Apple hat die M5-Ära in Hardware und Marketing faktisch eingeläutet: das erste sichtbare Ergebnis ist ein aktualisiertes 14‑Zoll MacBook Pro mit M5‑SoC, flankiert von einem M5‑iPad Pro und einer Vision‑Pro‑Variante — und die Industriegerüchte deuten darauf hin, dass die M5‑Familie 2026 deutlich...
For many long-time Windows users the past 18 months have felt like a slow-motion erosion of trust: once-reliable workflows interrupted by buggy updates, a growing sense that stability and predictability were being traded for experimental AI features, and, increasingly, a willingness to consider...
Microsoft and Apple are no longer merely competitors in hardware and OS design; they are staking out two fundamentally different bets on how artificial intelligence will be delivered, monetized, and governed across consumer and enterprise markets—one centered on cloud-led, seat‑based...
Apple’s move to a 2‑nanometer A20 chipset for the iPhone 18 is shaping up to be both a technological leap and a commercial puzzle: the shift to TSMC’s Gate‑All‑Around (GAA) nanosheet transistors promises meaningful gains in performance and power efficiency, but industry reports now place the...
Apple is planning a staged MacBook refresh that will extend Apple Silicon’s AI-first momentum into 2026 with an M5-powered MacBook Air line and higher‑end M5 Pro / M5 Max MacBook Pro updates — and industry chatter now includes a separate low‑cost MacBook allegedly aimed at the $599–$699 band...
Apple quietly removed roughly two dozen products from its storefront and catalog over 2025, a summer‑to‑winter series of model retirements that included the symbolic end of the iPhone SE line and the phasing out of several MacBook Air M3 variants — a calculated rationalisation of Apple’s product...
Microsoft’s Copilot has landed on macOS as a native desktop app, bringing Microsoft’s conversational AI, image generation, and cross-device workflows to Apple silicon Macs while crystallizing a broader industry shift toward platform‑agnostic desktop assistants.

There are far fewer reasons to run a full Windows install on a Mac in 2025 than there were three decades ago, yet for a shrinking — still important — slice of users the question is as practical as it is technical. Mark Lyndersay’s column captures that evolution: from SoftWindows and Connectix...
Paralives’ PC and macOS system requirements are finally public, and they set a clear — and in some ways surprising — baseline for what kind of hardware will run the studio’s ambitious life-sim when it arrives in Early Access. The headline: the Windows minimum calls for a midrange CPU and a 12 GB...
Running Windows 11 on an Apple Silicon Mac is no longer a niche hack — it’s a mainstream, supported workflow for many users thanks to mature virtualization tools like Parallels Desktop, which now ships with explicit support for Apple’s latest macOS releases and Windows 11 ARM builds. This...
Apple’s latest product and platform moves rewired two different parts of the computing landscape this week: Apple pushed the new M5 system-on-chip into a refreshed 14‑inch MacBook Pro, an M5‑equipped iPad Pro and an updated Vision Pro, while Microsoft formally closed the Windows 10 support...
Apple’s hardware and the retail world both moved this week — but the implications are very different: Apple introduced the M5 system-on-chip across the 14‑inch MacBook Pro, iPad Pro and Vision Pro, Microsoft formally closed the Windows 10 support chapter on October 14, 2025, and Walmart...
Microsoft is pouring megabucks and marketing muscle into a narrative that Copilot+ PCs — Windows machines with on-device neural engines and specially tuned Windows subsystems — will remake personal and enterprise computing. The message is clear: these machines are faster than Macs, sip far less...

Apple’s macOS 26 “Tahoe” and Microsoft’s Windows 11 no longer compete on the same flat plane — Tahoe doubles down on a design‑led, privacy‑first desktop infused with on‑device intelligence, while Windows 11 pushes AI into a broadly compatible, enterprise‑ready platform that still owns gaming and...

Apple's macOS Tahoe and Microsoft's Windows 11 now occupy distinctly different strategic positions: Apple is pushing an aesthetic and intelligence-led evolution that treats the desktop as a personal, context-aware companion, while Microsoft continues to fold AI into a broadly compatible...
Parallels Desktop 26 arrives as a major compatibility and management update for Mac users who run Windows and legacy applications inside virtual machines, adding full support for Apple’s forthcoming macOS 26 “Tahoe,” compatibility with Microsoft’s Windows 11 25H2 update, clearer host-disk...
Parallels Desktop 26 arrives as a pragmatic, compatibility‑first update that brings day‑one support for macOS 26 (Tahoe) and prepares virtual machines for Windows 11 25H2, while reshaping Parallels’ versioning, sharpening enterprise management tools, and fixing long‑standing integration friction...

Parallels Desktop 26 for Mac arrived as a significant, broadly compatible virtualization update — offering full support for Apple’s forthcoming macOS Tahoe and Microsoft’s Windows 11 25H2, along with measured performance improvements and a suite of new enterprise management features that aim to...
Parallels Desktop 26 arrives as a pragmatic but consequential update: it formally aligns Parallels’ product numbering with Apple’s year-based macOS naming, adds day‑one compatibility for macOS Tahoe (macOS 26) and Windows 11 25H2, and layers in a set of enterprise‑grade management and compliance...
Parallels Desktop’s latest update lands as a consequential bridge between macOS’s year-based refresh cycle and the Windows ecosystem, delivering official macOS Tahoe compatibility while tightening enterprise controls and Windows VM reliability for the post-2024 OS landscape. The release —...
