For Windows only apps, I use mostly Crossover or Wine if you prefer free. Parallels just for fun.Any news on bootcamp? Suddenly realized there is specific software i need only tuns windows 🤦 now yet to pull trigger on M1 mac This post has been edited by soonwai: Apr 16 2021, 01:52 PM |

Keep in mind that Parallels runs Windows 10 ARM not x64. Regular x64 Windows apps won't run on it so this is not an option if you use specialized Windows apps that don't have an ARM binary.

For MS Office I will be only using Word and Powerpoint so Excel things won't me issue for me. Guess will be settle for 16+512 sooner because my old MBA 2014 is giving up soon. Btw my sister is currently study in Uni so can I take her advantage to order via K12? But she already got one Intel MBP via K12 too. |

Yep, it only does that the very first time you open it. I think that's when it does the x86-M1 translation. It also happens after every MacOS update. Probably bcos Rosetta 2 got updated?So means only the first time starting Premiere Pro will be slightly slow right?

I just upgraded to 11.3 beta 8 so I timed PPro 14.9 launching: First time: 1 min 9 secs Did a few other things then tried again later: 7 secs After restart: 25 secs I think 16/512 is nice sweet spot for MacBooks. My Mac mini, I went with 16/256 and added a 2TB Thunderbolt external. But personally I won't buy a MBP unless you need the extra battery life, fans and TouchBar. Cos all 3 M1 models now are basically the same performance. If really want a Pro machines, maybe wait till next week's Apple Event to see if got any M1X announcements. Not sure about 2 MBPs but I bought 1 MBA and 1 mini with my daughter's edu.my email. This post has been edited by soonwai: Apr 18 2021, 01:18 AM |

The last problem is that Win 10 ARM is not actually available for purchase but it can be activated with a normal Win 10 key. This post has been edited by soonwai: Apr 17 2021, 06:41 PM |

I don't need the fancy touchbar actually but MBA doesn't have fan, I just can't accept laptop without fan if not I will just settle with it since cheaper price |

Do be wary that, Rosetta 2 apps might have memory leak (it could be due to the app itself). I'm using Azure Data Studio which runs via Rosetta 2. After a few sleeps, the app performance is really bad, even after restarting the app. Usually after rebooting PC, then performance is back to normal.
So take note of that. |

Actually that is what thing I wanted to know. With the M1 chip is the Macbook able to run the x86 virtual machines and Docker images without any issues? If I am not mistaken, QEMU is used for virtualisation on macOS.But Parallels M1 has a limitation that it'll only do 64-bit Windows apps, 32-bit tak boleh.

I am also curious to know if the 2021 MacBook Pros are going to be available in different colours like the iMac.
