![]() I haven’t tried switching that part of my workflow to Monterey yet because it’s been so easy to do on the mini, but I plan to soon. There were also a couple of audio apps ( Adobe Audition and iZotope RX6) that I use for podcast editing that I continued to run on a 2018 Intel-based Mac mini because they didn’t work with the early betas. Safari was unstable early on but improved significantly over the course of the summer. That’s not to say there haven’t been issues, but none were show stoppers. This year was different in part because I enjoy working on the M1 iMac so much that I couldn’t pull myself away from it, but also because it’s been one of the most stable macOS betas I’ve ever run. Typically, I’ll gradually work my way into using a beta of macOS until I’m using it full-time by August. It’s been an unusually busy summer at MacStories thanks to the expansion of the Club in August, which has meant I’ve given Monterey a workout beyond what I’d normally do during this time of the year. In the interim, I’ve spent every day since early June working in Monterey. I installed developer beta 1 on the M1 iMac during WWDC and haven’t looked back since. It’s a truly remarkable machine and one that may wind up being my next desktop Mac after I return this review unit. ![]() I’ve only managed to work the iMac hard enough to make its fans audible once when I was doing some screencast work for Club MacStories. The design looks great on my desk, but it’s the bright, crisp screen and M1’s performance that has made it a pleasure to use daily. I also installed Monterey on a 2016 MacBook Pro, but that was primarily to track down a Safari bug that has since been fixed.Īs an aside, I’m an even bigger fan of the M1 iMac than I was when I first reviewed it, something I’ll be writing about more for Club MacStories+ members soon. In fact, I’ve done the vast majority of all my work on this iMac since June. ![]() That’s the Mac that I’ve spent 99% of my time working on with Monterey. Shortly before WWDC, Apple sent me an M1 iMac that I reviewed in July. My testing was a little different this year than in the past. I’ve spent over 1,000 hours working on the M1 iMac using Monterey since June.
