I'm likely picking up this computer tomorrow, after performing some basic tests/benchmarks (and perhaps Apple's diagnostics tool).
I've come to the conclusion that a used 2015 iMac 27 is likely the sweet spot right now for my 2./3. Mac:
Late 2015 Core i7, 1TB SSD and the 5K screen is what I've got my eyes on. GFX and RAM are a non issue for what I'm planning (and if I need to I can bypass the internal gfx with an eGPU). Price $1400.
I've got a fully upgraded Mac Pro 4.1 (in a separate office), a 2016 MacBook Pro that I move around a lot and would like the iMac in my apartment as an 'office computer light' to draft ideas for designs, some photo work an Xcode (and feed my TV 4K via external HDD).
I've got no experience with iMacs so far. I'm writing this post to see if I need a heads up on some issues that I need to look for. You don't need to give advice about performance or software per se.
Did this iMac suffer from screen issues? Over heating? Stuff like that....
Many thanks!
