I regularly order all sorts of things from AliExpress — some for work, some for my car, and some just because I’ve been wanting to try them for a while. I’ve already shared my finds before, and since then a new batch has accumulated. Here are 10 products I bought recently that have genuinely come in handy. From a cable for 280 rubles to a 22-inch portable monitor.

Now you can output your MacBook screen in no time

I ordered this USB-C to HDMI cable to output the picture from my MacBook to an external monitor. It supports resolution up to 8K at 30 Hz and 4K at 60 Hz — enough for both work and watching movies. The braiding is nylon, and the connector housing is made of aluminum alloy — it feels like something that costs much more. I recommend it to anyone who connects a Mac to a TV or monitor.

Price: 1,040 rubles for 1.5 meters

A handy handset at a great price

I got the UNIWA MS001 as a backup button phone with support for four SIM cards at once. All four cards work in standby mode simultaneously, and there’s a built-in GSM signal booster. It comes with an 1800 mAh battery, a flashlight, and FM radio. There’s even a Russian keyboard. A great option for a country house, trips, or as a phone for elderly relatives — I definitely recommend it.

Price: 1,540 rubles

This cable will truly last you a long time

I bought the Rocoren 240W cable as a spare and haven’t regretted it once. It supports the PD 3.1 standard and is suitable for charging MacBook, iPhone, and Samsung Galaxy. It has nylon braiding and is 1 meter long. On marketplaces, similar cables cost from 600 rubles, but this one is half the price. I recommend getting a couple at once.

Price: 280 rubles (combo cart price)

A Powerful Charger for iPhone and MacBook

The charger is really powerful

I personally use the UGREEN 100W charger with GaN technology — I charge my MacBook, iPhone, and iPad from it simultaneously. Three ports: 2 USB-C and 1 USB-A. It supports Quick Charge 4.0 and Power Delivery. Compact, doesn’t overheat, and charges fast. With the seller’s coupon, it comes out even cheaper. One of my best purchases recently.

The power often goes out at my country house, so I bought the QOOVI 60,000 mAh power bank for trips — and it really comes in handy. It supports fast charging at 22.5W via USB-C and USB-A. It has a digital display showing charge level and a built-in flashlight. In terms of capacity, it’s enough to charge an iPhone 16 Pro about 12 times. It’s a bit heavy, but if you need a serious energy reserve — it’s an indispensable thing.

Your smartphone won’t fly out of this holder

The Baseus holder has been in my car for several months — it attaches with a suction cup to the dashboard or windshield. It has a foldable design and fits any smartphone — from iPhone to Samsung and Xiaomi. It holds firmly and doesn’t fall off on bumps. A simple and reliable option without any extras.
