This is just an ad for Parallels Desktop.
I am running Windows 11 Pro on an M2 Mac laptop with VMWare Fusion, which does not cost $100 a year. In fact, it is free. I got the Windows 11 Pro license for $30 on a Black Friday deal.
I was not interested in buying a new Intel Windows laptop, and serious Arm Windows laptops aren't here yet. So for me, this IS the best Windows laptop. I don't play games, it updates just fine, and everything I need to run is running fine including Office 2021 ($50 on Black Friday) and Visual Studio. I have already re-compiled a few things of my own for Arm, even though the Intel versions ran fine on Arm.
I am just moving away from Intel. Done with the heat, the fans and the poor battery life. In a couple years, you won't be able to give away Intel laptops. This already happened to Intel Macs.
