My friend is selling her Macbook to me. It's almost 2 years old, she says the model number is Macbook A1278. Here's it's specs:

Processor Speed: 2 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 3 MB
Memory: 2 GB

Here's the article on it's release: Apple Releases 24 Inch iMac With Core 2 Duo
Now to my question! I've been wanting a Mac to help me edit AVCHD video files. Currently I have a Dell with Vista, two years old. It can't even read my AVCHD files, no matter what codecs/software I get. I bought a camcorder Canon Vixia HG20 and I haven't been able to use it because I can't edit the files I create. So my question is, with my friend's Macbook, do you think I'll be able to edit them without much trouble? Or would I be better off with a new Macbook?
She's selling it to me for $850. She paid $1250 two years ago. Is that a reasonable price?
Thanks in advance!
