Imagine that you literally just bought a brand new and shiny MacBook Pro. No matter what he trinadtsatidyuymovy or seventeen, it's still cool. You open the package and feel very special flavor of the new technology Apple, it remains only to get the power supply side with a fork and start enjoying your new beautiful laptop. Actually, I'm not just once or twice performs the same manipulation that you have accumulated a lot of experience about the extra stuff for the "Macs", you want to share it. Lest you encountered various pitfalls and were happy to use.

It is unlikely that you buy your laptop only to ensure that it was the home or office. Given that Apple's laptops are small, and it concerns the models with either the diagonal (when compared with counterparts from the world of Windows), then you certainly will carry or wear their "Poppy" with her. The choice of bags - a serious matter, it is necessary that it be sturdy, reliable, convenient and, most importantly, fit design. Manufacturers of accessories that point into account, and specifically for the MacBook Pro comes the mass of bags and covers, from simple fabric carrying cases and portfolios ending with a special compartment for peripherals.
By and large, if you have a MBP 13, then you can just stay in and just "sink» (sleeve, for example, «Incase 13" Neoprene Sleeve for MacBook Pro 13 ") and carry a laptop in an ordinary bag, but that's for a model with wide screen is to buy a special accessory. Like a year ago, I still use the bag Be.ez LeVertigo 15, however was looking for, so anything better and I found none. The only thing that it is inconvenient - no more knobs, so as not to wear it constantly on his shoulder. The rest only positive impressions. You can read the article on our website about this series of bags, is an internal compartment for laptop accessories, pockets for your player and phone, all as it should. Moreover, you can buy a bag for the MBP 15, and MBP 17, slightly different dimensions, everything else is identical. There are new colors are black on the outside and yellow inside, an interesting mix (though we have to sell these bags I have not seen). The cost of this bag is about three and a half thousand rubles - not so much. Again, practical and thought-bags "poppy" I personally have not seen it.
Separate line item additions are capable of becoming a second skin for your laptop. In retail stores only what can not be found. But let's think logically. For example, if you buy a cover from Vaja Cases for the MacBook Air for three hundred euros, in essence, you buy the new look of your device - it seemed to be "poured" quality leather is very nice (saw it myself). But now all these stickers on the lid or plastic multi-colored body ... In my opinion, the company's laptops do not need the extra decorations. The same can be said about the plastic protection - of course, it will protect against scratches, but if dropped from low altitude in the presence of her special needs do not. In general, do not spend money for nothing. If you want a really expensive and nice carrying case, then pay attention to various exotic things. For example, the production company Hard Graft, that's where the feast for the eyes - a combination of military cloth and aluminum, beautifully. And expensive - shopping for a laptop will cost slightly more than three hundred euros, but it would be really interesting case.The same can be said about the "plum", plus you can pick up cases for portable devices in the same style. Well done guys, as I told them more than once reported in the correspondence.
We can do without the powerful
No matter how good touchpads have new MacBook Pro, is still a mouse in the economy is needed. Especially the owners of MBP 15 and MBP 17. Especially if you are not going to just sit in the network or in "ICQ", but also to engage in all sorts of more serious things. If you have already harvested answer like "we have to take the Mighty Mouse», then I do not agree with you. The fact that he at one time lived with a set of gadgets, and most sore spot is just a corporate wireless arm. First of all, terribly enrages small ball - during the jet wheels, it looks like an anachronism. Imagine that you need to quickly scroll down the site or what. How long will this process with the Mighty Mouse? Maybe not so long, but very dreary. Second, in games, too, the mouse has shown himself not with the best hand, it is inconvenient (very uncomfortable). Third, when the mouse is understood that I want to sell it, she flatly refused to connect to the MBP, but "love" laptop with Windows. In the end, she still was sold. What I want to advise you? I can advise you, in principle, any mouse. He himself will continue to enjoy and love the Logitech Nano, and a budget option - Logitech V550. At last there is a problem with the coating, it is easily scratched. But overall it is a very good option for everyday use - it has a little adapter, like the Nano, the same fast dial, virtually the same form. A very good thing, I recommend.
Bi kul
MBP for 13 and not particularly powerful variant MBP 15 notebook cooler is simply not needed, but that's for MBP 17 best thing to have such a home, especially if you're not only at the table, but also love to lie on the bed or go sit in a chair on the balcony ( or somewhere else). Oh, I can tell a lot about the notebook cooler, there are two important points. First, never buy a cooler on the network, without considering it in a store or somewhere else. It is important that the size is right for your laptop, to avoid sharp edges (and sometimes is). In the case of "poppies" is important and that the USB-cable must be of normal length, so that you can endure it to the left side (it was there, and located at the USB MBP). I hope you do not have to like me with terrible back matyugami technique called "Yes, it fits your laptop, take it!" Back to the store. Second, keep in mind: no matter how much a notebook cooler fan. No matter what their power. It is important that the stand was easy to use and ensures the normal functioning of the air under the bottom of your helper.
So, I really love all the stand, which makes the firm Belkin, and you can safely recommend any of them. Pillow CushDesk perfect, beautiful, she is not cool, just makes the device work fine on my knees. Stand Belkin Laptop Cooling Pad is great for "trinashek" though for "barley-break" is also nice. Look, it will not dig into your belly or knees, no. And finally, the most hitrovanskaya thing - Belkin CushTop. See what it cool? Inverted - can be put MBP 17. Once again I turned - you can put MBP 13. There are different color to any interior. Well done the people who invented all this facilities. Yes, and such additions are inexpensive, each of these has a price tag stands at more than two thousand. Small amount of money for comfort.
Ext. Memory
In a medium "makovodov" with the experience common to use external hard drives from LaCie - they are beautiful, reliable, no reproach. Plus, the design approach that has long been sold in retail stores and Apple stuff. If you need additional support, then I recommend any model, provided, of course, no question when you look at the price tag. I also recently updated its collection of fashionable flash drives, there were until recently only models from Sony, but now there is a beautiful piece of LaCie, a model iamaKey, metal key to four gigabytes. Costs a little more than a thousand rubles, which is in the "hole", you have to turn (just kidding). I know several people who sought such "stick" - the guys are already on sale in Moscow, search and ye shall find.
Little fetish
The owner of "Poppy" must not forget that in the range of your favorite company has all sorts of fetishes, they can make use of the laptop even more enjoyable and effective. For example, it is Apple Remote, a useful thing for the owners of MBP 15 and 17, if they love to watch movies and listen to their favorite notebooks. Option to obtain a remote for free - buy a console for the TV Apple TV (remote control included). True, in our latitude to use it for primary use, ie to view rented movies in iTunes, does not seem readily available. Accordingly, we will not prevaricate, many owners of Apple TV hack it in different ways, in order to achieve the desired functionality - added formats and so on. In general, this is a world in which you can immerse yourself. Personally, I use Apple TV to play music through a TV connected to a small music system. Too, as they say, an option.
Another fetish - Apple Time Capsule, we have this stuff is not officially for sale, but you can buy it without a problem, not yet extinct in Russia luggage transportation. Running this thing, and as an access point, and as a place to store "backups" of your laptop (and not only). You need it or not - I can not say, though I have this thing there, but "raskushat" it has not happened. We can say that the process of learning.
"Wind" - yes
If freshly bought MacBook Pro you have the first, and you still do not understand, fear and so on, it makes sense to use the Boot Camp program and the same place for the first time Windows. At least the same Vista. Honestly: I do not know how much is a licensed version, I presume that over three thousand you can buy. Now, about installing Windows on my MBP was written more than once, this is a very easy process, they will not have to strain your brain. Get you in the end car of the two systems to move from one to another very easily. Well, get used to it and either stay with the "WINDOWS" forever, or forever peresyadete on MacOS.Either way I will work in Vista (soon to "seven") and relax in the "Leopard". Or, conversely, will play in the creation of Mr. Gates, and do business in the offspring of Mr. Jobs. In general, variants are possible.
Acoustic waves
Again, the cliché about the environment "makovodov" where such a practice to use Harman & Cabron, to a transparent and all that. One time I wrote for the publication of a test sound systems, they hardly would have liked to "professionals", "audiophiles" because they were incredibly consumer. That is out of the box were removed speakers and subwoofer, the whole thing connected to the computer and place plays different songs and sounds. Plus games, watching movies. Been tried all sorts of solutions for the computer, and I'm still convinced that no one is better Microlab acoustics for the PC does not. In the sense that a small system, but the sound would take at least for something alive. As I said above, this time instead of acoustics in my Apple TV with a TV and speakers, so that for a point in a single system can not see. But just recently bought for a friend system Microlab Pro 3, a very good thing. If your MBP will live on the table, all as it should, I can safely recommend this accessory. Although, maybe it's already too much.
Can be a long time to invent all sorts of things, but I might end up on this, probably, and the acoustics are already too much. If you have any experience about the use of accessories for the MacBook Pro, easily share them with us in our forums, write letters and so on. Successful use.
