Tell me please if Macbook Air 13 (2015) will be good enough to make it trough this course and then make apps with it??

I just would like to know if this mac will be fast enough to deal with this task. Cheers

It's a bit low-end, but I think it'll suffice. I took Treehouse's iOS courses on a Mid-2011 MacBook Air with 2 GB of RAM and a 60 GB SSD, which is literally as low end as you can get. It was very slow, but it got the job done
