MacBook Air / iPad Pro M1 Work from Home Accessories
Last year was probably the beginning of the work from home era. Every person that works from home needs to ease up what they are doing so they can be more effective and efficient. So, what we are going to do today is to help you with listing down some of the most useful accessories that can be used when working from home (or even when traveling).
Bluetooth Mouse
A Bluetooth mouse is the first thing you should buy if you are using a laptop for your studies or your business works. You do not want to have a mouse with some fancy LEDs and lots of buttons for those purposes. All you need is a nice and comfortable mouse that fits in your hand perfectly and does its job neatly. This Microsoft Ergonomic might be the best solution for you. The design is quite simple thus making this mouse very comfortable. There are 3 customizable buttons and a thumb rest. Since this is a Bluetooth mouse, this is powered by two AAA batteries and you CANNOT charge this using a cable, you will just have to replace the batteries. The build quality is really great, maybe because it is a Microsoft product. The mouse wheel is made from Aluminum and that will feel bit different for you but in a good way.
This mouse is available in four different colors, but if you are going to choose the White version you must know that it will get dirty very easily. Microsoft made this only for simple, day to day works and obviously not for heavy duties like gaming. You should keep that on your mind before buying this.
Compact Keyboard
Just like their Bluetooth Mouse, Microsoft Compact keyboard comes in two colors: Matte Black and Glacier White. It is really simple, comfortable and thin like all the Bluetooth keyboards should be. This is obviously a battery powered keyboard, but you cannot charge this from time to time, instead you will get a 36 months battery power (about 3 years max). This can be paired with 3 different devices at once and you can quickly switch between those without a delay. You must be aware of the sleep technique used in this if you are about to buy this. 10 minutes of inactivity will put the keyboard on sleep as a battery saving method. So, you need to press a key to wake up the keyboard and it will take 2 or 3 seconds. As the name clearly says it is a compact keyboard, just like an in-built laptop keyboard so do not expect anything else rather than a small keyboard. It is what it is.
MOFT X Tablet Stand
Most of the times you will not be limited to one place when working from home. You may be in the kitchen, garden or even in bed while you are doing something. You need to stabilize your device in order to interact with it properly. Other than holding it from the hand, using a Tablet Stand is the best solution to keep your iPad Pro steady.
The process is simple, there is a thin piece of removable adhesive you should attach to the back of the iPad. Then whenever you want you can fit your iPad with the Tablet Stand. This adhesive attachment will not leave any signs even after removing. You can take on and off this adhesive attachment about 40–50 times before the adhesive quality begins to fade away. When attached it does not make any difference, you can just use your iPad or any other tablet (with the suitable screen size) in the most normal way you did before.
The stand is made from like hardened yet kind of soft leather type. It is foldable and you just have to pop out those folds in order to set up the stand. You can adjust this stand for 6 different viewing angles. It will not accidentally detach from the iPad. Stand can be used in both horizontal and vertical ways and it is considerably light weighted but sturdy, will definitely be a good addition to your accessory collection.
MOFT Z Invisible Thin Sit-Stand Desk
Again, another MOFT product. This is for the people who needs to lift their Laptop when working. Not only a laptop but you can even use your iPad Pro with this if you have the Magic Keyboard. If you want me to be more thorough about this, Sit-Stand Desk is an equipment that can be used to elevate your laptop when you are sitting near it, so you don’t have to lean down or sit on the chair to do your work. Not only in the chair, but this is also even useful when you are sitting down in the floor, as I said before you do not have to lean down if you are using this.
This looks like a very thing piece of plastic when contracted and it is very easy to store it in a bag or even in a bookshelf. You can set this up to fit different viewing angles like 25°, 35°, 45° and 60°. This works not only as a laptop, tablet elevator but as a second display elevator too. Even though this is made specially for Travelers (MOFT = Mobile Office for Travelers), this is a great product for people who are doing their works at home.
BOPAI Super Slim Laptop Backpack (15-inch)
This Backpack is not essentially a work from home accessory, but you may need a one like this when you are moving somewhere else with all of your other accessories. This includes a flannel compartment to keep your laptop or your tablet safe and it has double zippers for extra safety. Laptops with 15- or 15.6-inch displays are the most compatible ones with this, and this is a no go for gaming laptops. There is total 6 pockets included in this and one is bit hidden just to keep your wallet and your phone more secured. The overall look is very professional and simple.
Additionally, this bag is very strong and waterproof. By waterproof it doesn’t mean that you can use this bag underwater (lol) but this will protect everything inside from small water spills, lite rains and such things.
SAMSUNG T7 Portable SSD 1TB
Having a portable storage device to back up your most important files and to extend your main storage is a quite wise decision. I do not think you do not need an ultra-fast SSD to do those sharing and storing stuff. The 1GBps speed this offers will be quite satisfactory for you (you must have a USB 3.2 Gen2 port to experience the maximum speed). All the necessary cables will be included with the SSD and it comes in three colors: Red, Gray and Blue.
If you think T7 version feels like bit much you can always go for the T5 version. It looks same as this one but the speed is only 540MBps max.
