Is the nano-texture display worth it?

If you work near windows, outdoors or under harsh lighting, yes. It scatters reflections instead of mirroring them. In a dim studio the standard glass looks slightly crisper.

How does the M6 compare with the M5 Pro and M5 Max?

The M6 is the entry pro chip with a 12-core CPU and GPU. The M5 Pro and M5 Max add more cores and memory bandwidth for heavy 3D, video and AI work. The M6 handles most photo, code and office work comfortably.

Is 16GB of memory enough?

For browsing, office apps and light editing, yes. For large photo libraries, virtual machines or running local language models, choose 24GB or 32GB at purchase, since it can't be added later.

The laptop, a MagSafe 3 charging cable and a power adapter. No external mouse or display is included.

Can I connect two external monitors?

Yes. The three Thunderbolt 4 ports and HDMI support multiple external displays, though the exact resolution and refresh limits depend on the displays you use.

Does it run Windows apps?

Not natively. You need a virtual machine or emulation layer, which works but costs performance and memory.
