Risk of buying a 2011 Mac Mini i7 2.0

[Jason_297]

One of my coworkers is selling a 2011 Mac Mini i7 2.0 with 16GB RAM, quad core, dual spinning HD:

These are selling for $550-$600 or so, he offered to sell it for $500.

What are the risks of buying a Mini from 2011? (unable to upgrade to latest software at some point, components failing, etc)

The condition of this device is very good.

thanks in advance!

I plan to use it to produce and edit music using Ableton.
