Setting up a home office

If you frequently work on your computer at home, you may want to
purchase a second AC adapter for use at home. With a second AC
adapter, you can avoid transporting the extra weight to and from
home.

If you use your computer at home for significant periods of time, you
might also want to add an external keyboard, monitor, or mouse.
