I’ve used it twice this year, once last spring (from 2016 MBP to M1 Air), and then again last night (Air to M1 Pro MBP).
The spring transition was lightly rocky, had some Docker issues, a couple Node image handling packages gave me grief. I had roped off three days for troubleshooting but only needed an afternoon.
Last night’s move was flawless.
Tip: if you’ve got a Thunderbolt 3 cable, use it. No network settings necessary, just plug both computers in. My brother in law’s setup too a couple hours, mine took twenty minutes.
- gnicholas 5y agoDoes the power cable that comes with (previous generation) MBPs work for this purpose? I thought I remember seeing some talk of it being great for power but not for data.
- Eric_WVGG 5y agoMy understanding is that it is a USB-C cable but not Thunderbolt 3. I expect that it would work faster than WiFi, at least. I had a true Thunderbolt 3 that I use with an eGPU handy
