Is a 2012-2013 MacBook pro good enough to learn Unity?

Question

macbook

I'm thinking of buying my younger brother as the first workstation MacBook pro '12 with Avito. Learns little by little to make games on Unity for Android and writes simple programs in C# and Python (12 years old). Interest in poppy is connected only with the great concern of parents that you never know, instead of studying, he will be busy with games.
I don’t see the point in taking something more expensive, since by the age of 17-18 and entering a university I will give a normal workstation. I myself had not encountered poppies before, and doubts crept in whether it would be sufficient in power.

Answer 1

A friend had a poppy of these years. Two years ago, I began to slow down terribly during simple work in Photoshop.
If it’s important to take a MacBook, then you can see the 16th year. They are more or less tenacious and already in a new design.
And if not fundamentally, then a simple Windows machine would be good. Though self-assembled, even a laptop. I can recommend old Dell laptops of the latitude working line. They are both old and new good and reliable.

Answer 2

No, consider something newer
For example 2017-2018

Answer 3

I work on a macbook pro retina 13" 8-256. late 2013.
I'm an ios developer, plus sometimes I have to do something in python for odoo-based systems. great
beech, everything works fine on Big Sur.
a nimble machine for someone not fast enough - either you have a faulty beech or "Galya is your spoiled one."
