If you work remotely, there’s no shortage of tools you might need to get the job done—whether you’re working from your couch or the coffee shop on the corner. In fact, I’m sure you’ve read lists upon lists of the best tools for remote workers across the web. (Guilty as charged—we even wrote a post about the best resources for remote workers to bookmark.)

Parallels For Mac Drains Battery Backup
We have two such tools in our arsenal. You may have heard of them—we sure do talk about them a lot—but hey, can you blame us? Both Parallels Desktop and Parallels Access are perfect fits for people who work remotely. Here’s why:
Parallels Desktop Travel Mode
As we’ve mentioned, the battery drain issues are not tied to the use of hibernatemode 3 over hibernatemode 25 on newer Macs. Because of that, the macOS Mojave battery drain problems are likely a software bug that Apple will — hopefully — address. Basically, if you’re patient, you can just wait for Apple to release a fix.

If running Parallels 9 with Windows 7 or 8.1, how much battery life is expected for the new Haswell rMBPs? I'm assuming normal tasks in Windows and not gaming and with 3d disabled. This is referring to the 16gb model so I'm guessing it shouldn't run into swap issues much. In just my limited experience with Parallels so far, it looks like it is pretty hard on the battery. The time in the battery meter drops considerably when I have a VM running. More RAM would probably help. The drop in battery life is probably due to the HD running more to use virtual memory for 2 OSs at the same time.
If you’re a remote worker who needs Windows on Mac wherever you go, Parallels Desktop is a great choice. Yes, virtualizing Windows takes a lot of battery power—but with Parallels Desktop 11’s new feature, Travel Mode, you can easily get access to Windows (no matter where you are) without sacrificing too much juice.
We wrote another post about Travel Mode just after the launch of Parallels Desktop 11, but I’ll reiterate exactly what it does here, too—Travel Mode works by temporarily shutting down select services to optimize your Mac for better battery life. See how to enable Travel Mode and watch it in action:
If you already have Parallels Desktop but haven’t upgraded to version 11 yet, go for it! And don’t forget, if you upgrade to the Pro Edition, you’ll be locked into the $50 per year subscription price for the entire life of your subscription.
Parallels Access for iOS and Android

Sometimes, you don’t want the bulk of your Mac. We empathize. That’s why we developed Parallels Access, our remote access app.
If you’re longing to leave your heavy MacBook behind and opt instead for your iPad or iPhone (or Android device, too—we don’t discriminate), download Parallels Access. With the app installed, you’ll be able to access any file no matter where you are, as long as you have a solid Internet connection.
If you’ve ever had the sinking realization of forgetting a file on your home computer, then you know that the unexpected can always throw a curveball at you—particularly when it comes to mixing technology and human error. Thankfully, you can prepare for that moment with Parallels Access, which provides you 24/7 access to all of your applications and files from your smartphone, tablet, or another computer. Best of all, you can download Parallels Access and try it out right now for free.
