MacBook Air User’s Guide
Welcome
Congratulations on purchasing a MacBook Air. Your MacBook Air is streamlined for portability and a completely wireless experience. Read this chapter for help getting started setting up and using your MacBook Air.
If you know you will primarily be downloading applications and content from the Internet and not migrating information from another Mac, you can follow the basic instructions to set up your MacBook Air quickly.
If you want to migrate information from another Mac or get content from CDs or DVDs onto your MacBook Air, you can identify one or more Mac or Windows computers to partner with your MacBook Air.
Important: Read all the installation instructions (and the safety information starting on page 57) carefully before you first use your computer.
Many answers to questions can be found on your computer in Mac Help. For information about getting Mac Help, see “Getting Answers” on page 35. Apple may release new versions and updates to its system software, so the images shown in this book may be slightly different from what you see onscreen.
