I am considering purchasing P8 but I am have never run Parallels before so I have some questions. 1. Can I install a virtualization instance using a Boot Camp partition or vice versa? 2. What is the battery life drain like on a 2012 MBA? Thanks.
>1. Can I install a virtualization instance using a Boot Camp partition or vice versa? Yes you can. Parallels Desktop can use your existing BootCamp partition: http://kb.parallels.com/112941 > 2. What is the battery life drain like on a 2012 MBA? Parallels Desktop 8 has an option to extend the battery life if you use your MBA with no charging often: http://kb.parallels.com/114732
