BEST PORTABLE MACBOOK PRINTER

You may be lucky enough to find an accessible Mac compatible wireless printer within range when you're on the go. But if you know you're going to need frequent printing at arms-length, a portable Bluetooth MacBook printer is the way to go. Choices are simpler here because only HP and Canon really address the portable MacBook printing scene well. Here's my top HP pick.

Portable Bluetooth Mac Printer

Wireless Printing, Rechargable LiOn Batter NEW from HP, an even sleeker portable printer that features Bluetooth connectivity as standard - also has a USB port. Combined with the $9.99 Print Central App from the iTunes store, it enables this great portable Hewlett-Packard printer for iOS iPad-iPhone-Touch printing.

WIRELESS SPEAKERS FOR MACBOOK

With the exception of 17" MacBook owners, the built-in speakers of lesser models leave much to be desired -- Namely: Adequate volume and decent frequency response. With careful shopping, you can find versatile MacBook Bluetooth speaker systems well-suited for both great audio on your desktop - and on the road.
