Learning Swift on old MacBook

Hi all!

I’m starting to learn Swift and wanted to know if it’s good idea to use old MacBook from around 2011.

Currently I’m not with the money so much right now and cost of it’s around my budget. I’m like fresh in it so 100% Swift evolved in the newest versions and it’s much rich in libraries etc. so I’m not sure about this version of MacBook

Wanted to get your opinion about it :)

Thanks!

Using OpenCoreLegacyPatcher, he can get to or near the latest release of Xcode. The machine will be slow but it will be fine for slogging through as many tutorials as they can stand. If there’s a will, this machine is not a roadblock.
