Apple’s move to its own processors in the M1 MacBook Air and M1 MacBook Pro have left some power users with a problem: their shiny new Macs don’t do Boot Camp, so they can’t run Windows apps. So hurrah for Parallels, whose latest version of Parallels Desktop for Mac fully supports M-series Macs – just in time for the MacBook Pro 2021, which we’re expecting to see next week at Apple's 'Spring Loaded' event on April 20th.
Parallels Desktop 16.5 for Mac is the first version of the venerable virtualisation app to run a version of Windows on M1 processors, enabling M1 Macs to run Windows apps as if they were using a PC… well, sort of, as we'll explain below.
The really good news is that, according to Parallels, Windows apps run at native speeds, which means in many cases they’ll run faster than on Intel-powered PCs thanks to Apple’s speedy silicon. The app also enables M1 Macs to run Linux variants, if you prefer.
M1 Macs run Windows faster – but there's a catch
Parallels says that running the latest Parallels Desktop on an M1 Mac delivers up to 30% better performance than on a 2019 15-inch MacBook Pro with an Intel Core i9 processor, Radeon Pro Vega 20 graphics and 32GB of RAM – and it also says that on the M1 Macs, Parallels Desktop uses 2.5x less energy than the latest Intel-powered MacBook Air.
Controlly is now available on the Mac App Store, and it requires macOS Big Sur to work.You can try it for free for seven days and then unlock the full app with a $3.99 in-app purchase. Buy MacBook Pro 13' starting at $1199 with education pricing. And get AirPods. All systems Pro. The Apple M1 chip gives the 13‑inch MacBook Pro speed and power beyond belief. With up to 2.8x CPU performance. Up to 5x the graphics speed. Our most advanced Neural Engine for up to 11x faster machine learning.
We mentioned a catch, and that’s that the version of Windows we’re talking about with these performance increases isn’t the standard Windows 10, which runs happily on Intel-powered Macs. It’s the Windows 10 ARM Insider Preview version. The ARM version of Windows is used on machines with non-Intel processors, and not every Windows app actually runs on it.
Even more of a spanner is that Windows on ARM isn’t currently on sale to the general public without a computer attached to it, so that means M1 Mac users who aren’t signed up as Windows Insiders won’t be able to enjoy Windows on their Macs just yet.
But it now means that it's possible, which is a huge step forward itself. Microsoft could make this version of Windows available, and M1 Macs could run it. That wasn't true for these machines before now, and it makes their future even brighter and more exciting.
Hi community!
Gta vice city pc game full version free download.
Rarely am I beaten by software. But the lack of discussion on this topic has defeated me.
I'm trying to stream the Xbox one to my late 2015 MacBook Pro with Retina display, and I'm failing to do so. Every time the connection is established, a second after and the whole Xbox app that I'm running in the latest version on windows 10 through the latest version of boot camp, crashes and closes down.
I've visited a few forums here and there, with the general theme of the issue being related to the AMD graphics card.
Xbox App For Mac Os
I'm wondering if anyone else with the similar mac and Xbox has had any similar issues.
Macbook Pro 13 Inch
P.S. I've ran the stream test (those of you with xboxs will know what I mean) with all test receiving a successful tick mark. I've also noticed the app crashes when I'm trying to play a captured video uploaded by the live community.
Any help much appreciated.
