Apple’s budget MacBook Neo is becoming an unexpectedly interesting Windows machine, but only in a very narrow sense. According to Parallels Desktop’s latest compatibility and performance testing, the $599 laptop can run Windows 11 in a virtual machine well enough to make light productivity apps feel snappy, and in one key area it even outpaces a far pricier Dell. That headline sounds more dramatic than the reality: this is a story about single-core responsiveness, not a hidden bargain workstation. For anyone hoping to replace a proper Windows laptop, the limitations still arrive quickly and in force.
