your phone battery is down this is where the power bank comes to play, and beside that. For example, the Anker PowerCore+ can also juice a laptop. If you have a MacBook or any of the dozens of PC laptops that can charge over standard Type-C, the Anker PowerCore+ can provide you with enough extra battery life to get hours of work done. The 20,100 mAh battery comes with two USB 3.0 ports and a single USB-C connection. There are a lot of portable power banks that you can use to charge your charge a tablet or phone.

Monitor

You might think you don’t need an external monitor but I tell you this, getting an External monitor will make you more productive when you’re working at your desk. The best monitor you can get is Samsung SD300 for under $150 which is about ₦52,500 but there are other cheap monitors out there, the Samsung SD300 has a wide color gamut, built-in speakers and good brightness for the price.

Plugable USB 3.0 Docking station

There comes a time when using your laptop you might need to connect to multiple monitors, a keyboard, and a mouse. A docking station such as this affordable choice from Plugable can connect you to all your peripherals over a single wire.

Stereo Headset[b]

The experience of listening to music in mono from a speaker, eg. that of an old table radio, versus headphones is completely different. When a speaker is projecting into a room, the sound is reflected off all the surfaces in the room, so there is still a sense of space and presence. When a mono signal is piped into headphones, the sound all seems to be coming from the center of the skull (as Consumer Reports described it many years ago) an effect which I find drab and lifeless.

[b]PC Gaming Controller


You might know the saying that says “All work no play makes Jack a dull boy” Say what you may, but the best experience of gaming is provided by a console. For professional gamers, a gaming controller, like that of XBOX One, is as important as water to a fish. A gaming controller is, hands down, one of the most awesome laptop accessories for gamers.

The Bottom Line

Having a laptop without most of these Useful Must Have Laptop Accessories is like wearing an armor, but possessing no sword.These cool laptop accessories will make your laptop more proficient and will increase your productivity.

So, order them now and make the most of your laptop in the most efficient manner.
