Jabra Move Wireless are excellent – and affordable – wireless headphones that are the ideal accessory for a laptop. If the person you're buying for watches a lot of movies and TV shows on their laptop, or listens to Spotify, then they'll want a pair of cans that provide brilliant sound quality. From the fun and edgy design to excellent performance, these headphones are sure to please laptop owners this Christmas.
A brilliant gift idea for laptop users is a portable power bank that can give the batteries in their laptops a boost without having to search for a power socket. The PowerAdd Pilot Pro2 is a great example, as it comes with 10 connectors that cover most of the laptops on the market today, and it’s backed by a two-year warranty. The Pilot Pro2 is also light enough to carry around wherever you go, coming in under 560g. The only thing that holds it back is that it doesn’t have any USB-C connectors.
No one likes having a hot laptop, even when the weather outside is frightful, which is why a laptop cooler is a great Christmas gift. When laptops work hard – especially gaming ones – the hardware inside a laptop can get quite toasty. The Cooler Master MasterNotepal is a slick and solid laptop stand gets its strength from aluminium – and that’s not the only bonus that comes from the MasterNotepal’s metal design. Meanwhile, the bottom of the stand is rubberized and has clasps for keeping cables tidy, and the top of the device has an anti-slip strip – perfect for keeping the laptop secure.
