There are many great ways you can accessorize a Chromebook, just like a Windows laptop. If you use your Chromebook for work or school, you could use it with a docking station or a Thunderbolt dock with an external monitor. Using an external monitor can provide more screen real estate for multitasking, and docking stations can offer additional ports for connecting your favorite accessories.

Of course, you'll also need an excellent mouse and a great mechanical keyboard to complete your workstation to make typing and scrolling more comfortable. It's also useful to have a nice sleeve to carry your Chromebook in on a daily basis, even if you use a backpack. In this list, we'll take a look at the best accessories to use with your Chromebook. From mice to webcams and more, we've got you covered.
