Apple macbook pro query

    I suppose it's not only Macbook Pro, but that's what I'm dealing with. We have a macbook pro with a broken display section - the screen is fine, but after a few years of use and a broken bezel, the casing surrounding the screen has come apart.

    Repair is bound to be expensive, looking at about 500+ for the top section alone, and at that price it might be that we could find a s/h computer with the same specs.

    What I'm wondering is could we mirror the setup (files, software, music etc) easily on another computer by way of carrying out a backup on the broken screen machine and restoring onto the newer one?

    Thanks in advance!

    Migration Assistant can do it for you.
    If you only need to replace the bezel it will cost you 50-70E for the part

    Nah, it's gone past the bezel, the enclosure's falling apart unfortunately. Will go and look up Migration Assistant now, thank you very much for your help!
