The new M2-chip MacBook Air works better with Windows 11 than many PCs designed for the operating system.
Apple computers are fundamentally designed to run the company’s own macOS operating system. However, the truth is that there are some programs that are still only available for Windows or Linuxand precisely for this same reason, many users take the opportunity to install other operating systems on their computers.
When it comes to installing Windows 11 on a Mac, the truth is that there are many options available. In the past, it was possible to do this through Boot Camp, a software that was recently updated but still does not leave computers with an Intel processor. However, thanks to third-party programs, it is possible to virtualize it on computers with this type of chip, and it is curious that Windows 11 runs better on a MacBook Air with an M2 chip than on many PCs
Windows 11 runs better on the new MacBook Air than on many Windows PCs
As we mentioned, one of the most popular alternatives that exist to install Windows 11 on a Mac computer is Parallel office. We are talking about software that allows you to use the ARM version of the operating system, which surprisingly, according to a video by Maximum technology looks work even better than on a PC high-end company Dell.
In the video in question, Geekbench benchmark test performed, thanks to which it is possible to put a note on any self-respecting processor. Both running the latest version of Windows 11, the Macbook Air
However, results changed when plugging in a Dell laptop to electric current. Apparently, this type of equipment does not work so well with a battery, and although in the single-core test it only got 1548still outperformed by the M2-chip MacBook Air, in the multicore it reached 8103 points.
It is important to note that we are not talking about equipment with considerable price differences. In fact, the Dell XPS competed with the MacBook Air turns out to cost $250 more in the US market
Currently, there is no possibility to install Windows 11 on a Mac with an Apple Silicon processor any other way than using an emulator due to brand restrictions, but if it could be done, it’s quite clear that it would be able to work better than on computers designed to run Windows of the same price range.
Furthermore, one of the details in which Maximum technology a particular accent is linked to the drums. Whereas any MacBook with one of the M1 chips or the new M2 chip lasts a long timeWindows computers with processors from companies such as Intel or AMD consume significantly more power, then offer performance which, in some cases, is even lower.
