Your MacBook Pro is designed so that you can set it up quickly and start using it right away. If you have never used a MacBook Pro or are new to Mac computers, read this chapter for help getting started.

Important: Read all the installation instructions (and the safety information starting on page 68) carefully before you first use your computer.

If you’re an experienced user, you may already know enough to get started. Make sure you look over the information in Chapter 2, “Life with Your MacBook Pro,” to find out about the new features of this MacBook Pro.

Many answers to questions can be found on your computer in Help Center. For information about using Help Center, see “Getting Answers” on page 31. The latest information about your MacBook Pro is available on the Apple Support website at www.apple.com/support/macbookpro. 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.
