Can you restore a new Macbook Air from iCloud backup of your old Macbook?

Can you restore a new Macbook Air from icloud backup of your old Macbook. My son's Macbook is broken, he has a new one but we don't want to lose what was on the old one.

I have not done a full restoration from iCloud to a Mac.

iTunes music, photos, documents and other stuff were all transferred.

Third party applications and data associated with it will need a Time Machine Backup.
