My favorite MacBook accessories are on sale for Black Friday — 7 must-haves I recommend
These accessories will enhance your MacBook experience
Apple's MacBooks are some of the best laptops right out of the box because of their premium build quality and power efficiency. Apple laptops like the MacBook Air M2, MacBook Air 15-inch, the new M3-powered MacBook Pro 14-inch and the powerful MacBook Pro 16-inch are perfect for both work and play.
As brilliant as these machines are, you can get even more out of them with the right accessories. Thankfully, Black Friday deals can help you save big on these items.

Not only are most of the items I wrote about then now on sale again, but there are also a few others I want to recommend. After all, if you’re already saving money, why not grab an extra accessory or two?
