I know nothing about computers: What should I buy for editing videos with Premiere Pro?

I have personally never purchased a laptop or desktop. I've been Googling and reading articles and I have no idea what to buy. I've been using Premiere Pro on an old Dell desktop and it's been ok but I need to upgrade. A driver is outdated and it can't be fixed.

I want to do some relatively simple editing of crafting videos for YouTube.

I'm open to a desktop or laptop. Less expensive is better. Open to buying used as well.

Any help is appreciated.

You may also want to consider Premiere Elements for a one time purchase http://www.adobe.com/products/elements-family.html

…and to be precise, Elements is more oriented to the users who do know nothing about computers… But if you are used to Premiere Pro, I suppose you will be disappointed with Elements.

Based on your 1st sentence "I know nothing about computers", I'd highly recommend that you go with a MacBook Pro or an iMac.

Based on "I want to do some relatively simple editing of crafting videos for YouTube", I'd recommend any of the M1 based Apple computers with at least 512GB of internal storage.
