Amazon is usually cheaper and comes with the same one-year Apple warranty. Either way you can add AppleCare+ within 60 days of purchase.
iHelp's verdict
New M6 chip, August 2026. The most affordable way onto a current Mac if you already have a screen.
Anyone whose Intel Mac is being left behind by macOS 27 and who already has a monitor, keyboard and mouse. The most affordable way onto a current Mac desktop.
M6 chip, Apple's first on a 2 nanometre process, 16GB of memory as standard, three Thunderbolt 4 ports, HDMI and Ethernet. An M5 Pro model with Thunderbolt 5 is available for heavier work.
