(Opens in a new window) See all (4 items) No extra points for guessing that I prefer the emulation option. The emulation layer option, if it works with the Windows app you want to run, is fast, light on system resources, and free. The Windows virtualization option is pricey (if you want the best performance), consumes disk space and system resources when running, and-if you have a Mac running Apple Silicon-only works with the prerelease ARM version of Windows. The other is to use special software that runs some, but not all, Windows apps in an emulation layer on top of macOS. Your options fall into two broad categories: One is to set up a complete virtual Windows system and run Windows programs within that environment. You’ve got several different choices for running Windows applications on your Apple system.
You’ve switched from a Windows machine to a Mac and you’re probably delighted about the change-that is until you discover that there’s no macOS version of your favorite Windows app or game.
Get the Air 13, it is great and if you need a DVD burner/reader, you can get one for something less than £20.
The difference in performance is not really noticeable as CPU on the Air and the super speed PCIe SSD does not allow really big benchmarking figurrs to come up and decide on specific model purchase. Now my recommendation is to get the Air 2015 or maybe to wait for next generation Airs as they use ultra low voltage. It is a mobile chip, not as that on the U chip on the Air. It is simply because of the Intel chip installed on it. It is not an issue with my Pro 2012, neither with the battery. I tried boot camp on both machines, on the Pro 2012 it heats up, the battery does not go for more than 3 to 4 hours and the heat is just sizzling with boot camp. However, I have also the Mac Air 2015, as you know processors are different and the CPU gen on the 2015 Air is better in terms of power usage, heat and of course the use of PCIe SSD. That made a huge difference in performance, battery life and also heat and noise. I upgraded the RAM to 8GB and replaced the spinning mechanic hard drive with SSD from Samsung. I bought it in 2014 and it had at that time 4GB of ram and 500GB of hDD.
