and only used Internet, mail, a bit of Office and liked listening to music with a sharp screen, where would you put your money?

Friend of my parents is looking for tips and I've been out of the game far too long to care about hardware these days.

I'd spend it on coke, beer and hookers

Presume already have a laptop? What about monitor, keyboard, mouse, amp and speakers?

It's to replace a laptop. It's dying and about 7 years old so it will be a replacement for that.

Chromebook.

Music wise, cast screen to TV that's hooked to speakers?
3.5m speaker to chromebook?
Possibly, blutooth to speaker? Depends on compatibility.

Windows laptop seems like a waste of money anyway i look at it, and office365 isn't free. So why go Windows when you can run free office off of near any OS.

A nice little desktop would be best if portability isn't what they need? But that is kinda pricey for of the shelf stuff, hence the Chromebook recommendation.
