Cloning Hard Drive

My MacBook Pro needs to got some repairs done. Th keyboard needs to be replaced. While it's gone, I will need another machine to work off of. I have an older trash can Mac Pro that could be a good substitute. I'd like to be able to access my MacBook configuration and all the email and files associated with it. Should I clone my MacBook to an external drive and then work off of the drive until I get my Mac back? Or clone my MacBook and the install that on thee trash can Mac?
