Even then, expectations were low because, as ZDNet reported, Microsoft's license doesn't support running Windows for Arm on Macs. Expectations, however, were that the M1 Parallels implementation might run Windows for Arm but not Intel Windows applications.

#VIRTUALIZATION FOR MAC M1 SOFTWARE#

When the M1 Macs came out, Parallels announced it could port their virtualization software to Apple Silicon.

I found the ability to switch between Windows Excel and PowerPoint (which still, to this day, have some features not found on the Mac) and my Mac-based graphics and video applications to be a huge win. I've been running various versions of the Parallels virtualization solution on my Intel Macs since I repurchased my 2013 iMac in the day. The M1 platform is still quite fresh.Apple's Mac lineup can be confusing as the company transitions from Intel processors to its own Apple Silicon processors. M1 are great, compatiliby is good and keeps getting better but it still not perfect.

Really, best is to stick with what your university suggests, unless you're confident you can tinker and if you don't mind having to catch up at home sometimes because it took you two entire hours to install the things on your M1 macbook when your classmates installed it in 10 minutes with their laptops because they followed the university suggestions. 'Python doesn't work it throws me errors when I run it, crap internets tells me some dependencies on this distrubition are broken atm' 'I'm on this linux distro, the package isn't available yet. 'I'm on mac, shit I have to download xcode for this to work, see ya later all' 'I'm on windows, on which website should I download the software ?' In higher degrees, we could bring our laptops and it was a mess. Honestly if your uni doesn't recommend a M1, don't go for a M1 and avoid the headaches.Īlso have a CS degree and for some stupid reason, uni wouldn't always let us bring our laptops at all. Gives you more space for your VM and your Xcode or other development tools of choice.

Just spend a little more for the 16GB RAM version if doing a lot of development work in virtualization. Get clarification for the lab requirements and if ARM distributions of Linux and others are fine, then you'll be good to go with an M1 MacBook. I suspect Intel based virtualization will eventually be possible, but is not currently an offering. So virtualization for ARM based OS environments is currently supported. If the virtualization need is just to run other OS distributions, and they can be ARM based, then Parallels 16.5 will work very nicely. If you must run 'intel' virtualized 'lab experiments', then you should look at an Intel MacBook for now. And is quite speedy, but that's not a benefit from the Parallels virtualization but part of Microsoft's efforts as they move forward with their own ARM based designs.

Windows 10 ARM64 as of the build that I'm running also provides 32bit and 圆4 support for Intel apps via Microsoft's translation software. I have Parallels Desktop 16.5 for my M1 MacBook Air and absolutely love it! However, it doesn't run Intel based virtualization and means that I'm running Linux ARM and Windows 10 ARM64 (insider edition) on my M1 MBA.
