I just recently became an (online) student of Full Sail University. It's also a requirement that every student have a brand new 17'' Macbook Pro (supplied by the school). The funny thing is that when I applied to the school, I didn't even know about this generous gift! I just knew that I wanted to study Internet Marketing, and Full Sail University is one of the few schools that have this program. Well, imagine my surprise when I learned that I would be receiving a brand-spanking-new Macbook Pro! I was shocked.

Since I have always been a Windows user, it has been an interesting experience learning how to use a Mac. I'm sure it will be years before I'm a pro. For now I'm sticking to getting the right laptop accessories to go with it and that will help me with school.

1. Magic Mouse - If you don't know, this is the world's first multi-touch mouse and it's included with ever new iMac. I'm used to having a mouse with my laptop -- at least that's what I used with my old HP laptop. For me, it's just easier to manage with a mouse when I go somewhere like a coffee shop or bookstore. So, this is definitely something I want.
2. LED Cinema Display - Yes I have a huge 23'' LED monitor for my desktop computer but can I hook it up to my Macbook Pro? I'm really not sure. I do know that Apple's 24'' LED cinema display is a definite looker and is calling my name! Things look so much better on a big screen. Don't you think?
3. Laptop Sleeve - This is a definite must. There are so many different types that you can get from feminine to professional. I definitely don't want a scratch on my new laptop -- I don't even like to touch it because I don't want fingerprints on it. A protective laptop sleeve is something that I want and need ASAP.
4. SIP IP Phone - I think it would be cool to have one of these and ditch my house phone. I love technology. Who would have thought that one day we'd be able to make calls on our computers and even buy a phone to hook up to them and make calls on? Services like Skype are so much cheaper than a house phone so, I definitely think this is a laptop accessory that is a worthwhile investment.
5. Laptop Stand - I use my Macbook in the bed all the time and since I don't have a stand or table for the bed, it's not all that comfortable. There are a variety to choose from and some that are made especially for sitting in bed. Right now, this is at the top of my list.

So there's my list. What is on your laptop accessories wish list? Care to share?
