I preordered the MacBook Neo the day it went up because I wanted an affordable, lightweight MacBook Air alternative I could grab when I didn't need the horsepower of my relatively chunky MacBook Pro 14-inch. Battery life is great; it's speedy enough for basic productivity and content creation, and I absolutely love my Indigo color.So when Satechi rolled out a set of color-matching accessories for it, the Slim EX Wireless Mouse, the USB-C Snap Hub, and the OntheGo 5-in-1 Multiport Adapter, they caught my attention. I've been testing the Indigo versions of all three, though all four Neo colors are available, as well as silver and black if you prefer. But was I drawn in just because of the color, or would these be accessories I'd actually want to use?Quick linksSatechi Slim EX Wireless Mouse: $29 at AmazonSatechi OntheGo 5-in-1 Multiport Adapter: $44 at AmazonSatechi USB-C Snap Hub: $44 at AmazonSatechi Slim EX Wireless Mouse

It's just as compact as the Logitech Pebble I've been traveling around with for the past few years, but it's overall a step up with comfort and build quality. Part of that comes down to the more rounded metal top shell, which also looks and feels more premium, and the scroll wheel is a nice upgrade too with its textured metal.
