Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using your MacBook Pro, connect the provided USB-C power adapter and follow the on-screen prompts of the macOS setup assistant to create your user profile and connect to Wi-Fi. Compatibility is broad, supporting most modern USB-C peripherals, hubs, and docking stations. To maintain your device, keep the keyboard area clear of debris and clean the screen only with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth—avoid liquid cleaners directly on the panel. To extend the lifespan of the lithium-polymer battery, avoid exposing the laptop to extreme temperatures and ensure that the bottom air vents are not obstructed while the device is in use, especially when running intensive applications.
