Cost-Savings of Using Parallels vs. Buying an Additional PC
One of the most significant advantages of Parallels Desktop is its potential cost savings compared to purchasing a separate Windows PC. Here's how it can save money:
1. Eliminating the Need for a Separate Windows Machine
- Depending on the specifications, a mid-range Windows laptop or desktop can cost anywhere from $600–$1,900 (£500–£1,500).
- Parallels Desktop starts at $99.99/£89.99 per year for the Standard Edition (or a one-time payment of $129.99/£104.99 for the perpetual license of Parallels 19).
- Depending on the edition, a Windows 11 license costs approximately $140–$250 (£120–£220).
- Even when factoring in the cost of Parallels and Windows, this is still far cheaper than buying an entirely new PC.
2. No Extra Hardware Costs
- A second PC means extra peripherals (monitor, keyboard, mouse) if it's a desktop.
- It also means extra maintenance and potential repair costs over time.
- Parallels lets you use your existing Mac hardware, so investing in another machine is unnecessary.
3. Space & Energy Savings
- Running a Windows PC alongside a Mac takes up desk space, whereas Parallels runs Windows within macOS.
- A separate PC also consumes additional power, adding to electricity costs.
- If you're on the go, you avoid carrying an extra laptop by keeping everything on your Mac.
4. Lower IT and Software Costs
- IT teams and businesses benefit from reduced device management and licensing costs.
- Running them through Parallels can be cheaper than maintaining two computers if you only need Windows for specific applications (like Microsoft Office, AutoCAD, or finance software).
5. Faster Workflows = Time Savings
- Switching between macOS and a separate Windows PC can slow down productivity.
- With Parallels' Coherence Mode, Windows apps run alongside Mac apps, eliminating the need to switch between devices.
- Improved workflow saves valuable time, which translates to increased productivity and potential financial benefits.
Conclusion
Parallels Desktop is a leading solution for running Windows on a Mac, offering speed, ease of use, and deep integration with macOS. If you need Windows applications without the hassle of rebooting or maintaining a separate PC, it's a solid investment—especially if you're using an Apple Silicon Mac.
Beyond the convenience, the cost savings are significant. Instead of purchasing and maintaining a separate Windows machine, you can achieve the same functionality at a fraction of the cost—while saving desk space, energy, and time switching between devices.
