[QUOTE="jjyank, post: 1005142, member: 106029"] I am leaning towards buying my MBP in person at an Apple Store mostly because I don't want to have to transfer my hard drive myself. I assume that the Apple guys will do it for me at the store after my purchase, but what is that process like? Is it fairly quick, so I can just hang out until it is done? Or will I have to come back another day? Also, I don't really need everything transfered over, just select things (music, photos, some word documents, and a couple programs), can I specify this to the Apple employee doing my transfer? My last concern with that process is getting a Windows OS on my Mac. If I can find my Windows XP disc that I am currently using on my Dell, can they just load that on, or will I have to buy a new copy? [/QUOTE]
