Have been trying to update to 12.1 the whole of yesterday but its not showing up. Oddly my MB Pro had no issues updating. The thing just showed up immediately when I opened up my laptop. However for the MBA its just not appearing.

Some users are not seeing the macOS Monterey 12.1 update on M1 Macs [Update: Fix in the comments]

1.) Open System Preferences > Software Update. Confirm that no update is available, and leave the window open.
2.) Open Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor.
3.) Go to View > All Processes
4.) Search for 'com.apple.MobileSoftwareUpdate.UpdateBrainService' . Select it and click Force Quit.
5.) The 12.1 Update should appear in System Preferences. Click Update Now.
6.) The update may not download - force quit the com.apple.MobileSoftwareUpdate.UpdateBrainService again using Activity Monitor to start the download.

Wow the quality control of Apple seems to be slipping. This has never happened before in the last 15 years I have used Apple products.

You can also try dbrands skin (plain designs). https://dbrand.com/shop/apple-macbook-air-13-skins-2020-m1

Just applied some dbrand skins to my MBA and really love the feel and look. Do you guys have issue with the laptop heating up more so then when it was naked? Does the chassis contribute to heat dissipation or is it all the vents?
