Question on migrating data

I have a MBP and have used it for my business and personal use however, I recently hired a part time employee who will now use this notebook along with me. To keep things separated I (along with a lot of help from AppleCare) set up a separate user account for the employee which has been working great. However, I can no longer take this notebook on the road with me or home for personal use as it needs to be accessible to my employee and so it will stay at my office.*

To remedy this I just bought a MBA for a second computer that I will keep with me and use for business and personal use. My question is how should I migrate my data from the MBP to the MBA? Can I keep the same account/user name or should I keep 2 separate names. I would really like to keep the same computer set up for both and be able to use them both interchangeably. I already have my IPad and IPhone synced to the current MBP and it works awesome.

I am not computer/tech savvy and I couldn't find a similar question elsewhere so I hoped maybe someone here could advise me of how best to set this up. I haven't turned on or set up the new MBA yet because I wanted to wait and see if I could set these 2 computers up as one account and still use them both. Everything I have read so far assumes the old computer will be retired after the migration.

Thanks for any suggestions.*

 

Should I connect directly to the MBP or the Time Capsule before turning on the MBA?

 

Guys, I really appreciate your help, I did as suggested and started the process and then Migration Assistant walked me through it without a hitch. I didn't have to change the name of the new computer or anything, it took about 3 hours but EVERYTHING transferred over. It was so easy and I am so relieved!!! Thanks again for helping me
