If you are a student and you have a Mac as your main study equipment, you are surely looking for a way to be more productive. In the market there are many accessories to complement your computer, both desktop and laptop, so you can get the most out of them. In this article we analyze different accessories that can become essential.
External monitors
Although the screen size of a Mac is not bad at all, in many cases we may miss a larger field of view. This may be necessary especially if we use applications like Final Cut on the Mac for a long time. Our Mac is obviously prepared to have an external monitor connected, and if you have an iMac a second screen next to it.
22 ″ HP Monitor
This monitor has a Full HD 1080 screen with micro-border with a variable size. It starts from 22 ″, but reaches 34 ″ with different resolutions and design. The 22 ″ model can be more than adequate to have a satisfactory experience without spending a lot of money on the purchase of the monitor.
Samsung U28E570
If having a good resolution monitor is very important to you, with this you will have a 28 ″ 4K 75 Hz panel . Several rear connections are included so that we can connect in addition to our Mac other equipment such as a game console. It has a VESA mount for easy installation on the wall.
Mice and keyboards
Although the trackpad of our Mac is comfortable to use, many users are used to using a classic mouse. That is why it is always recommended to carry one with you to improve our productivity with the Mac. Also, when we are at home, having a keyboard, especially if we also have an external monitor, is something absolutely essential.
Magic mouse 2
If you are a lover of Apple mice, Magic Mouse 2 can not miss in your student combo. This Apple mouse stands out above all for its portability since being so thin it can be carried comfortably in a backpack with hardly any space. Autonomy is also one of its strengths since you practically forget to charge it in many weeks, a very favorable point especially if you are a student. The ergonomics of the mouse depends on taste, since there are people who like it more bulky and others flatter.
Magic Keyboard
If you have an external monitor connected to your Mac, it is essential to have a keyboard to be able to type in the office suite for example. If we talk about Apple, the most recommended is undoubtedly the Magic Keyboard that is totally wireless and offers an incredible experience when it comes to writing. Luckily it does not have the butterfly mechanism so it will last us many years. The battery as in the previous case will not be any type of problem since it lasts several weeks and although it is not very portable, it will serve to leave it at home.
Backpacks and briefcases
If you have a MacBook, you obviously want to move it to different places in the most protected way possible, such as high school or university. To do it safely, it is best to get a tech backpack or a briefcase.
MARK Ryden backpack 
Waterproof backpack that includes a large number of holes to organize all your technological products and documents. It is especially suitable for university students thanks to its large capacity and the quick accesses it includes to store your mobile or transport voucher. Supports a computer up to 17.3 ″ , so the MacBook fits perfectly and will be padded in case we fall with the backpack does not suffer.
Portable briefcase
This briefcase is specially designed for students because it allows you to jointly transport your Mac, iPad and all the necessary cables . It includes different spaces dedicated to chargers, mice, storage devices … In this way we will not have to go looking for cables around the corners because we can carry everything around thanks to this briefcase.
Headphones
On many occasions we find ourselves in the position of having to study and not being able to concentrate because there is noise around us. On these occasions, it is most recommended to have noise canceling headphones that allow us to isolate ourselves in addition to being able to listen to a video or audio without anyone else knowing.
AirPods Pro
Without a doubt one of the best headphones that will allow us to isolate ourselves from the world is the AirPods Pro. Thanks to its noise cancellation we can be studying without being disturbed by noise. The method of linking to MacBook or iMac is incredibly good. Autonomy at first will not be a problem since it will hold us all day, and thanks to its small size they can be transported very easily.
Sony WH1000XM3
If you want better noise cancellation, these headband headphones are what you are looking for. They have an active noise cancellation that will make all the noise disappear so you can focus. The only problem is that they have a larger size, being an inconvenience when transporting them in a backpack or in the briefcase next to the Mac.
USB hub
We can not fool ourselves, on Mac we miss having more USB and HDMI connections. Right now connectivity through USB-C is not completely standardized and we still have to weigh using external storage devices through USB-A. In these situations we must get a USB-C hub for our MacBook.
CHOETECH hub
This adapter is ‘fused’ with the MacBook connected to its two USB-C ports. By connecting it, seven different ports will open: an HDMI port, 2 USB-A ports, a card reader and 2 USB-C ports. In this way we can work in a much more comfortable way with our MacBook. The HDMI output will allow us to use external monitors or connect the Mac to a projector or television to make a presentation.
AYCLIF hub
Unlike the previous hub, this one is not ‘glued’ to the MacBook. It allows us to have a greater number of connections, specifically eight . These include 3 USB-A, a USB-C port, an HDMI port, a card reader and a port for the network cable. As in the previous case, the HDMI output allows us to retransmit in 4K on any compatible external equipment.
