In addition to that, we will dedicate a section to establish the main differences between the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro , so read on to find out everything.

What accessories does a MacBook Air & Pro include?

As you already know, Apple MacBooks are excellent laptops to take everywhere and use them in various professional and academic tasks. However, like everything in life, these products can improve considerably in terms of capacity, performance and user comfort. To do this, the company has made sure to update its models every year. In addition, Apple has also chosen to offer accessories that serve this same purpose. So, regardless of the MacBook model you have, you can get accessories such as protectors, covers, adapters, headphones, stands, keyboards, monitors , among others.

7 MacBook accessories that will enhance your experience

That being said, this time we will tell you more about the 7 MacBook accessories just mentioned, as we are sure that if you buy them, they will greatly improve your experience with a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. Without further ado, let's begin.

protectors

First of all, there are the different models of MacBook protectors. As their name suggests, these accessories are intended to cover and protect the main body of the equipment . However, case designers have also taken it upon themselves to offer covers in different colors and styles to give the MacBook Air & Pro a more attractive and personal touch. Also, some models such as the Hardshell Case for MacBook Air have small details like rubber feet that prevent your equipment from moving while you're using it. Thus, we consider that protectors are an essential accessory if you want to prevent your laptop from being permanently damaged by a fall or impact. Of course, keep in mind that these do not guarantee that the equipment will not be damaged if it takes much more damage.

adapters

One of the most sought after and useful accessories for MacBook are adapters. In case you don't know, both the Air and Pro models have USB-C Thunderbolt 3 ports, in which you can't connect all kinds of devices. What these adapters do precisely is remove this limitation by plugging into MacBook ports at one end, but having HDMI, Ethernet, or USB ports at the other. In this way, you can connect your MacBook to televisions, video-beams, pen drives, etc. Greatly expanding the functions of it. Of course, if you buy an accessory of this type, make sure it is a model with the specifications you need. You can buy models that have multiple options, yes, but the latter are more expensive than the simple ones, so keep this in mind.

external keyboards

It may seem strange to add an external keyboard to your MacBook if in fact the computer already has one. The reason for this is really simple. External keyboards offered by Apple and other stores often feature more elaborate designs than the originals. For example, you can find numeric keyboards , which have greater stability by having a scissor mechanism under each key, or simply wider keyboards . Be that as it may, these accessories, although they are not as demanded a product as the previous two, allow you to further customize the MacBook Air & Pro.

Headphones

Another of the accessories most sought after by people are undoubtedly headphones. This is because they allow you to listen to the sound generated by your MacBook more privately and without disturbing those around you . If you are a student who frequents the library or you have to work in public spaces surrounded by people, then you must necessarily invest in headphones. Having said that, a suggestion that we want to give you is that you do not limit yourself to buying the typical wired headphones of a lifetime, no. Currently, you can find wireless headphones in various stores that easily connect to your MacBook. Among these products we recommend the well-known Airpods from Apple itself and the Powerbeats Pro.

supports

The fifth type of accessory that we assure you will improve your experience with your MacBook are stands. Although its function may not seem like much, a good support can greatly improve your posture while you are using the equipment . In addition to this, by raising your MacBook Air or MacBook Pro a few inches, you will be able to see the screen much better , thus preventing your eyes from getting tired faster. These two details, as simple as they may seem, are greatly appreciated once you experience them (it's the same thing that happens with the external keyboard). Therefore, if you experience any back discomfort or feel your eyes getting tired very quickly when you are with your MacBook, we are not lying when we tell you that a support can be the solution you need.

monitors and hubs

Speaking of improving your viewing experience, keep in mind that you can get MacBook Air and Pro compatible monitors if you want to see things on a larger, higher resolution screen. This is ideal if you want to watch series or movies from your device. One model that we highly recommend is the Dell UltraSharp 24 USB-C monitor . This monitor has about 23.8 inches and a thin panel that prevents it from taking up much space. This product itself is meant to be used at work, but you can put it to other uses as well. Hub devices, on the other hand, can allow you to connect your MacBook to a display with an HDMI port, but they also have other features like adding USB Type-C or A ports, Ethernet, headphone and microphone, etc. In short, they give you a little bit of everything. So, if this type of MacBook accessory catches your attention, another model that we suggest you buy is the USB-C Plug-in Base, which has all the ports that we have mentioned, but at the same time provides additional support to your equipment and an additional battery charge.

covers

Finally, we have the different cases for MacBook Air & Pro that you can get both in Apple and in other stores. Like the protectors, the covers are products that can serve both to protect and give an aesthetic improvement to your laptop. For example, some cases like the Case Logic Laptop have foam padding inside to absorb any impact your MacBook may receive. However, this same product is available in various colors for buyers to choose their preferred model. And it is that the latter is the strong point of the covers. Beyond the protection that they can provide to MacBooks, what is sought is to make an extremely attractive accessory that allows you to carry your computer everywhere with comfort and style. Our recommendation regarding the cases is that you simply choose the one that you like the most and that contributes to the protection of your MacBook. So, we hope that you are encouraged to give one of the 7 accessories for MacBook Air & Pro that we are talking about a try.

Differences between MacBook Air and MacBook Pro

Before closing with this section, you may be interested in knowing the differences between the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro. Both models have received several improvements and updates since their launch dates, but they still have certain similarities and differences. So, below, we'll compare these MacBooks in terms of design, performance, memory, portability, and battery. We warn you that we can get a little technical, so it is important that you pay close attention. Ready? Let us begin.

Design

Design-wise, the MacBooks look nearly identical , both having an aluminum finish and coming in gray and silver models (although the Air is available in gold as well). In addition, they also include a Retina Display screen with a resolution of 2,560 x 1,600. Following the above, other similarities that we can find in both models are in keyboard type issues; trackpad, USB-C Thunderbolt 3 ports, 720p webcams, stereo speakers, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. However, the models begin to differ from each other in screen issues, since the Air screen is only capable of reaching 389 nits , while that of the MacBook Pro exceeds it with 500 nits . It is for this reason that the Pro is recommended for photographers and graphic designers. Also, while both have USB-C Thunderbolt 3 ports , the Air only has 2 on its left side , while the Pro has 2 on each side . One last difference that we can find around the design is that the Pro has an integrated Touch Bar , an element that was not added in the Air.

Performance and memory

When it comes to performance, you're going to be surprised by what we're going to tell you now: Even though the high-end MacBook Air has a 10th-generation Intel Core i5 processor and the Pro has the same 8th-generation processor, the latter has better performance. performance than the first. The latter is because the Air's performance is severely limited by its chips, which have a low power consumption of 9 watts . On the other hand, the processor of the Pro, even though it is older, does not present these types of limitations, thus conserving its power. However, when comparing the memory of both machines, the 2020 version of the MacBook Air uses LPDDR4X memory with a clock speed of 3,733MHz , which considerably exceeds that used in the Pro, an LPDDR3 with a clock speed of 2,133MHz . Of course, in both cases you can opt for its high-end and maximum performance versions, but for this you would have to pay a much higher amount than its more standard versions.

Portability and battery life

Now to close with the differences between the Air and the MacBook Pro, we will talk about the portability and battery life of each. As for portability, although it has slightly different measurements, they are difficult to perceive. That's because the Pro is 0.59 inches thick and 11.97 inches wide. For its part, the Air has a thickness of 0.16 to 0.63 inches and a width of 11.97 inches; that is, the same width as the Pro. Finally, in terms of battery, the MacBook Air is slightly better than the Pro, lasting 9 hours and 30 minutes with minimum demand, while lasting 3 hours when demanding it to the maximum . Also, if you make a more specific comparison in terms of web browsing, video playback, minimum and maximum requirement, the Air is still the best option. However, according to their manufacturers' own statements, the Pro has about 11 hours of web browsing and video playback.
