## Key points

- M6 boosts performance, especially graphics.
- The 24-inch design remains unchanged.
- Starting price rises by $200.

## Summary

The iMac M6 is faster than its predecessor, but its unchanged design and 24-inch screen make it feel dated, while its higher starting price weakens its appeal. The reviewer says it remains a capable computer for home and business users, though many buyers may get better value from a Mac mini paired with a larger monitor.

The new chip brings a reported 20 per cent rise in CPU benchmark results and more than doubles the GPU score in one test; memory bandwidth rises to 170GB/s. The iMac also adds Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, but retains the 4.5K display and offers only 16GB to 32GB of memory. It starts at $1,499, $200 more than the previous model.
