However, lugging around ultrawide monitors, my mechanical keyboard, and gaming mouse is just plain impossible whenever I want to work elsewhere for a few days. While I could get things done on just my 15-inch M2 MacBook Air just the same, I find myself longing for the convenience and productivity I get from my home office setup.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why I built a portable workstation I can bring with me whenever I travel. These gadgets and accessories ensured that I could enjoy the benefits of three (somewhat smaller) displays while working ergonomically. Of course, I also had to consider their size and portability, ensuring they can fit in one standard piece of luggage so I can easily bring them with me in my car or on a plane.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\">A vertical mouse<\/h2>\n<p>                        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"gallery-image \" src=\"https:\/\/www.slashgear.com\/2155139\/macbook-air-portable-workstation-gadgets-accessories\/\" data-post-id=\"2155139\" data-slide-num=\"1\" data-slide-title=\"5 Gadgets And Accessories I Use To Turn My MacBook Air Into A Portable Workstation: A vertical mouse\" width=\"780\" height=\"438\" alt=\"the writer's vertical mouse\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                    <span class=\"gallery-image-credit\">Jowi Morales\/SlashGear<\/span><\/p>\n<p>While the MacBook arguably offers one of the best touchpads you can find on a laptop, there is still no&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slashgear.com\/2155139\/macbook-air-portable-workstation-gadgets-accessories\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5 Gadgets And Accessories I Use To Turn My MacBook Air Into A Portable Workstation&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":235914,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.slashgear.com\/img\/gallery\/5-gadgets-and-accessories-i-use-to-turn-my-macbook-air-into-a-portable-workstation\/l-intro-1776914982.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[50],"class_list":["post-235913","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-macintosh","tag-macbook-air"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235913"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=235913"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235913\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":235915,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235913\/revisions\/235915"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/235914"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=235913"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=235913"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=235913"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
