With Siri's arrival on the Mac, owners of Apple's computers no longer have to look at iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch owners with envy. And although Apple itself has declared macOS Sierra threatened by the recent swarm of Spectre vulnerabilities, we would argue it’s still one of your safest bets. MacOS 10.12 Sierra may be yesterday’s news, but as its already received its final installment of substantial updates, you can rest easy knowing confidently that it’s going to be a stable experience from here on out. Of course, that support won’t be present until Thunderbolt 3-powered external graphics cards are more widely supported by macOS 10.13 High Sierra, so if you want to stick with regular Sierra in the meantime, we wouldn’t necessarily blame you for doing so. Of the former, we consider the most important of the bunch to be consistently enforced EFI security checks, a more comprehensive catalog of photo editing tools and support for VR. Initially revealed at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) held in San Jose, California, macOS 10.13 High Sierra has been outfitted with a helping of iterative features as well as four different public betas as of January 2018. Over six months ago, we swore off macOS 10.12 Sierra in favor of the formidable macOS 10.13 High Sierra.

Here are the Mac models that are compatible with macOS Sierra:

A word of warning, though: be sure to check out Sierra's system requirements before you hit the download button, as they are notably more taxing than what has gone before.

It almost feels churlish to moan, however, as Sierra continues tradition by leaping from the App Store onto your machine for the princely sum of nothing – just like every version of macOS has been since OS X 10.9 Mavericks.

Not prepared to buy more Apple products? Then the message is clear: you're not getting the full experience. Clearly this is something of a double-edged sword, as Mac owners that don't own them are bound to feel like they're missing out. Whether you're clasping a shiny new iPhone X or Apple Watch 3 in your hand, Apple wants to make you feel like your investments are more than the sum of their parts.
