Dell 24 All-in-One Desktop vs Apple iMac M6
The iMac M6 is the better buy for most people: a 4.5K Retina screen, a current Apple Silicon chip, macOS 27 and a slim seven-color design. The Dell 24 All-in-One is an older Optiplex 7440/7450 platform with a 6th or 7th gen Intel Core i7, a 1080p panel and Windows, so it suits buyers who need a cheap Windows machine with lots of RAM and legacy ports. On build and display the iMac wins clearly; the Dell's edge is 32 GB RAM and HDMI/DisplayPort/USB-A connectivity at the low end.
- Choose the Dell 24 All-in-One if you need a Windows desktop with HDMI, DisplayPort and USB-A ports and 32 GB of memory for office multitasking.
- Choose the Apple iMac M6 if you want a sharp 4.5K display, a fast current chip and long macOS support in a thin, quiet all-in-one.
