A macbook will do all of that right out of the box and OS X is far more responsive and runs faster than Vista. You can also just download and run neo office for free, which is a native application for OS X based on open office. It can read/write/execute all MS office files so it is 100% compatible. Macbooks start at $1099 and if you are a student you can get an educational discount.

Try and use complete sentences and correct grammar when you type.

You can use wireless internet on your Mac just as you can on a Windows PC.

Yes they do have P2P programs available for Mac's, however not as many as for the PC.

You should be able to use your current printer, check to see if you have a driver available for the Mac OS.
 
In fact you'll probably have more luck with your current printer running on a Mac than Vista, at this point. I would wait a few more months (closer to Thanksgiving), and then do a little more searching then...
