Re: Laptop upgrade ?
As long as you remember that "The Cloud" is just someone else's computer with a very large number of hard drives attached, you will be fine. Use it as one of your backup points, not your only storage place. Assume that any files you store there might be viewed by someone else. Encrypt any files just in case a security issue happens at The Cloud provider.
If your primary use is web and occasional streaming, pretty much any basic laptop with a screen that matches your streaming use should be fine.
Ask if the selling place offers a data transfer service as part of the purchase price. Might be free, might be a nominal charge.
Better to get the new laptop before the old one craps out. Much easier to transfer files from a working drive then attempt to recover files from a dead one.
