Accessorizing Your Laptop
One thing that's kept the
computer industry alive for years and years is that the
computer purchase never stops with the computer itself.
First comes software. Then follows more hardware and even
more hardware. Peripherals! Gizmos! Gadgets! And then you
can get fun accessories like mouse pads and tchotchkes to
sit atop the monitor. The computer is endlessly expandable.
Check out these fun or must-have items to expand your laptop
universe:
Laptop bag or travel case: Buy yourself and your
laptop a handsome laptop bag.
Spare battery: Nothing cries "freedom!" to the laptop
road warrior more than an extra battery. Having a bonus
battery doubles the time that you can compute without being
tethered to an AC wall socket. Some laptops even let you hot
swap from one battery to another while the laptop is still
running, meaning that the total time you can use your
battery greatly exceeds your capacity to do work. Make sure
that the spare battery is approved for your laptop, either
coming directly from the manufacturer or from a reliable
source that guarantees compatibility. Using the wrong
battery in your laptop can meet with disastrous results.
