I strongly, strongly prefer licensed Lightning cables to generics, and this thick cable has proved very resilient in my travels. The easiest way to save space is to combine both of those cables into one, and the best of the combined Lightning and Micro-USB cables I’ve tested is Dodocool’s 2-in-1 Lightning/Micro USB Cord ($13).
These days, all of Apple’s iOS devices use Lightning connectors, and all of their accessories use Micro-USB cables. I’ve carried a lot of USB cables around over the years, almost always for two types of devices: Apple devices and related accessories. Viewed straight on, they look substantially clear - a little tinting is obvious - but from the side, the screen looks partially or entirely black, depending on the viewing angle, with enough fuzziness to obscure the details of whatever you’re looking at. $28-$45 non-Retina Pro), which are normally sold in clear or black, but also offered in gold. The #1-ranked option is 3M’s Privacy Screen Protectors ( $26-$36/MacBook Air, $37/13″ Retina MacBook Pro, $37/15″ Pro. There are some passive-aggressive approaches to dealing with this, but the simplest solution (apart from closing your Mac) is a privacy filter - a piece of form-fit film that can be placed on the screen to limit off-angle visibility. If you’ve ever tried to work or look at private files on a plane, train, or bus, you’ve probably noticed that some other passengers are craning their heads to check out your MacBook’s screen. The picks below are highly practical and focused to make good use of space and address real-world concerns that many travelers have. My goal is to help you choose the best items to carry with you on the road - the type of items I’ve spent years testing. But it can do even more if you bring the right accessories along. Whether it’s on a seat-back tray or resting in your lap, your MacBook can deliver quite a few hours of productive work time, video viewing, or even gameplay without assistance.
Apple’s latest laptops consume much less space than their predecessors, and last much longer when they’re in active use. Traveling with any MacBook is a lot easier today than it was five or ten years ago.
