Best way to protect my new MacBook Pro 16 inch M3 Pro

Yay! Just got a new MacBook Pro 16 inch M3 pro. I work a lot on my bed and sometimes fall asleep with my computer on. My old ones have fallen off the bed onto the floor.


what do you recommend to protect my new MacBook Pro?


also I eat while working and wonder if I should get a keyboard cover? But read somewhere that is bad for the computer.


thanks!

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.0

Seems pretty straight forward


  • Use your Mac laptop on a stable work surface that allows for good ventilation. Don’t use your Mac laptop in your bed, on a pillow, or under bedding.

please note:


Leaving any material on your display, keyboard, or palm rest might interfere with the display when it's closed and cause damage to your display.
