>I most likely will need to buy a new laptop too, any recommendations?

One thing I would recommend is buying the extended warranty. The laptops of the 2020s are not the same as the laptops of the 2010s or 2000s. I've had laptops in the 2000s and 2010s that are still working. But the laptops bought in the late 2010s and in 2020 have had issues of various kinds.

An AMD laptop by HP had a keyboard driver that wouldn't work with the laptop keyboard. If you typed too fast it would mix up the characters. The workaround was to send it back to the factory, or to use an external keyboard. It later magically corrected itself with a Windows 10 update here in the last 50 days or so.

A high-end gaming Intel laptop by Acer worked beautifully, but then one day just stopped working. Wouldn't power on. This was eight months after it was purchased. Other users online reported similar issues with Acer. We have the one-year warranty on that laptop, and it will expire now in Feb 2021. We sent it to Acer and still haven't received it back yet.

I would advise going with an established brand (I've always had excellent luck with HP and Toshiba laptops, going back to the early 2000s). I would also advise buying one that's a little older (still sold new, but one that's been on the market for six+ months so you can see reviews and returns over time), but has a solid track record of success given the variability that seems to exist in modern laptops, like they just don't have quality control any longer, or don't care about making an excellent product.

My $0.02.

Sorry to hear about your laptop. One thing my son learned with his Acer laptop crashing was to keep backups, and be ready at any time to re-install the OS from scratch. He had an NVMe disk in his machine, which prevented us from taking it out and backing it up using another laptop, as we didn't have support for that type of device in our other machines. He may have lost everything. We'll find out when we get it back.
