Apple's new iMac with the M6 chip goes on pre-order on 28 October from $1,499 and leans on on-device AI

Engadget· 27 Oct

Engadget reports Apple's iMac with M6 starts at $1,499 with 16GB of memory and goes on pre-order tomorrow. Apple says it is up to 50% faster than the M4 iMac in Microsoft Excel and up to five times faster at on-device AI prompt processing in LM Studio, which is Apple's own benchmark. It runs macOS 27 with Siri AI.

  • Do not upgrade for AI speed alone. If your current Mac handles your work, wait for independent reviews of the M6 iMac before you spend $1,499.
  • Check that Siri AI and Apple Intelligence are available in your country and language first, since Engadget notes they are not yet available in Europe.
