I am sure that the new laptop will help you to create even better and faster! I had a similar experience last year when my hard drive packed up. There had been warnings which I didn't heed. I did get a new hard drive, but while I was waiting for it to be sorted out, I also bought a new laptop because I couldn't afford to not have one - I had a book chapter I had to submit by a certain date that was looming. I so loved my new laptop that I ended up feeling really grateful about what had happened. And I ended up selling the other one with its brand new hard drive.
