title: 2011 Mac with flutter development
body: <p>I am looking at purchasing a Mac mini to help with development of a flutter application. The newest versions are quite expensive and after looking on ebay the cheaper versions are the 2011 models.</p>
  
  <p>The hardware is primarily 2.3 GHz i5, 8gb ram and SSD which seems fine but the OS version varies from mountain lion to High Sierra. I assume older versions can be updated?</p>
  
  <p>I can't find anywhere that specifies minimum OS versions for flutter. Does anyone know whether a 2011 Mac mini with this spec would be appropriate for app development. I would like to also use the IOS emulator with newer apple device/phone models and iOS versions.</p>
  
  <p>Sorry I have little experience with Mac os. Thanks a lot</p>
  
  <p>(I may also want to try swift coding in xcode)</p>
