6 Accessories to Make Your Laptop Feel Like New

The TG Blue LED Light Lap Desk with Built in Cushion and Cup Holder ($29) will make sure your laptop won't burn your lap. It also creates a reliable foundation for your device as you use it, so that it won't slip and fall to the floor.

Some HP laptop batteries start to slowly lose their full battery retention after 300 cycles, and Apple models last between 300 and 1,000 power cycles. Don't let yourself get caught without a backup, like the Lenmar Aluminum Unibody Macbook Pro Replacement Battery ($120).

If you're using your laptop for an entire workday, it will likely heat up after a few hours of use. The Belkin Laptop Cooling Pad in Black ($23) with a built-in fan can prevent your processor from getting too hot — which can cause hardware issues.

Using the wrong laptop charger could cause potential operating issues. Make sure you're always using the right charger for your specific model! Never forget it by keeping it properly coiled up with the Incipio Block Bands Cable Management ($10) for on-the-go use.

The number one rule of owning any device: back up and transfer all your files to something like the WD Black Portable Hard Drive: My Passport for Mac ($100). This way, you'll always be ready to smoothly update your system and keep any antivirus software working properly.

Keep your laptop safe from any scratches with a case you actually love. You know, one that comes in your favorite color, doesn't add too much weight, and has the right airflow design like the Speck Snap-On MacBook Pro Laptop Case ($50).
