What Extras Should I Buy When Buying a Laptop?

Posted by Cliff on from the accessorizing dept.

HarleyPig asks: "I'm using my tax return to buy a laptop. I don't want to know which laptop to get (that's a religious discussion I'd like to avoid). What peripherals do you find yourself wishing you'd bought, or have ended up buying? I know I'll need a mouse, extra cabling, extra batteries and some kind of case to hold and carry around the laptop. What else should I consider putting in my list of stuff to buy with a laptop?"

    Don't forget the UPS. You wouldn't want the power to go out in your house and lose all your work, would you?

    (Oh, sorry, this is Slashdot. I meant, "...and loose all you're work...".)
