The anticipated macOS Monterey update is now rolling out to supported Apple devices. The update may take some time to appear on your machine, but rest assured, it’ll show up sooner or later – it may take a few hours until you see it appear in your updates.
How to check if you have macOS Monterey available for your device?
To see whether you already have the update available for download for your device, you can do the following:
- Go to the top left corner and click on the Apple logo
- Click on About this Mac
- Click on Software Update…
- See if you have a new update.
When will macOS Monterey start rolling out?
Apple unveiled the new macOS Monterey update at its WWDC event, and it recently announced that macOS Monterey would be available from October 25, 2021. Apple released the new macOS update to compatible Apple devices at 10 AM PDT, 1 PM EDT.
Availability and Support
macOS Monterey will support the majority of devices that were able to run macOS Big Sur last year. Unfortunately, this also meant that Apple dropped support for a few devices, such as the MacBook Air and iMac devices that were released back in 2013, 2014, and also the 2015 MacBook.
We have collected a list of devices that are compatible and support macOS Monterey:
- iMac: Late 2015 and later
- iMac Pro: 2017 and Later
- MacBook Air: Early 2015 and later
- MacBook Pro: Early 2015 and later
- Mac Pro: Late 2013 and later
- Mac mini: Late 2014 and later
- MacBook: Early 2016 and later
macOS Monterey Features
macOS Monterey comes with a lot of additional features, and there aren’t many redesigned or any visually noticeable changes. We have made a list of most of the features that are coming in the new OS update, and you can find out more about them on our dedicated macOS Monterey page.
As a summary, here are all of the features that will be available in the new software:
- Universal Control
- Safari
- Shortcuts
- Notes
- Focus and other modes coming to Mac from iOS 15
- FaceTime: New video and audio features
- Live Text
- iCloud+: Hide My Email, Mail Privacy Protection
- New Accessibility Features such as alternative image descriptions, Full Keyboard Access, and Cursor Customization.
Universal Control
Apple showed off the Universal Control feature at its WWDC 2021 event. The new feature allows users to seamlessly use Mac and iPad devices as one device, allowing users to use the Mac’s keyboard and mouse to interact, share and use the iPad without any other accessories. Unfortunately, Universal Control will not be available at this time, but Apple confirmed that it’ll be “coming later this fall,” and we may see it enabled on a future version of macOS Monterey.

Using a laptop is great. Its design offers you the freedom of working from almost anywhere. It can be on your bed, at a table, or in a coffee shop down the street. But this same design is also a factor that can cause undue strain on your neck or shoulders when you find yourself looking at a screen for the better part of a day. The simplest way to help with this situation is by using a laptop stand.
These accessories have a variety of forms and offer diverse functionalities to meet any person’s specific requirements. In this article, we’ve listed twelve MacBook stands that you can consider buying to ensure your time in front of the screen doesn’t come at the cost of your well-being and offer work experiences more comfortable than what you may have currently.
-
Twelve South’s BookArc is an elegant-looking stand that can merge into any desk setup seamlessly. It will also maintain color parity with your MacBook and is available in both Space Grey and Silver. The brand also mentions an integrated catch that will prevent your cables from falling to the ground when disconnected.
-
Another vertical stand option, this time from Omoton, is an option worth considering if your table doesn’t have a lot of space to spare. Its other advantage is you can adjust the width of the gap offered to place your laptop with the help of screws housed within its base and the included screwdriver.
-
HumanCentric’s vertical stand is ideal for those who need a home docking solution that can also overcome the MacBook’s lack of ports. The product offers two USB 3.0 ports, one USB 2.0, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a Gigabit Ethernet port, slots of an SD and microSD card, two HDMI ports, and a USB C port that supports the PD standard and can accept 100W current.
Our MacBook Stand Recommendations
If you’re a person who’s always on the move, an option like the iVoler Laptop Holder is worth considering. When set up correctly, it can offer a great typing experience without a severe wobble, even if you have a case on your Macbook. I’ve used a stand similar in design, and its ability to change between various sizes makes it a great option to use in tight spaces.
But if you’re a user who finds themselves sitting at a desk for large portions of the day, in that situation the Lamicall Notebook Holder is a great option to consider, because you can adjust its height between a range of five to eight inches, tilt its base across a 45-degree angle, and swivel the laptop when it’s placed on the stand to show your screen to someone else.
Apart from these two recommendations, if you own an Intel-based MacBook, I suggest looking at the HumanCentric Vertical Stand with the in-built USB C Hub. It’ll save you the effort of looking for accessories for your MacBook Pro as it offers a wide variety of ports to increase the overall usability.

We start with the previous generation Mac mini, which comes with an Intel Core i3 processor, 8GB RAM, and 256GB storage space for $599 after a very compelling $200 discount. However, the best savings come with the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display, which is currently getting a $300 discount. This means you can get your new laptop with 5GB RAM, 512GB storage, and a 1.4GHz 8th generation Intel Core i5 processor for $1,199.
You can also get a 21.5-inch 2017 iMac that is now getting a $220 discount, leaving it available for $1,079. Now, this deal will get you a desktop PC with a 2.3GHz Intel Core i5 Dual-Core processor, 16GB RAM, and 256GB storage space. And if you want an M1-powered laptop, you can also get the latest M1 13-inch MacBook Pro, in case you can’t wait for the launch of the new 14-inch model that could launch next Monday.
The previous generation Apple 12.9-inch model with 512GB storage is getting a $150 discount, meaning you can grab one for $1,149. This is the WiFi-only variant in Silver, but you can also go for an 11-inch model that’s selling for $150 less. The Apple AirPods Pro are also on sale, and you can grab a pair for just $200 after a $50 discount, even though you can find the same wireless earbuds from Amazon.com for $197. And if you want the regular gen-2 AirPods, you can get them with a wireless charging case for $165 after a $35 discount, or grab a pair with a regular wired charging case for just $135 with $25 savings.
