Parallel or boot camp for mac? Which is better to run?

How and what does parallels software do for mac?

I am a prospective mechanical engineer and have been told that I will need a PC for some specific programs. I am just wondering if these programs can actually be installed to parallel or if it would be better to run boot camp.
So I guess the overall question is, which is better to run? Parallel or boot camp for mac?

Best Answer

Parallels is a virtual machine, so it allows you to run Windows inside of Mac OS. However, virtual machines are slow and if you need speed, which you most likely will for CAD software, you should run Windows natively through bootcamp.
