The M5 MacBook Air just released, so in this video I’m going over the best accessories to pair with it (affiliate links are down below). I’m keeping this list super practical—stuff that actually makes your day-to-day better, whether you’re a college student, a general consumer, or just someone who wants the Air to stay clean, protected, and usable in more situations. My number one is a good case sleeve, because I’ve used sleeves since I was a kid and they’ve genuinely saved my laptops from drops and bumps in a backpack—my main MacBook in college took a beating and still had zero damage. After that, I recommend a longer charging cable (I’d go at least 10 feet) because outlets are never where you need them—in class, coffee shops, work environments, even your bedroom. I also cover a higher-wattage battery pack so you can top up your MacBook Air and your other gear, plus microfiber cloths (I’m a big microfiber cloth guy) to keep the screen clean. Then there are two “must” items for a lot of people: a USB-C hub, because the MacBook Air doesn’t support many cables and you’ll probably need HDMI, USB-A, or Ethernet at some point, and an external SSD, because Apple storage is notoriously expensive and this is the easiest way to expand later.
