You like what machine type you like and I like what machine type I like.įourth, because of memory and space needs for utilizing SAS, I do need to it under a Windows VM and I have been using VM Fusion running some version of Windows OS (currently version 10), successfully for years (like nearly my entire career) and I work seamlessly between the VM and other apps running on the Mac. I will not go over to what I call the "dark side" and utilize some type of completely windows OS based machine. Third, I like a Mac and have been using one for nearly my entire career. Second, I work for a academic institution that has not (and I have no idea if they plan to) moved to SAS Viya and we are only licensed for SAS for Windows.
So I am going to have to purchase a MacBook Pro with an M1 chip.įirst, I cannot utilize SAS ODA as many of my datasets are at least a TB in size and that would preclude being able to upload them. My institution is unable to purchase a MacBook Pro with an Intel chip (i9 specifically) that has adequate memory and space needs. My current machine (a MacBook Pro manufactured in 2017) is on the "unable to support" list now due to it's age and I need to get a new machine. I think answered some questions on this topic, but I thought the fastest way to get an answer would be on communities. Otherwise, the majority of users will be pleased with the speeds on offer, enabling them to draw out impressive performance from their ARM-based silicon for Windows 10.Not quite sure where to post this so I chose Admin. That should be pretty neat and useful for users locked into Windows programs.įor some users, this will be a functional stopgap to tide them over if they've been affected by the lack of Boot Camp on the M1 Macs before - if ever - Boot Camp makes its debut on the new Macs. One such feature, Coherence Mode, lets users run Windows programs on their MacBooks as though they were native Mac apps. Parallels Desktop hits a home runĪpart from running Windows 10 at nippy speeds, Parallels Desktop 16 brings a slew of other useful features. There's also a 30% overall uptick in virtual machine performance on the ARM-based Windows 10 build on the M1 Mac, compared to a Windows 10 VM on an Intel-based MacBook Pro. Significant increases in performance and battery improvement have been reported by Parallels Desktop owner Corel.Īccording to Corel's results (opens in new tab), the 16.5 update reportedly uses up to "250% less energy" on the M1 Mac than on the MacBook Air fitted with the Intel chipset. With that said, it's about as close as you can get to the real thing without jumping ship and forking out for a Windows model from our best laptops.
