Checklist
I have backed up all of my personal data stored on my old laptop's hard drive (e.g., documents, pictures, video, music).
I have either backed up any personal files I saved to my laptop's "desktop" or confirmed that I don't have any files on my desktop.
I have either exported and backed up my bookmarks/favorites for each browser that I use (e.g., Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, Chrome) or confirmed that I don't need to do this.
I have either backed my Outlook mail archive (.pst) files or confirmed that I have never archived my mail on my old laptop.
I have either backed up my KeePass password database or confirmed that I have never used KeePass on my old laptop.
I have either backed up my Microsoft Office templates (Users/username/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Templates) or confirmed that I don't have any such templates on my old laptop.
I have created a list of software that I will need to re-install (i.e., Adobe Acrobat Pro, SPSS, JMP) on my new laptop.
I have located my old laptop's power cord and any accessories such as docking stations or dongles.
