It could work, but its pretty long in the tooth. Its a 2011 model. 4GB RAM is not enough these days. It is user-upgradable. USB 2.0 ports are frustratingly slow and, shall I say, less reliable than 3.0 and above. That model is at is maximum OS support (10.13). That is also the oldest OS that is g

See if it sits within the models that can be upgraded to MacOS 10.15 . . . The A1311 was released in late 2011 and can only be updated to MacOS 10.13.6 ! If you can get your hands on a Late 2012 Mac mini that will upgrade to MacOS 10.15: https://www.kijiji.ca/v-ordinateurs-de-bureau/ville-d

Get an Intel Nuc. By far the cheapest, easiest and fastest way to get a Hackintosh up and running. Lots of youtube about it and tonnes of helpful people with excellent advice. Works out better than an actual Mac Mini by far. And dual bootable for Linux and Windows too. Sean Cole *Pi Digital * On
