New Macbook - Finally made the switch

[xalexx]

So I finally got the Macbook that I've wanted to buy for years, but I'm not sure what the most efficient way to transfer all my files would be.
Should I invest even more money in an external HD and do it that way or some other way? I don't want all my files to be transferred, basically just my iTunes files and some programs and games.

Connect both computers to your router via Ethernet and use Migration Assistant. If a computer doesn't have Ethernet, then you can use Wi-Fi, but that will be a bit slower (probably an overnight job).
