How do I know if my BookArc is compatible with this insert?

Check the inserts that came with your stand. If they are labeled with letters (A through H), you have the current version and this insert will fit. If your inserts are numbered (1 through 8), you have an earlier model and this insert will not work.

Will this fit the BookArc mod?

No, this insert is designed only for the current BookArc that shipped in 2015 or later. It will not fit the BookArc mod or any pre-2015 versions of the stand.

Can I use this with a MacBook Air from 2018 or later?

This insert is sized for MacBook Air models from 2010 through 2017. Newer MacBook Air models have different dimensions and typically require a different insert.

Does this come with the BookArc stand itself?

No, this is a replacement insert only. You need to already own a compatible BookArc stand from 2015 or later to use this part.

Replacement Insert for BookArc Vertical MacBook Stand

Most vertical laptop stands force you to buy a whole new unit when you switch machines. This insert solves that by letting you adapt the stand you already own to fit a different MacBook generation. If you kept an older Air or Retina Pro in service, or if someone in your home uses a 2010–2017 model, swapping this piece into your BookArc is faster and less wasteful than replacing the entire stand. It works for anyone who values a proper fit without doubling up on desk accessories.

Good gift when

Owners of current BookArc stands who have older MacBook models
Households with multiple MacBook generations in use
Anyone who upgraded their laptop but kept the same stand

Skip it if You have a BookArc mod, a pre-2015 BookArc for MacBook Air, or an earlier BookArc that used numbered inserts instead of letters—this part will not fit those versions.

The details

This replacement insert extends the compatibility of your BookArc vertical stand to fit older MacBook models. It works with the current generation BookArc (2015 and later, identified by lettered inserts A through H) and enables secure docking for 11-inch and 13-inch MacBook Air laptops from 2010 through 2017, as well as 13-inch and 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro models from 2012 through 2015.

The insert swaps into the stand's cradle to accommodate the specific thickness and dimensions of these earlier machines, so you can continue using your BookArc even when you upgrade or switch between devices in your household or office.

This part fits only the current BookArc version that shipped with lettered inserts. It will not work with the BookArc mod, the pre-2015 BookArc for MacBook Air, or the earlier BookArc for MacBook that came with numbered inserts 1 through 8. If you own one of those older stands, this insert will not be compatible.
