Ah the Mac fans speak. Of course being a Mac fan myself I'm not going to disagree . I've got a slightly older model 12" iBook which I love. The screen can be quite small (no surprise) but it's light to carry around and if you do have a bigger monitor or a TV (though TVs tend to have poor resolutions) then you can hook it up to that while you are at home or wherever.

The software that comes with the Mac is great though you might need Microsoft Office but if it is just Word Processing you might be able to just use something like AbiWord (which is also on the PC).

I'd be a little cautious about buying second hand as laptops do tend to start to have problems after a few years but maybe I'm just being paranoid.
