The Apple Migration Assistant Software Tool task is to transfer data from an existing computer either a LC to a Mac to a new or another computer and the best possible speed and time and reliability is needed. For reliability then choosing to use an Apple Time Machine Backup can be the most reliable option to use. But this depends on how much data needs to be transferred. But if you have two devices that use USB-C or Thunderbolt ports then this can be more efficient. Also using Ethernet and or WiFi are other options to use.

You can use the Apple Migration Assistant Software tool, but it can help if you untick the Applications option when using the Apple Migration assistant software tool, it’s best then to download Applications that are available for the Apple Silicon range of computers.

Most likely the wrong USB-C port is being used, you can stop the migration process and then try again using the other USB-C port which has a faster connection speed. The MacBook Neo has 2 USB-C Ports the 1st one is the USB-C 3 Port (Up to 10Gb/s) the (2nd USB-C 2 Port is 480 Mb/s)

The data transfer speed of the Apple Migration Assistant depends on the Apple Hardware and the technology methods used. The best speed is by using Thunderbolt 5 technology on the most recent Apple Mac computers using a Thunderbolt 5 data transfer lead. The most common data transfer technology and speed is by using USB-C Gen 2 SSD storage volume devices via an Apple Time Machine Restore process. Using Thunderbolt 5 Technology can achieve 80 Gbps and USB-C 4 40 Gbps and USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 10Gbps and using Ethernet can give 1Gbps.

The best way to use the Apple Migration assistant to transfer the data to a new Apple Mac computer is to use a Thunderbolt USB-C 5 or a Thunderbolt USB-C 4 high speed data transfer lead a Thunderbolt 5 Pro Cable that is 0.5 metres long is sold at the Apple stores online and supports 120 Gb/s speeds. Thunderbolt USB-C 5 leads are backward compatible with Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports. For older Apple Mac computers that have a Thunderbolt 2 port an adapter is needed. Apple Mac computers since 2017 use USB-C ports. So the next best way is to use an external USB-C SSD storage volume to backup the Apple Mac computer that you need to transfer the data from and then use the Apple Migration Assistant option to use Apple Time Machine. Using Ethernet and W-Fi can be slow unless the Ethernet is 1Gb or Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7, but Wi-Fi can stop working after transferring data and the migration process can fail to work.

The best way to setup a new Apple Mac Computer is to simply sign into your Apple Account and then use the Apple App (Application store to download the most recent Apple Silicon software for a Apple M series or Apple A series Apple Mac computer, especially if your existing Apple Mac computer is a intel Apple Mac computer. However this can take longer to setup a new Apple Mac computer, and some data might be missing. So an option can be to use the Apple Migration assistant and then choose the option to untick the Applications folder within the Apple Migration assistant software tool which is built into MacOS to use on both computers.
