    Anyone running Parallels Desktop 15 on the 2020 MacBook Air? How does it perform? What processor do you have?

    I'm debating between getting a MacBook Air with either the i5 or i7 or get the just-updated 2020 13" MacBook Pro.

    While I'd still love to hear feedback on Parallels performance, this comparison article has some useful insights:
    Though I disagree that the Touch Bar is an advantage of the Pro; IMO the function keys on the Air is the advantage!

    I'd recommend the Pro if you will be using Parallels heavily. The extra CPU power will come in handy. The Air would be fine for occasional use of Parallels.
