About computer accessories
Computer accessories make a computer easier and more comfortable to use. Docking stations and USB-C hubs add ports, displays and network connections to laptops with only a few sockets. Webcams, microphones and lights improve video calls. Laptop stands and monitor arms raise screens to a more comfortable height, while cable trays, desk mats and organizers tidy a workspace. Bags, sleeves and hard cases protect laptops on the move.
Cables and adapters are where compatibility matters most. USB-C cables look alike but differ in charging power, data speed and whether they carry video, so check the rating. Docks may support one, two or more external displays depending on the laptop's ports and operating system. Chargers and power banks need to supply the right wattage and connector for the device, and travel adapters need to suit the countries you visit.
Independent makers add a personal touch to this category, with handmade leather sleeves, wooden laptop stands and monitor risers, custom cables and desk accessories in unusual materials. When buying handmade items, check dimensions against your device and desk, read the materials description and ask about lead times for made-to-order pieces.
Choosing computer accessories
- Check that docks and hubs support your laptop's port type and the number of external displays you need.
- Read cable ratings for charging power, data speed and video support — many cables look identical but behave differently.
- Match chargers and power banks to your device's wattage and connector, and buy from sellers who describe safety certifications.
- Measure your laptop before choosing a sleeve, bag or stand, rather than relying on screen size alone.
- For handmade items, read the materials, finish and lead time, and message the maker about custom sizes.
Questions about computer accessories
What is the difference between a USB-C hub and a docking station?
Hubs are usually small, bus-powered and add a few ports. Docking stations typically have their own power supply, charge the laptop, and support more displays and ports, making them better for a permanent desk setup.
Why doesn't my second monitor work through my dock?
Multiple displays depend on your laptop's ports, graphics and operating system as well as the dock. Some laptops support only one external display over a single cable. Check both the dock's and the laptop's specifications.
Are all USB-C cables the same?
No. They vary in maximum charging power, data speed and video support. Look for the rating in the listing, and choose a cable that matches what you need, such as charging a laptop or connecting a monitor.
What should I look for in a laptop stand?
Look for a height that brings the screen near eye level, stability when typing, ventilation, and a fit for your laptop's size and weight. Pair it with a separate keyboard and mouse for comfortable long sessions.
