Sorry to disillusion you, but the an ibook does the same thing the laptop you have does -- changes numbers from one value to another. That is all a computer does, change numbers from one value to another; and all modern computers do so really, really, really fast. There is no functional difference between comparable examples of Macs or PCs -- with the exception of software; PCs are far ahead in software availabiity.
A computer, any computer, is a tool -- and like any tool it is only has useful as the user knows how it works. Just being familiar with how to run the software is not enought to become proficient with this tool -- a knowledge of the tool itself is needed eventually. Again, that applies to both Macs and PCs as they do the same thing -- Macs just do it backwards. ;P
However, as you seem bent on changing platforms, here is a primer on the joys of the Mac Experience.
One more thing, if you do end up taking your system into a repair shop, make absolutely beyond any doubt they know the data is more important than the system. Having worked as a technician in a repair shop, and having experience with many others, the primary concern is all hardware based -- get the system running, the data is the customers problem.
Best of luck.
