Alongside our regular MacNN Deals and Daily Deals posts, the writers of MacNN occasionally find offers that are interesting or major enough to warrant their own Big Deals post. Today's selection is the Parallels Power Bundle, an offer that provides a collection of seven productivity apps with the purchase or upgrade to
Parallels Desktop 11 for Mac.
The main feature of this bundle is Parallels Desktop 11 for Mac itself. Capable of running Windows 10 as well as other operating systems, this version boasts a 50-percent improvement to launch and shutdown times compared to previous releases, with it also including a Coherence mode that allows Windows apps to run alongside native Mac apps.
The rest of the bundle is made up of productivity and maintenance apps for your Mac. PDF Expert allows users to easily edit PDF files, and is accompanied by password management tool 1Password, PDF Office for iPad, CleanMyMac 3, encrypted file protection tool Hider 2, and Kaspersky for Mac. Lastly, Parallels Access allows you to remotely access your files on computers or the cloud from your mobile devices, and includes a one-year subscription.
There are two options for buying the
Parallels Power Bundle. Existing Parallels Desktop owners can upgrade to 11 and get the extra app bundle for $50, while new customers buying the software outright can do so for $80. This works out to be a saving of up to 81 percent compared to buying all the apps separately.
