5 tech purchases I should have made sooner

Published by Business Insider on Thu, 18 Jan 2018


The Insider Picks team writes about stuff we think you'll like. Business Insider has affiliate partnerships, so we get a share of the revenue from your purchase.As someone who loves technology, I tend to work it into my life any way I can.That said, there are still some products I put off buying because I thought they were unnecessary.In every case I either had a super specific system in place to avoid buying them or had really convinced myself they weren't worth it.Now I use these products on a regular basis; they save me from unnecessary stress or from wasting time and have become important parts of my workflow.DON'T MISS:20 must-have tech accessories under $20SEE ALSO:10 awesome and weird iPhone accessories you probably needA tablet standThe thought of buying a stand for my phone or tablet seemed weird for a long, long time. I could place my devices down anywhere; why prop them up'But as I started to use my portable devices for content creation, it became obvious that they'd need to be propped up.I decided on Elago's stand for three reasons:Its aluminum construction matches Apple's design aesthetics, it has a hole in its back you can use to thread a charging cable through, and it's large enough to accommodate all of my devices.Since I boughtit a couple of years ago, it's become a common fixture on my desk.Elago P2 stand, $18.99, available at AmazonA long charging cableFor years I tried to use any alchemy I could to rely solely on the power cables Apple packed with its devices.Those 3-foot cables are perfect for charging on a kitchen counter or connecting to a computer, but they're hardly enough for charging on a nightstand. I invested in a couple of Anker's 6-foot cables and never looked back.I'm able to snake a cable from an outlet up the side of my bed for at-night charging, and my devices hardly die anymore.Anker PowerLine Lightning Cable (6ft), $8.99, available at AmazonAn extra power adapterIt's a little indulgent, but buying an extra power adapter for my MacBook Pro was a game changer.I use my laptop as part of a desktop setup; it's constantly connected to a ton of peripherals, with wires organized just so. I wasted a lot of time disrupting that organization any time I needed to take my laptop on the go.Investing in a second power adapter for travel (or use at a place I'm in a lot, like my mom's condo), has saved me time and stress. It's a little indulgent, but very worthwhile.Apple 85w Power Adapter, $77.30, available at AmazonSee the rest of the story at Business Insider
