I downloaded Parallels Desktop 18 for Mac and in less than 10 minutes I was running Windows 11 on my MacBook Air with M1. The initial idea was that if I find Windows to my taste I will get a powerful gaming laptop so that I can enjoy the experience in a natural way. A piece of virtualization software that will allow me to install Windows 11 on my Mac, play around with Narrator, or even learn NVDA and also try out Hearthstone which some of my blind friends were enjoying thanks to the Hearthstone Access mod. Luckily, I remembered that there is another option. As I didn’t just want another machine that I would move around from place to place if I found out that actually I’m not interested in the Windows operating system, I tried to find a better solution. So, you can imagine my frustration when I realized that none of the available offerings would be good for me because almost all of there were bulky, plasticky, with really bad battery life, and were doing a lot of noise when put to work. When it comes to gaming I definitely prefer to have a controller in hand, so consoles such as PS5, Xbox Series X and lastly Nintendo Switch would be the first choice. I do almost all my work on my iPhone in combination with my iPad Pro, and when I need to write long articles I do it on this MacBook Air. I checked out a lot of different laptops, from 6000 NOK to 20000NOK, in Euros that’s between 6, but couldn’t find even one that was to my taste. It’s nice, easy to use, it has a premium build and it’s also completely silent. The thing is that like so many others, I love my MacBook Air. I asked Alina to assist me in this endeavor and we visited a few electronics stores here in Oslo, looking for a nice laptop that will suit my needs. Also, I wanted to check out some potential games that received mods from people who want to make them accessible for blind gamers. In today’s article, I want to tell you all a little story about how installing Parallels Desktopon my MacBook Air with M1 saved me from spending around 2000 euros on a Gaming PC.Ībout half a year ago an idea entered my head that I should get a Windows computer so that I can try out Windows 11 to see what’s new with accessibility since I am a Mac user for more than 12 years, a time in which I didn’t touch Windows. I am also an advocate for accessibility and an accessibility consultant. My name is Victor and I am a blind gaming, technology, and entertainment journalist.
