Getting ready for a new machine

I have a new laptop arriving at the end of this week. If I'm lucky it
will arrive before Friday, so I can manage to pick it up and have it
during the weekend. If not, I'm only going to set it up next week.
I don't know whether to just restore the backup from my current
machine or take the opportunity to set it up from scratch. Or take
a mixed approach - set the applications from scratch but retrieve the
data from a backup.
I feel I could automate this whole process, but how often do I go
through this process? Probably maintaining the automation up-to-date
would require more manual effort than manually running it once every
now and then.
What is your prefered method to setup new machines?
