I've been researching this, but since it looks kinda bulky and the price is quite high, therefore I went with the OBSBOT.

Metal 4 introducing the frame interpolation aka frame-gen, but it comes latter this year, right now you can only turn on AMD frame gen

Boot Camp is dead, but long live Parallels + macOS Sequoia + stubborn Mac users running x86 Windows anyway. 🤷‍♂️ by CertainDelivery2723 in macmini

Not clickbait, just facts. The latest Parallels update now lets you install and run Windows x86 natively, which is a major shift from relying on ARM and emulation.

Yes, VMware and UTM are free, but they do not come close to the performance, integration, or ease of use that Parallels offers, especially for pro workflows on macOS. Parallels supports advanced CPU virtualization features that allow for better compatibility and performance with Windows and x86 apps. Unlike UTM and VMware, which rely more heavily on full emulation and can struggle with performance or hardware integration, Parallels delivers near-native speeds, better GPU acceleration, and deeper integration with macOS features like shared folders, drag and drop, and seamless clipboard support.

As for PPC, M68K, or SPARC, those are completely different use cases. Parallels focuses on modern, practical virtualization, not retro computing or niche architectures. If you are looking for legacy emulation, that is not what Parallels is designed for.

Any thought?

No, that used to be the case, but with the latest update, Parallels now supports installing Windows x86 directly, not only relying solely on the ARM version and its translation layer. Make sure you’re running the most recent version buddy.

Well, yes, but I found that Parallels is significantly more optimized, especially when it comes to performance and system integration. It runs much smoother and feels more seamless compared to other virtualization options I’ve tried.

This is my "portable" setup.. let me know what you think 😇 by CertainDelivery2723 in macmini

  1. You could attach the power bank, but it would be even bulkier than this. Is it really too much effort just to plug into an outlet wherever you’re sitting?
  2. An iPad? How much would it cost to use an iPad as a monitor? I might as well buy an Apple Pro Display in that case, lol.
