What BookArc Insert E is designed for

Insert E is a replacement insert for the current BookArc (2015 and later). It adds compatibility for two specific MacBook models: the MacBook Air with Retina Display (2018–2019 models) and the 13-inch MacBook Pro (2020). If you own either of those laptops and a current BookArc, Insert E is the piece that lets the stand hold your machine properly.

It is not a universal insert. The fit depends on both your MacBook model and the version of BookArc you own.

BookArc Insert E compatibility questions

Which MacBook models does Insert E fit?

Insert E supports the MacBook Air with Retina Display (2018–2019 models) and the 13-inch MacBook Pro (2020) when used with the current BookArc (2015 and later). No other MacBook models are listed as compatible in the supplied information.

Will Insert E work with my older BookArc?

No. Insert E is not compatible with BookArc mod, BookArc for MacBook Air (pre-2015), or the previous version of BookArc for MacBook (pre-2015). Those stands use a different insert system.

How can I tell which BookArc I have?

Check the inserts that came with your stand. Previous BookArc versions came with numbered inserts (1–8), while the current BookArc uses lettered inserts (A–H). If your inserts are numbered, Insert E will not fit your stand.

Is Insert E a full stand or just a part?

It is a replacement insert only. You use it with an existing current BookArc stand; it does not include the stand itself.

Does Insert E come in different colors?

Yes, Insert E is available in Silver and Space Gray. Choose the color that matches your BookArc or your preference.

When Insert E is the right replacement

Choose Insert E if you have a current BookArc (2015 or later) and one of the two supported MacBook models: the MacBook Air with Retina Display (2018–2019) or the 13-inch MacBook Pro (2020). It is also the insert to buy if you have lost or damaged the E insert from your set.

If your BookArc is an older version or you have a different MacBook model, Insert E is not the correct part. The supplied information does not list alternative inserts for other models, so check your stand version and laptop model before ordering.
