The answer wasn’t entirely clear at the time. Shortly after the laptop was launched, Parallels developers warned that their Parallels Desktop software was not yet available on MacBookIt was not tested on the Neo, so the question was how the hardware would cope with the Parallels solution. And we now know in part. 

Parallels confirmed a few hours ago via its social media that virtualization on MacBookworks on Neo. Specifically, it is already clear that Parallels Desktop is on MacBook Neo installs without any problems and virtual machines run stably on it.
