Miscellaneous options

Battery pack

It is a good idea to have a spare battery, especially when you travel with your computer. This greatly increases your productive range when you are on the move.

AC adapter

Having a spare AC adapter allows you to keep one in two different places. For example, you could have one AC adapter at home and another at work. This means that you don't have to carry an AC adapter when traveling between your two base locations.
