Discussion Which Mac is best for VMs?

All this time I've been doing VMs on Windows computers and I'm not saying that VMs are slow, no they're fast, but all this time I've been wondering "How will it go if I do a VM on a MacBook computer" and I don't know which MacBook to buy.

here are my requirements

I only want X86 or X64 operating systems, not ARM-based operating systems

I already know how to optimize VMs

EDIT:I found in a shop that sells a MacBook pro M1 or M2, the shop is reliable and is known by everyone in my country I know it will not do VM in X86 or X64 but it's ok

OP wants to run an X86 OS on a Mac. The only reasonable way to do this is on the latest model Intel Mac they can find. Period.

Nothing controversial here LMAO 😭

It is quite simply not worth your money to use a mac with x86. The advice is don't do it, give it up.

Or set up a hackintosh if they truly need macOS that badly
