Accessories ahoy!
You may have just gotten a new smartphone or laptop, but do you know how to enhance the experience of using a state of the art gadget?
Shopping for accessories can be tricky in the sense that not all accessories are essential. You need to understand that not all accessories will match your usage so you might just be pouring money down the drain on useless accessories.
The laptop accessories listed in this article have been chosen based on popular usage, price and performance.
EXTERNAL STORAGE
In this day and age, storage is slowly becoming a precious resource, and this goes double for laptops, which comes with one hard drive and no space to add more should you run out. This is where external hard drives come in. Connected through USB, this gives you an easy way to store content without any hassle.

Buffer: 8MB, Interface: USB 2.0/3.0
Transcend J25H3B 1TB (Tk.5700)
This edition features shock resistance that meets the demands of U.S. Military Drop Test standards, so rest assured it'll survive yours. Couple that to its eye catching design, 1TB space, and the fact that this is USB 3.0, means this is a no-brainer choice for anyone.

USB Hub
Depending upon who you ask, this is a godsend accessory for laptop users as laptops ship with a measly number of USB ports, and this is where a USB HUB comes in. It expands 1 USB port into 4 or more depending on the model you buy.
Havit H15 (Tk.500)
This model sports four ports which means it'll expand your one USB out into 4, meaning you can connect more devices than before.
Belkin 7 Port Hub With Cable Management (Tk.2400)
This model sports 7 ports which mean it'll expand your one USB out into 7.
EXTERNAL SPEAKERS
All laptops come with standard issue speakers which are barely audible, so most users have to resort to headphones or dialing the volume bar up to max levels to get any sort of squeak audible. External speakers solve this problem as they sport vastly superior speakers than the stock options.
Microlab B-51 USB(Tk.1000)
With a well-balanced design and a capable output of 4 Watts, this'll blow away any stock laptops with its dual speaker setup.
Logitech Z205 USB (Tk.2200)
The pricier option, but Logitech fans, this is a match made in heaven.
