You don't need Office to run music software. So that is a non-issue.
If you want to use it for other things, there might be costs involved, depending on the kind of things. MS Office, indeed, isn't free. But if free (open source) LibreOffice is suitable for what you want to do with it, you've got no costs for routine things like word processing, spreadsheets and presentations. You can install it on your current PC to have a look.
I was thinking of buying music to run Ableton or some music software. Apart from the music software are there hidden costs.
Like if i need office etc just for general use. or are the free allternatives fine to use. I dont want to download loads of crap software that makes the laptop go slow.
