title: Does xcode work on a mac mini
body: <p>I am new in coding and would like to start working with xcode and swift. Unfortunately I just have an iPad and no mac computer. So I have to buy one. 
  I found the mac mini on ebay. Is the mac mini good enough to code on it? How many GB of rams do I need? 4 is probably not enough, what is about 8? Should I buy the late 2014 mac mini with 8 GB? But i couldnt increase it to 16 GB of ram.. Or does the late 2012 mac min work totally fine with xcode? </p>
  
  <p>Would love to hear about your experiences. </p>
  
  <p>thank you very much. At the moment I am looking for the mac mini (2012 late), 2,5 GHz Dual-Core i5 with 8 GB Ram(2x4) (1067 MHz DDR3) with a 500 GB HHD and Intel HD Graphics 4000. HIGH SIERRA is already on the machine. Do you guess xcode will work fine with that? This is just the two core model I guess, but I still could increase it to 12 or 16 GB RAM couldn’t I? </p>
