Man, you guys make me want to raid my storage unit... I know I have a Quicksilver G4 dual 1.0ghz with 23" Cinema Display somewhere in there. Along with a 20" and 24" iMac from the early Apple/Intel era. The early - mid 2000s were a revolutionary time for Apple computers.
Why didn't you go for the i7? If you can afford an LG Ultrafine 5K and 32GB of ram, why not just pay a tad more for it?
And, is your profile pic a hackintosh which you made look like cheese grater Mac Pro?
I didn't want to wait any longer. If I return my i5 now I'll have to wait least 3 weeks for the i7 to arrive. And the i5 definitely performs better than expected. It runs 100+ Channel Logic X projects easily whereas my 2012 core i7 Mini would've already choked.

Hm.. 5-6 days I could live with that.. where are you from if I may ask and where did you order it?
Brexit country. I ordered it on the Apple website, upgrade the i5 model to an i7 and 16GB (student pricing of 16GB RAM is only £30 or so more than installing it myself). Not worth the hassle or risk, and 32GB is overkill for my casual use. When I ordered it, it said the estimated delivery time was 9-14 days (can't remember exactly), but then once it was dispatched from China it reduced by several days.
No idea. I haven't downloaded it. Don't you have to pay to get the proper version? In light use (like mine - web browsing, MS office, etc), there is almost certainly no difference, but I just like knowing I have the best CPU possible, and the price of upgrading vs the total cost is what, 10%? You'll also get some money back on resale so it's not complete lost. In your case, the hassle is replacing it, not the cost I suppose.
, my profile pic does not matter, found it just funny, it's not my machine.
Really? This picture with the G4 and Mac Mini was my setup in 2006, as I wrote...
My current Mac's in are indicated in my signature. And this is my PC and Hackintosh: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/the-hackintosh-thread.1900326/page-24#post-24845743
Absolutely
But only if you add more ram. 8GB isn't enough since MacOS already uses +/- 5 GB.No Geekbench is free. I don't have to sell it since I can simply return it to the Apple store until Tuesday but yeah it's more the hassle of replacing it.
I’ve had them for a few months. As for them being too close, I haven’t had any issue with that. I usually sit further back when listening. They sound awesome to me. But if im just watching YouTube or thing with dialogue im not cranking them. So its fine . But with music I’ll sit further back.
Mine. Temporarily setup until the new monitor arrives.
Still have to install applications...
