However, problems may arise depending on what you're working on in the virtual machine. The Neo comes with 8GB of RAM, but Windows 11 virtual machines require a minimum of 4GB of RAM.
(MacBook Neo does not offer memory upgrade options.)
Considering this situation, the support document states:
"For light, occasional Windows use, like a legacy business tool, or a Windows-only utility, MacBook Neo may provide an acceptable experience. For CPU- or GPU-intensive Windows applications, this computer is not the right choice."
