What Should You Buy First?

Start with the accessory that solves a problem you already have. If ports are the issue, begin with a USB-C hub. If you regularly work away from a desk, a compact charger, mouse, and laptop stand may make the biggest difference. If you frequently manage large files, prioritize portable storage before adding smaller convenience accessories.

You do not need every accessory. A good mobile setup should stay simple enough that you will actually carry and use it.
