I know that Intel Core i5 @ 1.4GHz is not listed in the compatiblity grid but...are there chances it could work?
It might run but you'll have nothing but issues with lack of cpu power. I almost thought you had an error in typing that cpu speed but I see that's not the case. If you have a Fusion drive as your system drive you'll have even more issues on top of the slow cpu and it being an i5. PT11 really wants to see an i7 cpu and speed well north of 2GHz; preferably in the 3+ GHz range. Your machine might work okay as an email and net surfing machine but as the computer in your recording system? Not a chance.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
