Macbook sync

My mother has an account on two different macbooks; a MacBook air (her old laptop) and a MacBook Pro (new one). Both Laptops seem to be synced up, all the files are the same on both and they seem to be linked, she wants to remove her account from the old laptop(the air). If she removes her account from the old laptop, will the new one be affected? And will the storage used be cleared?

She can use the following procedure on the old MacBook Air and it won't affect her new one and won't affect any data on iCloud: What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Mac - Apple Support

Note that step 2 only applies to newer Macs; older ones are erased in later steps in that support document.
