So, you bought yourself a shiny new HP laptop. Here are the accessories I recommend:
- Laptop case (I use a military messenger bag with padded dividers in the middle for my rig). - $24
- Wireless mouse - $20
- Mobile surge protector - $12
- Personal computer endorsement for your homeowner’s insurance for computer coverage (my insurer, USAA, covers any computer damage, accidental or hardware failure, up to $2000 minus a $100 deductible - $18/year
- If you can’t get the insurance coverage, carefully consider the accidental damage warranty from the retailer you purchased from.
- Backup disk of your operating system and a disk of your necessary program setup files. - $1
- A usb flash drive for backing up your files. - $25
