What are the must have accessories for Macbook Pro?

Question

macbook

In light of the purchase of the new Pro M1, in addition to standard chargers / hubs / monitors, is it worth paying attention to various protective cases, bumpers, covers, etc. Does the keyboard scratch the screen over time? What do you recommend to buy?

I am also interested in choosing a backpack for it, the main criterion is water resistance and structural rigidity.

Answer 1

Does the keyboard scratch the screen over time?

Not critical. But some people use films, they say it's convenient. I read an article about two months ago.
The little son left a scratch on his wife's poppy - it was a pity.
, is it worth paying attention to various protective cases
- depending on how you use it, if you use it at home, then there is no point. But keep in mind that gray is more prone to scratches. For 8 years of using poppies, I only glued stickers on poppies.
Backpack -
take any urban one you like, with a normal compartment for a laptop.
And more - for long trips. Focus on special for laptops - it makes no sense.
From devices - I would order a bunch of USB-C -> USB A adapters from Alik, and throw them into the closet, while devices without type-c still come across.

Answer 2

Once in my life I bought a plastic case, for the first macbook) and it pretty much scratched the macbook, there were hard polished marks from this case, they can’t be removed later.
The maximum that I would recommend is felt-leather envelopes, and it makes sense only if you don’t have a special compartment for a laptop in your backpack, and if you don’t plan to carry it with you, then there’s no point in any covers at all.
Keyboard and screen, a very controversial issue. Since it all depends on the use. One has a MacBook at home, the second carries it in a backpack somewhere in Mauritania, where, in addition to the MacBook, a bunch of things are forcibly stuffed in the backpack, from this, naturally, pressure and friction of the keyboard from the screen occur on the cover of the MacBook. Here is the last option that definitely kills the screen, verified by personal experience. I could not glue the films without dust particles, a very large area ... but I put very thin microfiber napkins, cut out under the screen.
But here's the latest macbook 16 "there, even at home, standing on the table - some keys are reprinted on the screen, especially the space bar ... But there are just greasy traces, until the actiblix is ​​in place for half a year.
UPD. Regarding the backpack and the rigidity of the design, there is no normal rigidity that protects the macbook from other things in the backpack, if there are a lot of them, nothing will save ... If the issue of external protection, then these are backpacks for bikers OGIO - No Drag Mach 1 (as an example from inexpensive) to be shockproof, but in principle the choice is huge from water, just take a non-name China, I bought both bobi and victorionix, and in the end all this is lying around and dragging xiaomi business as it is the lightest and most convenient, for a macbook a separate section on a castle in which there is even a lightning with water protection. I don’t know if they are still being sold, I got it as a gift, I would never buy one for myself, but this is how it happened)
