Parallels Desktop for Mac Pro Edition
Overall Satisfaction with Parallels Desktop
We use Parallels [Desktop] strictly because we are an Apple company, but the technical writing software we use is only available on Windows.
Pros
- It allows easy back and forth between operating systems. Can access all my Mac documents within my Parallels [Desktop] instance.
- [It] is a fully functioning Windows operating system on my MacBook.
Cons
- My MacBook gets incredibly hot when I run Parallels [Desktop]. Like scorching hot.
- My MacBook's battery only lasts 1 hour when running Parallels [Desktop}. Normally will last over 4 hours.
- We needed to run the best-in-class technical writing software, and the only way to do that on a Mac was through something like Parallels [Desktop].
- [It] allowed us to run the necessary software without purchasing PCs, which would be a big overhaul for security and company processes.
