If you’ve purchased or are considering buying Apple’s new M2-powered MacBook Pro—which comes with even more processing power and longer battery life than the last generation’s M1 model—you’ll definitely want to pick up a few extra accessories to get the most out of your laptop.
Whether you need a laptop stand for an ergonomic setup while working from home, an external solid-state drive to augment your storage space in the field, or a comfortable keyboard and mouse, we’ve scoured the Internet for some of the top deals on Mac accessories. Our curated picks on some of the top discounted Mac accessories will save you money, bring a better ergonomic experience, and deliver added capabilities to Apple’s already excellent notebook. And even if you’re an iPad user or a fan of Windows or Linux, you can use many of these accessories as well.
Laptop stands

Whether you need a durable aluminum-clad riser to elevate your MacBook Pro’s display to a more ergonomic viewing angle or you want a stand to pair with an existing desk monitor, using a laptop stand will keep your desk tidy and keep you comfortable as you work .
External solid-state drives
An external solid-state drive is a sound investment for any MacBook Pro owner. It costs an arm and a leg to configure an Apple laptop with large amounts of storage from its factory, and Apple doesn’t let you upgrade the built-in SSD on your MacBook Pro. Using an external drive lets you grow your local storage affordably, and you’ll also have a convenient solution for backing up important files, documents, and photos.
Wireless keyboards and mice

If you’re working at a desk, consider using an external keyboard and mouse rather than the one built into your laptop. For starters, you’ll get a more comfortable, ergonomic typing experience. And depending on which notebook you’re upgrading from, an external keyboard can give you a different type of typing experience, with deeper key travel, clickier or quieter key presses, and even RGB-backlit keys.
Laptop sleeves
A laptop sleeve will help keep your new MacBook Pro pristine while you’re out and about.
USB-C hubs
Although recent MacBook Pro models come with more ports, including an HDMI port and the return of the beloved MagSafe charging port, adding a USB-C hub will give you even more flexibility. Depending on the model you select, you can gain access to a wired Ethernet port and additional USB-A ports for legacy accessories.
