Mac mini

Hi

Will parallels run ok on the Mac mini if I want to have at least 3 os running at the same time?. There are three mac minis the basic the mid and the advanced.

Sorry I'm a newbie here and novice concerning mac.

Hi Shaun,
Yes Parallels will run on a Mac mini, refer to this article to see the system requirements of Parallels Desktop. You can also have multiple OS running at the same time.

 

The most limiting factor is the amount of RAM available, as it will have to be divided between the Host the the Guest OSs, if you want to have at least 3 OS running, and this depends a lot on each of these OSs requirements, you really shouldn't have less than 8 GB of RAM, however, the Mac Mini uses integrated graphics which doesn't have it's own memory and uses the RAM (1.5 GB). So, again, nothing less than 8 GB of total RAM.

 

Ty guys, very helpful.
