    iMac Pro - Parallels or VMware Fusion

    While I used Macbook and iOS devices for quite a while, I just moved as my main machine from a 6 core i7 Windows to iMac Pro (10 core, 64 GB RAM). I couldn't be happier with the switch with the power of the machine and how quiet it is. However I have instances where I still need some Windows...

    Will High Sierra run a VM faster with a 2013 Macbook Air?

    I run a Macbook mid 2013 1.7 with 8Gb ram and I'm holding off on getting a new Macbook Pro with Kabby Lake because I upgraded to Windows 10 and the newest version of VMWare Fusion and Windows runs pretty good and Visual Studio (latest) runs pretty good as well inside the VM.

    Vmware Fusion Repartition Fail

    My husband has VMware Fusion installed on his Macbook Pro. He initially allocated a lot of space to the Windows partition, thinking he would use it. He hasn't needed it, but is out of space on the Mac side, and wanted to change this. I tried to repartition it using what I found in this article...
