So I've been having some issues with my 21.5" iMac for a while now. 3 screen replacements later for a "smudge" mark on the bottom left corner and Apple is finally willing to replace it.

My iMac that I have currently has 3.0ghz i5, 8GB RAM, 1 TB HDD, and Radeon Pro with 2GB.

The replacement they want to give me has:

Quote:
21.5‑inch iMac with Retina 4K display.
3.6GHz quad-core 8th-generation Intel Core i3 processor
16GB DDR4 memory
Radeon Pro 555X with 2GB of GDDR5 memory
1TB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm
Magic Mouse 2
Magic Keyboard - US English
I was going to pay for the RAM upgrade, but since this has dragged on forever, they're now bumping it up for free. The original replacement they quoted me with had a fusion drive, which I'm kind of annoyed they took away, but I've been booting off of an external SSD for a while now, so that internal drive is just extra storage for the most part.

Is this a good replacement? I never know with the CPU options and such.

No more Twitter. It's Mastodon now.
