Welcome • This month’s Essential AppleUser Magazine centres on two things; the macOS Monterey update to the Mac’s operating system, and the new gear Apple unveiled at the October keynote, including two new MacBook Pro lines with brand new Apple Silicon processors. The new chips and Monterey work hand in hand to make today’s Macs the fastest they’ve ever been.

Team players// • At last, it’s here! macOS 12: Monterey is the latest Mac operating system, and if your Mac is powerful enough, you can update for free. Here, the team tells all about what they like best in macOS Monterey.
