Ask HN: Accessories for MacBook Pro?

from the ask-hn dept.

I would like to buy a gift for a friend who has a MacBook Pro. What are some great accessories? (Cases, external hard drives, stickers, addons, etc?) I am looking for something unique and creative.

Many thanks for your suggestions!

The bluetooth keyboard

and bluetooth trackpad

are great for macbook pro. The external keyboard has same layout as the laptop keyboard and trackpad is obviously the same (only bigger). This makes sure that you never feel the switch when you work at your desk or in a coffee shop. Here is my setup

I haven't tried this so I can't give you a review of how well it works, but I'm planning to buy one myself:

Always thought the PowerMate was kind of cool, but didn't really have a need for it:
