DirectX graphics perform 28% better, the company says. On M1-based Macs, the Windows 10 Insider Preview launches up to 33% faster, has 20% faster disc performance. Corel says Parallels has performance gains in a variety of metrics on both kinds of Macs, including 38 percent faster resumes from suspension for Windows and Linux six times faster OpenGL graphics and a 25% boost for 2D graphics.Parallels 17 can only run Windows 10 and 11 from Microsoft, only macOS Monterey and only four flavors of Linux. However, the guest operating system options are more limited on an M1 Mac. And the Intel version officially supports 12 different distros of Linux. You can also run as a guest OS legacy versions of macOS back to OS X Lion. Codeweavers built a translation layer that lets you use x86/64 apps on macOS, as well as M1 chips.ĭefinitely look up stuff online such as YouTube videos to verify your applications work on parallels/crossover before investing in such a big purchase, especially since you’re a college student.On an Intel Mac, as in the past you can run older versions of Windows, going all the way back to Windows 2000. You could also consider using the new Crossover 21 by codeweavers if PowerBI or any other software you’re going to use doesn’t work on ARM Windows 10/11.
U could try another virtual machine (forgot the name) that can boot up x86/64 windows but it is so slow that I wouldn’t even consider that route. Parallels can only boot up the ARM version of windows and not the x86/64 one. Get the 16gb and allocate atleast 8gb to windows.įurthermore, make sure Power BI and whatever other software you are using is compatible with the ARM version of windows 10/11. Pretty much all college campuses have WiFi throughout, so iCloud shouldn’t be a problem if you go that route.Īnd also, just imagine running windows with 4gb ram, let alone virtually.
U can always get a external SSD or more iCloud space. The 16gb is more of a need while the 512gb SSD is less of a need if that makes sense. Simple answer - get the 16gb one, and if you have the money and need it, get 512gb SSD.
