Coming from VM or Wine its amazingq
I just need to run a couple software programs that are windows only and have been stuck between a virtual box or cloud services. Both seem to have enough lag to put me off of using them on a regular basis. Running windows on this is very smooth. I had a remote connection to my work computer, parallel running windows and downloading/installing software, and my chrome up in macOS all with little to no lag. Compared to the other options I have tried this one is the first that feels like an 'apple' solution. Clean, great UI, and just runs smoothly. thank you. I plan on purchasing after my trial.
So far, so good
I absolutely need the ability to have a virtual environment for work and for personal projects. Having a native solution within OSX is great, having as solution which is fast, has a light footprint, and that gets out of the way is even better!
I like Parallels so far (I'm currently using a trial) and plan to purchase it in the next few days when my trial ends.
My only suggestion to the developers is this: Get more support for the M1 chip. We need more than the 5 or 6 virtual solutions you've provided.

Performance Okay for Graphical Applications/Games
Terraria wiki crafting. First, a note to all. The APP STORE VERSION is NOT the same as Parallels Desktop 16!!!! If you need more advanced features, definitely go with Parallels Desktop 16 off of their website. This version is simplified for general use.
1. Windows VMs are snappy. Games running DX10 work well, especially older source games.
2. Games running DX10/DX11 are.. hit and miss to say the least. I have yet to encounter a game where I haven't had choppiness in DX10/DX11 games.
3. With the above said, Bootcamp is still going to be the way to go if you want native performance. I have yet to have success in Parallels 0010Desktop -App Store Version or VMware Fusion 12 for modern games. Older games work fine though.
