Well, here I've come up with a list of Mac Accessories that I think are both essential and excellent value for your Mac, along with small overviews to let you know why I choose them and some tips and advice on what other things you might need according to my expereince.

Just one thing before we start: The range of accessories you can get for your Mac is HUGE, so here we only present what we consider the "main" or most important categories.

Protection: Your new Mac is here to stay, or at least that's what we all want, but to make sure it does, the first on your list of must-have stuff needs to be something that can protect it from it's environment. If you just got a Macbook or Macbook Pro then a case or a sleeve are totally mandatory for your road partner. But which one? Or why not a bag instead? And which one of all the Cases, Bags and Sleeves are the best for the job and won't cost you too much? Well, just click the links above to check the available options.

Skins: This one is more a matter of personal taste than a must-have, but we check some options all the same. Just remember that skins can not only give your new Mac that *personal* look but are also a great way to protect it.

Input: This one might seem obvious. Why do I need a Keyboard or a Mouse if my Apple Desktop or Apple Laptop come with everything I need? Well that is true, but it is also true that what can be perfect to someone, will not be so for someone else, for example, I love to use my MacBook on the go as it is, but the moment I get back home and ready for some work, I just can't do it without my wireless Mighty Mouse, it just feels more comfortable and is much faster for those long lasting working sessions. So here I go through a couple of options you have when it comes to choosing any keyboard or mouse other than the ones your Mac came with.

Backup / Hard Drives: This is a must, of all the Mac Accessories you can get, this one could easily be the most important, so if you don't have one and have been thinking about getting one soon, stop thinking, you NEED THIS. So go ahead and check out the best options you've got right away.
