Q: Migration Assistant
I am going from an older Dell PC to a brand new MBA. I want to migrate data from the Dell to the MBA and I believe Migration Assistant is the way to go. I know MA is already loaded on the MBA but not on the Dell. Are there already tutorials on how to transfer the data or is there a better way to transfer not using MA?

Desktops
You can format the external drive in exFAT, FAT32 or NTFS. OS X can read in all those formats.
A hard drive transfer is faster because network connections were not designed to local data transfer mainly, so even if Ethernet is faster than Wi-Fi, both are much slower than any direct connection
