Free Windows 11 on UTM 4.1 vs Paid Parallels 19 on Mac - Speed Test, Performance. What's Better?

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In this video I am comparing the 2 most popular Virtualization software solutions for macOS. Parallels 19 vs UTM 4.1. Parallels is Paid and starts at 99$ per year and UTM is completely FREE - it's an open-source application.
There are several virtual machine software programs available for Mac, such as already mentioned Parallels Desktop and UTM but also VMWare Fusion, and VirtualBox. These programs vary in features, performance, and pricing, so it's important to do your research and choose the one that best suits your needs.
To be honest, the best virtual machine that exists for macOS is definitely Parallels Desktop 18. No one will argue with this fact. It has a graphical, accelerator and the overall user experience is really good. But it's paid and pretty expensive.
In this video, I want to help you decide whether you need to purchase Parallels Desktop 18 for your particular usage or if should you go with free software which is the UTM app.
I will discuss all the important points, pros, and cons of both Windows 11 VM Solutions and I hope after watching this video you will be able to decide whether you need to invest in Parallels Desktop 18 or whether the free UTM app is more than enough for you. I will demonstrate to you how both Windows 11 Virtual Machines are performing the same tasks on my MacBook Pro 16 M1 Pro with 16GB of Memory.
If you want to support me please like this video and subscribe to my KZread channel for more tech-oriented content.
Why would you like to have Windows on your MacBook? The reasons can be multiple: for example you would like to use a special type of software that exists only on Windows or you would like to play PC games on your Mac and you don’t have Windows computer as a second machine. Which is the reason I decided to install Windows 11 on my M1 pro 16-inch MacBook. The M1 Pro & M2 Processors are very good at running Virtual Machine.

    Hi Refinery, Parallels desktop app is pretty demanding on resources. If you will be using it on your Mac, without being plugged into a charger, obviously your battery life will be reduced. It depends. You will be playing games it will drain the battery pretty fast. If you are using just simple office apps on Windows it will be ok for a day of usage. If you’re not using your virtual machine temporary it freezes. So it’s not consuming battery 🪫

    UTM and parallels desktop are not the same in terms of everyday usage. In fact UTM is unbearably slow since it limits the processor to only 1 GHz. Combine the fact that you’re using windows 11 on 1 ghz and the lack of graphics virtualization and you are off to a very sluggish experience. You’ll be able to run basic things Microsoft Access or SPSS if you want to, but it will be a pain in the but to run those apps. Watching videos on KZread is impossible as well. I personally recommend VMware virtual machine. It is paid software but free for personal use. It is fast and has good virtualization capabilities.

    Hi, I think you will not be able to use UTM for editing 3D objects as it doesn't have a graphics accelerator.

You can go to the settings of your MacBook and activate all gestures for your trackpad (additional gestures). The just open Windows 11 on one desktop and go to full-screen mode. Using 3 fingers (swipe left or right) you can switch between systems.
