When selecting a hard disk format compatible with both Mac and Windows, exFAT is recommended. However, it's crucial to regularly back up your data, using tools like Mac's Time Machine, as there's a slight risk of file loss.

• exFAT: This format is ideal for cross-platform file sharing, supporting files up to 16EB. Use Disk Utility on your Mac to format drives larger than 32GB as exFAT.

• FAT32: Widely compatible with most USB-equipped devices, but lacks security features and restricts file size to 4GB.

• NTFS: While Macs can read NTFS-formatted drives, they cannot write to them by default. To enable read and write capabilities, consider a third-party solution like Paragon NTFS.

 2. Cleaning Kit:

——————————

Cleaning your MacBook properly is crucial. Use a lint-free microfiber cloth to avoid damaging the screen. Avoid alcohol as it can harm the screen coating. iKlear is a recommended brand, trusted by Apple and NASA, and it won't damage your MacBook's coatings.

Here are some steps you can take to clean a Mac screen:

1. Shut down and unplug
Make sure your Mac is completely shut down and unplugged from its power source and any other devices.
2. Prepare a cloth
Use a soft, lint-free cloth, such as a microfiber cloth. You can also use the cloth that came with your iMac.
3. Dampen the cloth
For most cleaning, dampen the cloth with water only. For tougher smudges, you can use a solution of 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA).
4. Clean the screen
Apply light pressure and wipe the screen from side to side or in small circles, starting from the center and working outward. You can also use the cloth to clean the exterior of your Mac, including the keyboard.
5. Avoid certain cleaners
Don't use cleaners that contain acetone, ammonia, abrasives, hydrogen peroxide, or window cleaners, household cleaners, or aerosol sprays. You should also avoid spraying cleaner directly onto the screen, as it could drip inside and damage the display.

 3. Computer Stand

A folding computer stand is portable and helps reduce neck strain by raising the screen to eye level.

Before purchasing the stand, I spent an afternoon coding with my head down, and my neck felt like it was on the verge of snapping. It was incredibly painful, akin to the soreness you experience after a long drive or a day of intense work.

Since I got the stand, it's been fantastic! My neck hardly ever hurts anymore. 

4. Personalization Accessories

——————————

Stickers, films, and protective cases not only protect but also personalize your MacBook. (We should opt for high-quality stickers to avoid the hassle of residual glue when it's time to replace them.)

The "Nums" touchpad keyboard sticker adds a numeric keypad without needing an extra keyboard.

For those who struggle with entering numbers on laptops due to the lack of a numeric keypad, this product offers a perfect solution.

Simply attach it to your touchpad, and it instantly transforms into a numeric keypad without interfering with touchpad functionality.

There's no need to upgrade your computer or purchase an additional keyboard for this feature. I highly recommend it.

5. Computer Bag

——————————

Protect your MacBook from scratches and dents with a good quality inner bag or computer bag.

6. Charger

A multi-port charger is a practical choice for those who need to charge multiple devices. Mokin offers a reliable 3-port charger that works with both Apple and Android devices.

10. AirPods

——————————

AirPods save time by eliminating the need to untangle headphone cables. Over the lifespan of AirPods, you could save significant time that could be better spent elsewhere.
