You’re always on the go and you practically live out of your laptop bag. Not sure what to put in it to make you the best prepared geek around? We’ve rounded up some super handy laptop bag must-haves, and all of them are under $30.
If you’re away from your desk (or don’t even have a proper desk to call your own in the first place), it’s important to have tools immediately on hand to stay organized, stay charged up, and be prepared for work outside the office.
The following collection of gadgets will help you stay on top of your work (and play) without taking up too much room or hitting your pocketbook too hard.1. Anker PowerCore 10000 Portable Charger ($26)
There’s nothing worse than having your phone die on you with no outlet in sight. A definite must-have for your laptop bag is this Anker PowerCore Portable Charger; its lightweight and portable design makes it so easy to carry with you, and its compact size is convenient when you’ve got other things to put in your bag. It has enough juice to recharge your phone 2-3 times (depending on the model) and offers the build quality you’d expect from Anker.

All you have to do is grab the mouse from your bag, turn it on, and start clicking; it will even last up to 10 months with just one battery.3. Sabrent 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub ($10)
Do you have multiple gadgets, but your laptop doesn’t have enough ports? The Sabrent 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub is a perfect way to expand your ports. It packs light, is backwards compatible with older USB standards, and—if you’re into that sort of granular control—you can independently toggle each port on the hub. Have a new we-don’t-need-no-stinkin’-ports laptop that only has USB-C? Don’t worry, there’s a USB-C version of the hub too.
