Got a Time Machine Backup? If not, what method will you be using for Backups going forward?

How are you connecting to the Internet?

Your new machine seems to have these ports:

SDXC card slot

Four USB 3 ports (compatible with USB 2)

Two Thunderbolt ports

Mini DisplayPort output with support for DVI, VGA, and dual-link DVI (adapters sold separately)

10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45 connector)

Kensington lock slot
