Stands, cables, adapters, docking stations, flash drives and other necessary things that greatly simplify life.

1. Vertical stand

Stylish MacBook holder in a curved aluminum plate. Thanks to three different inserts made of soft silicone, the accessory is compatible with all models of Apple laptops - even covers will not interfere. It is convenient to pass all the cables through the cutouts of the legs, and so that they do not hang out under the frame, special clamps are provided. The accessory is available in silver and dark gray.

2. Aluminum stand

An even more minimalist holder for working with MacBook in system unit mode. The stand consists of two halves, so it fits laptops of any thickness - just adjust the size and fix the position with a screw. The inner part has a soft coating and does not leave any scratches on the body of the device. There are two colors to choose from: Silver and Space Gray.

3. Bamboo stand

Small wooden table with legs that can accommodate not only an iMac or MacBoook, but much more. On its surface are carved cavities for a smartphone, cups, stationery, and in front there is a groove in which it is convenient to install the tablet. The height of the legs is just enough to slide the keyboard and mouse under the stand if necessary, freeing up space on the table.

4. Foldable MacBook stand

Comfortable stand that will relieve neck and back pain when working with a laptop. Thanks to the metal frame, it has the necessary strength, but at the same time it is very compact due to its folding structure. You can adjust the angle of inclination by fixing one of six positions with the built-in magnets. The set includes a case for storing and carrying the stand.

5. Protective stickers

Scratch-resistant vinyl decals for MacBook. More than a dozen options are available for all models of Apple laptops, you can also choose one of the corporate colors. Easy to stick and leave no residue. Optionally, you can order overlays for the trackpad and the inside of the laptop. And the seller sends the film to the screen as a gift.

6. Cases for MacBook

A more reliable option for protection is a translucent plastic armor that covers the laptop from above and below. Keeps on latches and leaves no marks on the case. Versions are available for all MacBook models, including both the newest and the oldest. The case comes with a film for the screen, a silicone overlay for the keyboard and plugs for ports.

7. USB ‑ C to USB ‑ C cable

Durable cable in nylon braid, which, unlike the complete one, does not fall apart after six months of use. The L-shaped plug is also an important advantage, with which it is much more convenient to charge the laptop. The end of the connector has a minimum thickness and does not interfere with connecting even large accessories to the adjacent port. Cable length - from 0.5 to 2 m. Optionally, you can order a version with angled connectors on both sides.

8. USB ‑ C to DisplayPort cable

High-quality cable for connecting an external display. Unlike HDMI, it will allow you to output a picture in 4K 60 Hz resolution. It is also much more compact than a full-size DisplayPort cable with an appropriate adapter. Also, the accessory will be useful when connecting multiple 4K monitors. Length - from 1.5 to 3 m, there is an option with an L-shaped USB-C plug.

9. Cable organizer

The old MagSafe chargers, in addition to the magnetic connector, had another cool feature - folding horns, on which the cable was conveniently wound. This accessory adds this functionality to modern USB-C adapters.

Putting it on top, we get a ledge for winding the cable, which will also protect the charger from scratches. In addition, the kit includes elastic springs that protect the weak points of the insulation from kinks and allow you to fix the cable ends in a folded state.

10. Ugreen adapter

A simple adapter for connecting a variety of standard USB ‑ A peripherals to modern Macs with USB ‑ C ports. The 15 cm cable does not tangle and the USB socket does not obstruct the adjacent port. The USB 3.0 standard is supported, so files from hard drives will be copied quickly.

11. USB ‑ hub Baseus

A fairly tiny hub that adds the traditional USB ports to MacBooks that many can't do without. The hub occupies two standard connectors and merges with the laptop case when connected. Instead, there are two standard USB 3.0 slots, slots for TF and SD memory cards, and one USB-C port, which is convenient to use to charge your computer.

12. USB ‑ hub Orico

A more functional hub that takes up just one USB-C port and adds 11 different ports to the Mac. Four USB 3.0 are available for storage and peripherals, HDMI and VGA for connecting monitors, as well as Gigabit Ethernet, memory card slots and an audio jack. An additional USB-C for power is also provided.

13. USB ‑ hub Baseus

Convenient aluminum hub that doubles as a stand to improve laptop cooling. Plugs into one USB-C port and significantly expands the range of interfaces. There are a pair of HDMI and VGA for monitors, three USB 3.0 for hard drives and other equipment.

We didn't forget the card reader, audio jack and auxiliary USB-C for charging. The hub can be flipped over to connect to the connectors on the right side of the MacBook, and can also be used with an iMac by placing it on a stand leg.

14. Baseus docking station

A powerful hub with an impressive number of ports on a convenient detachable stand that lets you connect an incredible amount of hardware to your Mac. The most advanced version has 17 interfaces placed on both sides.

Three HDMI, VGA, Gigabit Ehternet, three USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0, an audio jack, a card reader and a pair of USB-C are available. And all this is connected through a single connector. There are a variety of options to choose from, including a version with a power adapter for charging your MacBook.

15. Samsung universal flash drive

Convenient portable storage from 32 GB to 256 GB that can be used with both modern computers with USB ‑ C ports and older hardware with a traditional USB port. In fact, this is a USB-C flash drive with a built-in adapter to a regular USB. The adapter is mounted on the back of the case and is always at hand, if necessary, it is easy to use.
