Really Useful MacBook Accessories in 2024!

❤❤❤

I've just bought my first Mac and have heard I will need stuff I'm not expecting. I'm Gen-X and not very computer literate or savvy.

Let's talk about the elephant in the room? WTF DO I NEED A EXTERNAL WEBCAN IN A MACKBOOK PRO? Its like paying to downgrade it. That's a hilarious sponsored video

The best accessory to have is a chequing account with $200 million in it, to actually afford anything Apple 🍎

Correction, the 4TB SSD can be equipped to an M3 Pro machine

If you are still using USB A, you’re not a true technologist.

It’s the constant “eject drive” before moving the laptop that kills me with external drives. That internal storage is mucho expensive, but gains in convenience.

Rarelly Useful MacBook Accessories in 2024!

Ah! The poverty dongle!

In a way Apple makes us all look bad. If you have an external SSD that completely ruins the sleekness of the Mac, you look like you are broke, because you bought a computer you can't afford. If you don't have the external SSD you look like a rich sucker, that loves to be ripped off.

It's just not a good look. Apple, you need to fix your storage prices!

This video serves 0 value to me. It’s pretty much sponsored products or not actually useful.

Very disappointed.

Pro tip for people on the go:
You don't need a battery pack, just keep your macbook charged, and use it as a power bank to charge other devices on the go.

I still own my 13.6 inch MacBook Air M2 and it works. I’m gonna actually get a Type C cable for my iPhone to connect to my MacBook so I can transfer some of my files over to the computer. Gonna be sticking with it for a few years. Thx for the suggestion anyway Max Tech

At least half these items are from previous sponsors.....how 'Actually Useful' the products are, I do not know. What I do know is I couldn't trust any 'review' of a product owned by a company that directly paid the reviewer to advertise the product.....

Guys I have to tell you, I like these videos a lot more than the dedicated sponsored videos. I think this is the way to go for sure. If you want to show off a sponsored product, it’s super easy to do in a video like this, and it gives more purpose to the sponsored product itself because many people are actually hunting around looking for MacBook accessories as your video comes out. Just wanted to give you my honest feedback.
Great video and thank you!

Hope one day you'll test bags/backpacks for MacBooks. Or at least feature a sponsor.

Someone also has the problem that the external monitor get flickering or vertical stripes while attached on a macbook with M chip? Testing tons of usb-c hubs from Amazon right now but this happens to all of them. Even bought a new cable. On macbooks with an intel chip this never ever happened nor on any windows laptop.

Can we see a comparison between m3 max and rtx4090

Bro. If you want storage you can get external SSD for half that price with good transfer speeds. Samsung sells them for closer to $80 1TB.

I have a 30 watt Anker GAN and a 65 watt Anker GAN and I just take the one that I think that I'll need for my M1 Pro MacBook Pro. The 30 watt charges it very slowly while the 65 charges it more quickly. They are both quite small and I prefer this approach to the Apple charger. I haven't actually had a case where I need the 140 watt charger and I prefer to slow charge anyways as the laptop doesn't get as warm as with fast charging. I would tend to use the 65 when I need to charge additional devices off the MacBook Pro. It would be nice to have an additional USB-A because my watch uses USBA charging ports and I have to carry a dongle. I have a Swissgear thin bag which I carry my dongles and cables. I find that a bag really helps to avoid cable tangles. I got 1 TB of storage so I seldom need additional storage though I have external SSDs which I can bring if needed. The overall challenge is to keep things small and light and I have to figure that out for every trip. How long do I need to go on battery? Do I need to provide cables for others or maybe loan one in a pinch? The main thing is that I can completely charge my MBP overnight with even a 30 watt charger in a hotel room so I always try to go minimalist.

So the tadpole just cover the shit out of the screen 😂😂?

this video came at a great time! I just bought a m2 MacBook Air (8core 16/512) and I love it. It does everything I need to do (even plays wow good). The docking station is what ill need, I bought one from Walmart and its okay for now.

Me watching this video on my intel MacBook

I own a 16-inch Macbook Pro with the M1-Pro chip & 1TB SSD. I bought it brand new & have been enjoying it for over 1.5 years now. Apple silicon Macs are awesome.
