Is this laptop good enough for Sonoma?

Is this laptop good enough for Sonoma?

Before I ask anything, I apologize. I hope I'm not at the wrong place to ask questions. Also, English is my fifth language so please be patient with me. If this post is considered inappropriate for this place, there is no need to ban me, I'll delete the post. Thank you in advance.

I want to install Sonoma on this device ( setup in the picture ) since it only costs 200€.

1.a. Will this setup be good enough for everything to be smooth? ( She's gonna use it for storage purposes, browsing the web, office, et cetera ).

1.b. Also, iServices are imperative to be functional. I'm buying my sister an IPhone with AirPods Pro 2nd. It was a fortune already and I can't afford a MacBook. I need those iMessages, calls, AirDrop, AirPods connection to work, ergo, all of the hustle.

  1. If this setup is not " it ", can some of you that understand this thing better help me out by finding the right kind of a laptop? It just needs to be affordable, smooth for basic functions, and iService ready.

  2. Do I need separate WiFi/BT antenna/dongle to buy in order for iServices to work?


Also, I'll try to test this thing on my PC in case the laptops are expensive. Here are the specs:

R5 5600X ( Vermeer ) 6750XT ( Navy Flounder ) 32GB DDR4 MoBo: A520M-K 1TB NVME

  1. I couldn't find the EFI for non-Intel processors.

  2. I don't have built in a Wi-Fi/BT card into this excuse of a motherboard so it wouldn't be able to provide her those iServices.

  3. In case I manage to install this thing with the help for the things above, are there USB dongles/cards or whatever that I could plug in ( in USB ports, not mobo ) and enable those services or does it needs to be plugged into the motherboard?

  4. ( For PC only: How do I dual boot all of the above with Win11 ).

Guys, thank you so much in advance and sorry to overwhelm you with so many information. Also, I beg of you to stick to the topic. No, she doesn't need Linux installed. I'll appreciate highly if I get answers for the things I only asked or. Blessed be.
