sounds like you arent a computer person.
I recomend a mac since they "just plain work"
also, the apple stores have what they call the "genius bar".
free walk in tech support. very cool. most positive experience I have EVER had in a computer store.
look on craigslist for a used macbook with a processor that is over 1Ghz. try one that comes with office.
alternately, install OpenOffice.org (OOo)
it can open/edit/save office file formats.
apple has been and continues to be the leader in A/V so should get you what you want.
