#PARALLELS 13 FOR MAC REVIEW UPDATE#
The update also delivers up to 47 percent faster performance when running Windows on the Mac, up to 50 percent faster Snapshot creation, and near-native read/write speeds from external Thunderbolt SSDs. Retina Display owners-nearly half of all Parallels Desktop users-will see improvements in scaled resolutions, while resizing VM windows is now much smoother. It wouldn’t be a new version without a few enhancements to existing features. One or more VMs can now run in picture-in-picture mode, complete with live updates and opacity control. This allows users to monitor activity and works even when a video is playing PiP windows are semi-translucent by default, but you can adjust to fully opaque using a slider in settings. PD13 also taps into the picture-in-picture support introduced in macOS Sierra, allowing one or more VM windows to collapse into a small floating view. (The latest Windows Insider build is also required for now.)
PD13 cleverly delivers these favorites to the macOS Dock instead, but is currently limited to the stock Windows Mail app.

This time around it’s People Bar, a new feature in the forthcoming Windows 10 Fall Creators Update which consolidates favorite contact information into the Taskbar. Parallels Desktop 13 does an admirable job of adopting PC-only features on the Mac.

It does take a little time to set up and some buttons won’t work in certain Windows apps, but this is otherwise a slick addition for MacBook Pro owners. Located under the View menu, Touch Bar Wizard allows Parallels users to customize which Windows commands are displayed for the current application, just like they already do on macOS-in fact, Parallels uses the exact same pop-up configuration panel. But what about the thousands of other available Windows 10 apps? Most of them are supported too, but some assembly is required. Microsoft Office 2016 applications are also imbued with Touch Bar capabilities, offering multiple command sets depending upon what you’re doing in the app. Parallels Desktop 13 brings Touch Bar to Windows 10, and delivers the upcoming People Bar to your macOS Dock as well. That’s because key features of Windows 10 will now appear on the Touch Bar while a VM is running, a feature that works straight away for the Start Menu, Cortana, Desktop, File Explorer, and popular web browsers like Edge, Chrome, and Firefox. If you own a MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, Parallels Desktop 13 for Mac is a must-have upgrade. Apple and Microsoft have settled into annual update schedules for macOS and Windows, which means you can expect virtualization software dependent upon both platforms to arrive around the same time. The latest edition of Parallels Desktop is not only ready for macOS High Sierra, but already supports the forthcoming Windows 10 Fall Creators Update as well.
