There’s one major improvement on the hardware side, too. This year’s release isn’t just about software. Although public betas of Catalina mostly worked fine as a VM in PD14, an update to Parallels Desktop 15 arriving shortly after Cupertino pushes out the operating system in October will include further optimizations, plus additional support for new features like Sidecar, Sign in with Apple, and system extensions. Virtualized hardwareĪs usual, Parallels Desktop 15 for Mac remains in lock step with the latest macOS.
PD15 also boasts a “faster and more responsive” user interface, although launching the host application felt just a hair slower than last year.
Launching Microsoft Office apps in Windows now happens in the blink of an eye-in our tests, less than three seconds for Word and Excel. The folks at Parallels have managed to eke out a little more performance for popular productivity software, too. Parallels is quick to note that DirectX 11 support relies heavily on the CPU and graphics in your Mac, so owners of newer hardware will benefit most. Formerly incompatible 3D graphics software like Autodesk 3ds Max not only launches but runs surprisingly well considering how GPU-intensive it can be.
