Apple M6

Buying advice

M6 is a compact-desktop SoC for responsive everyday work, software development and creative applications, combining a 12-core CPU with a 12-core GPU. Choose the complete Mac configuration around memory capacity and software compatibility: unified memory is shared with graphics, and the base 16GB model has less headroom for larger local models and heavy multitasking.
