For a little more (ebay showed between 100-150) you could get a used “new 3ds” which is quite good. Easily plays 3DS games, as well as all the older games using the TWiLight Menu app.

You forgot the MacOS Sequoia requires a T2 chip, which is Apple’s version of the TPM 2.0. So claiming it as a negative for Windows but not for MacOS feels very bias.

As for the CPU, MacOS needs a at minimum a 4 core i3 (lowest supported CPU) that’s running at 3.6 GHZ. This is a much higher minimum for Windows 11.

The storage requirements aren’t being compared the same. The MacOS storage listing is how much MacOS storage space is taken and not how large a drive should be to store and run. Windows 11 takes around 27-30 GB of space when installed, which is less than MacOS.

In short, MacOS does take up more resources to run. The difference is Apple is strict in cutting off which systems can run it to prevent the end user from noticing the bloat whereas Windows will let you install it on a much slower base system.

(Yes, you can override the MacOS requirements with open core legacy patcher, but you can also override spec requirements such as the TPM 2.0 requirements of Windows with unofficial patches. The difference is, you’ll notice MacOS starts to get real sluggish on older MacOS because they don’t have that extra power the newer versions need. I noticed it myself when I used OCLP to forcefully upgrade MacOS on unsupported hardware).
