I have had lots of questions from Mac users over the past few weeks about whether it is time yet to upgrade to Mac's latest operating system, MacOS Mojave 10.14 (which is now at version 10.14.1, after an update released at the end of October) I have to say that I have been using Mojave now for nearly 2 months and, in general, it is working without any issues. And I love some of the new features. The only issue I have really found is with my Messages and Contacts apps, which 'freeze' on a regular basis. But I suspect that could be more to do with the number of accounts and contacts that I have. In fact, I just discovered an article on this topic, and have just tried out the suggestions to see if this helps. So far so good! When it comes to the question about whether you should update your own Mac, it is probably fairly safe to proceed now. However, here are some things to consider before you do ...
Here is the list of Mac models that can be upgraded to Mojave:
