Apple’s MacBook Neo is great for emulating basic Windows 11 apps

Last week, Parallels Desktop confirmed that Windows 11 can run on Apple’s budget-friendly MacBook Neo after initial compatibility testing by the engineering team, marking a step in narrowing the gap between macOS hardware and Microsoft’s operating system.

Many users indicated that 8GB of unified memory barely scratches the surface for basic daily use. However, after completing full performance and compatibility testing, Parallels Desktop recently indicated that “Windows 11 running in a Parallels virtual machine on MacBook Neo delivers approximately 20% higher single-core CPU performance than natively on the Dell computer.”
