Seconded the third option, although the storage is really crap. SSD sure, but if 128 GB is all you get you're not gonna be storing too many games (if triple A) on there. Doesn't look like it supports a second harddisk too.
If your old laptop's harddisk is broken, it's gonna be difficult, perhaps even impossible to get the data back. However, if the harddisk is fine and something else broke, you can just get an HDD enclosure for your old drive and transfer your old data to your new laptop.
So if I got the third option, could I even do the enclosure setup for my old data? Also, is there a way to tell if it's the hardisk that broke?
If the harddisk is not broken, you can do that. Basically you detach the old harddisk, put it in the enclosure (basically this turns you internal disk to an external disk, like a huge flashdisk), plug it to your new laptop and transfer data normally.
I'm not an expert of detecting broken harddisk, but from what I know, you can check it by booting to your bios. To do that, when you turn on your laptop, when the splash screen that shows the manufacturer's logo shows up, press F2 or, F8 or F10 or whatever it is the setup for the manufacturer. Once booted into the bios, check if your laptop detects your harddisk. There should be a disk-related settings tab in the bios.
Or an alternative way that I'm 100% sure will work is just to use the enclosure and check if the harddisk is detected when you plug it in to your new laptop.
