Hi just contemplating (i.e. been tempted by...) a new MacBook

I am familiar with replacing iphones & ipads - the icloud backup & restore to
new device works like a charm.

Does anyone have experience with Migration Assistant? Would it be as painless
as for the phones & tablets (I realise it's a completely different MO). Will
everything be copied or are there gotchas of which the user needs to be aware?

I read up on the process here

No particular problems here other than it taking ages (as expected). You
need to be careful if you’ve already setup a user on the new Mac - it’s
explained in the process doc you quoted.

It is even more simple. Keep the new and the old Mac close to each other
and have the medium with the profiles/accounts (time machine) ready. The
rest will be explained to you. Depending on the quantity of data it will
take between 15 minutes and let's say 2 h of which all the time is
basically used to transfer the user-data.

I use it all the time at work when moving users to new machines. User names
and passwords don't carry over, but that's the only gotcha I can think of.

Mine certainly carried over when I had to restore (don’t ask!) my MBA a few

User names and passwords are part of a profile (and the keyring) and
they are moved over.

Sorry - should have said don't ALWAYS carry over. I've found that some do and
some don't.

they always carry over, unless specifically de-selected prior to
migration.
