that is correct


the new cpu from apple used the ARM cpu architecture where the version of windows microsoft

sells rely on the intel x86/x64 cpu architecture

if windows is mission critical fore you sell the macbook and get one with an intel cpu


if you don't need gaming or very demanding 3d apps then you can look into

parallels and I believe wmware virtual machines are suppose to support the windows for ARM cpu which I don't believe they make availble for others than windows insiders and developers

you can check their site
