Best Accessories for a New M1 MacBook Air?

[tardman91]

I pulled the trigger on a new Air. Figured the Touch Bar wasn't worth the extra $300, and other than that the machines are pretty equal, so I upgraded the RAM to 16GB instead. I don't really do anything that necessitate a "pro" machine. I get education pricing so I figured it was a good deal. I'm also a Realtor so I can write it off on my taxes. lol.

So what are the best accessories/cases/dongles, etc. for a new Air? This is my first USB-C device other than my AirPod Pros, so I don't really have any adapters or anything. Thanks in advance!

Samsung T7 external SSD for extremely fast, silent Time Machine backups.

Recommend going for double the internal storage so as to maintain a decent history length.

Caldigit thunderbolt3 dock especially if you’re planning on using it with a monitor or other accessories
