But for just about everything else, it’s hard to beat a16-inch MacBook Pro.

In fact, that’s how my M1 Pro 16-inch MacBook Pro spends thevast majority of its life.

The best premium MacBook Pro overall, the MacBook Pro 16-inch with M3 Max chip

And it’s awesome.

But to get the most out of the laptop-as-a-desktop lifestyle you’re going to need some things.

And thisBlack Fridayis the perfect time to pick them up.

Keychron K6 Pro

The first, and perhaps most obvious, is a monitor.

A proper, big monitor is a non-negotiable here.

The second and third things are closely related because they’re both input peripherals.

Logitech MX Master 3

That’s right, you’re going to need an external keyboard and a mouse.

Well, that’s a Thunderbolt or USB-C dock.

Let’s dive in.

Keychron K6 Pro Mechanical Keyboard

I personally use the Keychron K6 keyboard and it’s been brilliant.

And they don’t get any more impressive than theLogitech MX Master 3S.

Right now it’sselling for $89.99at Walmart, although only in Pale Gray.

Studio Display in an office on a wooden desk

It’s$99.99 at Amazonwith freeAdobeCreative Cloud thrown in.

It’s a 27-inch display with a 5K resolution, sporting 600 nits of brightness and P3 wide color.

There are cheaper monitors around, but few tick the retina boxes like this one.

Best Laptop Stand

The upgraded nano-texture model reduces glare and is now$100 off at Amazon.

However, there are plenty ofdiscounted laptop standson Amazon for you to check out.

A bright silver stand won’t go well with a Space Black MacBook Pro, for example.
