TL;DR: A one-year subscription to Parallels Desktop Pro Edition is on sale for £60.87, saving you 20% on list price.
Apple lovers are die-hard when it comes to their gadgets — usually packing a Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and maybe even some accessories to boot. They typically don’t venture too far from what they know, unless it’s necessary. For instance, there are some applications that just run better — or are only available — on Windows. That’s where the right kind of emulation software comes in.
Called the “best and fastest emulation software” by our friends at PCMag and boasting an “outstanding” rating, Parallels Desktop is a top choice when it comes to running Windows on your Mac. And for a limited time, you can get the Pro Edition for the cost of the Standard Edition at just £60.87. That’s 20% off its usual cost until the end of March.
Trusted by over 7 million users, Parallels 17 lets you run over 200,000 Windows apps — like Microsoft Office, Visual Studio, Internet Explorer, QuickBooks, and even games and CAD programs — on your Mac (yes, even your M1) without compromising performance. There’s no need to reboot or close out of everything you’re doing in an effort to speed things up. The software is built to run both Windows and Mac operating systems side by side without slowing down your computer. It’s basically bringing you the best of both worlds.
You can share files and folders, copy and paste text and images, and drag and drop files and content between the two systems seamlessly. And in coherence mode, you can hide the Windows desktop altogether, yet run Windows apps just like Mac apps. Version 17 even claims up to 38 percent faster Windows resume time, so you can get to your apps even quicker. It also features up to 25 percent faster 2D graphics, up to 28 percent faster DirectX 11, smooth Windows UI and video playback, and higher frame rate in games.
Speaking of which, Mac users often use Parallels to get into PC gaming without actually spending money on a new computer. It’s not going to transform your Mac into a high-end PC gaming rig (and probably won’t run the newest games on the market), but it will allow Mac users to dabble in PC gaming.
Parallels is also a solid choice for those who use one operating system for work and another for play — or even those who just want to expand their knowledge and venture out of their comfort zone.
The Parallels Desktop Pro Edition is 20% off for a limited time, knocking the price down to just £60.87.
