It has evolved solidly.
I update every year when the new MacOS comes out, so this year I came out when I thought, "Is it time?"
The latest version of the "Parallels Desktop 16" of the virtualization software "PARALLELS DESKTOP" series, which moves WINODWS and Linux on Mac without restarting, has appeared.
Speaking of Parallels, WWDC has become a hot topic for virtualization demonstrations using "Apple Silicon for SILLELS DESKTOP Prototype" on a Mac equipped with Apple Silicon (announced on PARLELS official blog), but the support for Apple Silicon.If you say!? Unfortunately, the story is still deposited.
According to Parallels's announcement, it seems that some sort of release will be issued in the latter half of this year, so those who are waiting for Apple Silicon will be a little more patient.Well, it hasn't been released for consumers yet.
Compatible with BIG SUR on Intel Mac & the latest version that has expanded to Windows apps
So, this "Parallels Desktop 16" is a virtualization software running in an existing Intel Mac environment.The biggest change is corresponding to MacOS Big Sur.
Apple is abolishing the third -party kernel expansion (KEXT) to improve MacOS security.For this reason, this time, "Parallels Desktop 16" was renewed using the native framework of MacOS BIG SUR.
Also, this year's 16 OpenGL 3.Support 2.Apps that have not been installed so far can be supported.
In terms of specifications, compared to Parallels Desktop 15, the startup speed is doubled in 16 and the Direct X performance is up to 20 %.In addition, the suspended Windows resume has been reduced by 20 %, the recovery to snapshots has been reduced by up to 30 %, and the Linux virtual machine has been reduced by 75 %.Power up all over the place.
In terms of usability, a Mac printer can be used without a driver and supports multi -touch with trackpad.It is said that you can use zoom and rotating gestures in the Windows app.This is convenient for sober!
In addition, "Pro Edition" and "Business Edition" will help you change the name of the custom network, clean up virtual images (VM), and transfer them.A deaf function has also been added.
At the consumer level, the evolution point looks gentle, but it seems that the specifications are up and convenient.
The price is 9818 yen for the regular version of the permanent license, 8345 yen/year for one year's subscription, and 5204 yen for upgrades from the former Parallels Desktop (both price at the official online store).
In the subscription version, there are also academic versions and co -ops that are advantageous from 4400 yen/year, so I bought some Mac from the appearance, but I need a Win app to submit a report ...Bootcamp is good, but this is surely convenient.
