What happened
Apple refreshed the 24-inch iMac with its M6 chip, and Malaysian pricing starts at RM6,499 for the 10-core CPU/10-core GPU model with 16GB unified memory and 256GB SSD, or RM7,499 for the 12-core CPU/12-core GPU version. Pre-orders open in Malaysia on 29 October 2026 at 1:10am MYT, with general availability on 6 November 2026; education pricing starts at RM6,299. Build-to-order upgrades include RM900 for 24GB RAM, RM1,800 for 32GB (12-core model only), RM900 for 512GB SSD, RM2,250 for 1TB, RM4,500 for 2TB (12-core only), RM100 for 2.5Gb Ethernet and RM900 for nano-textured glass — a fully maxed 12-core/32GB/2TB configuration lands at RM14,699.
Why it matters
The base RM6,499 price is unchanged from Apple's revised June 2026 M4 pricing, but 32GB RAM and 2TB storage are locked to the RM7,499 12-core tier — so getting a machine actually comfortable for local model work or heavy container/IDE use means roughly RM9,299 (12-core + 32GB), before storage. If you were budgeting a Mac desktop as an AI/ML dev box, price the RAM tier first, not the base SKU.
Discussion angle
For a Malaysian dev buying a desk machine in Nov 2026: is a 12-core M6 iMac with 32GB at ~RM9,299 better value than a Mac mini plus external display, or a cloud dev environment — and does the 16GB base model still cut it for local LLM experiments?
