Apple has officially upgraded its 24-inch all-in-one desktop lineup, introducing the new iMac powered by the M6 chip alongside the updated 14-inch MacBook Pro. While maintaining the slim, colorful design of its predecessor, the new desktop brings solid improvements to processing power, wireless connectivity, and multi-display output. Here is a comprehensive look at the features, hardware specs, and expected price in Nepal for the new iMac M6.
Sleek Design and Display Specs
The new iMac retains an integrated all-in-one form factor, placing all computing components behind the screen to eliminate the need for a separate desktop tower. It measures 21.5 inches in width, 18.1 inches in height, and 5.8 inches in depth with its stand. The 10-core variant weighs 4.42 kg, whereas the 12-core edition weighs 4.44 kg. It comes in seven distinct color options: blue, purple, pink, orange, yellow, green, and silver, complemented by a color-matched magnetic power connector.
On the front sits a 24-inch 4.5K Retina display delivering a resolution of 4480 × 2520 pixels, up to 500 nits of brightness, and support for the P3 wide color gamut. Users working in high-glare environments can choose an optional nano-texture glass finish. For media consumption, the panel supports HDR formats including Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HDR10, and HLG. The setup also supports connecting up to two external 6K displays at 60Hz.
M6 Performance and Memory Options
At the heart of the desktop is Apple's M6 processor, available in two core configurations. The standard model features a 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU, while the higher-tier version packs a 12-core CPU and 12-core GPU. Both include a 16-core Neural Engine for AI workloads and support hardware-accelerated ray tracing for improved graphics rendering.
Both configurations start with 16GB of unified memory. The base model can be expanded up to 24GB, while the higher-end variant supports up to 32GB. Internal storage starts at a 256GB SSD, with 512GB and 1TB options for both, plus an exclusive 2TB storage tier for the 12-core version.
Camera, Audio, and Connectivity
For video calls, the desktop features a 12MP Center Stage camera supporting Desk View and 1080p HD video capture. Audio capabilities include a six-speaker sound system with force-cancelling woofers, Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos support, and a studio-quality three-microphone array. Wireless capabilities are upgraded to Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6. The base 10-core model provides two Thunderbolt 4 ports, whereas the 12-core model includes four Thunderbolt 4 ports and 2.5Gb Ethernet. A 3.5mm headphone jack is standard on both. Software-wise, it runs macOS 27 and supports Apple Intelligence features, including the revamped Siri assistant.
