Comment on Top Apple analyst says MacBook demand has fallen 'significantly'

  I am not sure if you can not, but ARM doesn’t come with hardware level virtualization features many of the solutions today depend on. VBox for example doesn’t want to run until I enable those in BIOS. It’s certainly is possible to emulate anything, but probably less efficiently.

  For the same reason you can’t run Windows 11 Pro on your phone. The chip architecture.

    As weird as it sounds you can (with poor performance). With something like Limbo or Termux you can actually get Windows or any x86 OS running underneath Android on a phone.

    Fun project maybe, but not really utilitarian though. Never used apple so can’t actually report on how well their emulation and/or translation layer is working on Arm.

    You might want to tell that to the people who make Parallels.

  We can use parallels, just not to run x86 windows.
