Whichever is most convenient.  You could boot off a stick on the
laptop and clone the image as a compressed fileset onto the drive of a
connected machine (via ssh), then install the new disc on the laptop
and use clonezilla to restore from the image onto the new disc.  That
saves having to plug the discs into another machine.  Or you could
plug them into the other machine and run it locally there which might
be quicker as it doesn't have to go across the network.  Clonezilla
only clones used bits of the disc so the amount of time it takes
depends on the amount of data not the partition sizes.
