How do I know if my BookArc is compatible with Insert G?

Check the inserts that came with your stand. If they have letters (A, B, C, and so on), your BookArc is compatible. If they have numbers (1, 2, 3, and so on), your stand is an older version that won't work with Insert G. The current BookArc launched in 2015.

Will this insert work with a 14-inch MacBook Pro?

No. Insert G is designed specifically for the 16-inch MacBook Pro models from 2021 and 2023. It matches the thickness and dimensions of those machines, so a 14-inch model won't fit securely.

Can I use this insert with the BookArc mod?

No. Insert G is not compatible with the BookArc mod. It only works with the standard BookArc models made in 2015 or later that shipped with lettered inserts.

Do I need any tools to install the insert?

Most BookArc models use a simple swap mechanism for inserts, so you typically don't need tools. Check your stand's documentation for the exact removal and installation steps.

Replacement Insert G for BookArc Vertical Stand (16-inch MacBook Pro)

Most vertical laptop stands force you to replace the entire unit when you upgrade your machine. This insert solves the fit problem for a fraction of the cost and none of the waste. If you already own a compatible BookArc and recently moved to a 16-inch MacBook Pro, swapping in Insert G keeps your existing stand working instead of sending a perfectly good dock to a drawer. That matters if you value the stand's design or simply prefer not to rebuy what you already have.

Good gift when

People who upgraded their 16-inch MacBook Pro and need a new dock fit
BookArc owners with 2015-or-later models looking to future-proof their setup

Skip it if You own a BookArc mod, a pre-2015 BookArc for MacBook Air, or any BookArc with numbered inserts—Insert G won't fit those stands. It also won't help if you need support for any laptop other than the 16-inch MacBook Pro from 2021 or 2023.

BookArc Insert G

If you're giving it

No sizing to guess

Only useful to someone who owns a compatible BookArc stand and a 16-inch MacBook Pro from 2021 or 2023.

The details

When your MacBook changes but your vertical stand doesn't need to, this replacement insert bridges the gap. Insert G brings support for 16-inch MacBook Pro models from 2021 and 2023 to any BookArc stand made in 2015 or later.

The insert swaps into your existing BookArc cradle to match the thickness and dimensions of newer 16-inch machines equipped with M1 or M2 chips. Once installed, your laptop sits securely in the vertical stand while connected to an external display and peripherals, clearing desk space without replacing the entire dock.

This insert works exclusively with BookArc models that shipped with lettered inserts (A through H). If your stand came with numbered inserts (1 through 8), it's an earlier version that can't use Insert G. The mod version and pre-2015 BookArc for MacBook Air are also incompatible.

Silver finish matches the aluminum MacBook Pro housing.
