New MacBook Pro
5 Aug
Last week, my old 13″ white Macbook seemed to breathe its last breath, as not only did the battery wear out but it decided, after an update, that not loading the operating system would be a good idea too. This consequently lead to year another trip to the local Apple store.
While I was there, I couldn’t resist checking out the new MacBook Pro. Better battery life, faster, and externally sleek to name a few differences. One hour later, I leave with one 13″ 160GB Pro, 3 year Apple care, QuarkXpress 8 and Snow Leopard (Apple’s next operating system) at the price of the postage. All of that with 26% discount whacked on.
Anyway, in the process of adding all my files and applications etc from the old MacBook, just wondering if there’s any handy shortcuts or tricks that weren’t in the older models?
Beth,
I recommend using the Migration Assistant (found in the Applications/Utilities folder). I used it to transfer all my files and settings last week to my new MBPro and it did wonders – even my shortcut keys and hot corners were moved onto the new laptop.
GIve it a go and let me know if you have questions.
