OK,

So I've been doing quite a lot of writing in my spare time at work, and I've been considering purchasing something so that I can write in my spare time at home (when the baby's sleeping). What would you recommend? I don't really need a PC, because I use one at work and don't surf the net too often, and I don't download movies, music, porn, etc. (someone please tell me what I'm missing out on). A PC would be nice, but I think it might be a little bit of a hassle too (expensive and difficult to bring home with me when I decide my time here's up). A laptop I could bring home, but they're so godawful expensive. As for a word processor, I've never used a real one before. Are they tough to deal with? I've heard a few writers still use them, but I really have no desire to "keep it real", so to speak; I just want the cheapest, most appropriate thing for writing in my spare time.

I should also mention that I eventually plan on producing a manuscript, so I'll need something that will best help me do this. I'm a little wary of word processors because the one I had in university was this humongeous thing that had a screen which could only fit two lines of text. It was so bad that I used it once and never again.

I would appreciate any useful advice on this matter.

Why not pick up a used laptop somewhere. You should be able to get a basic one that will suit your needs for very little money, and I didn't even know that people still used independent word processors anymore.

buy a used desktop and when you move you only need to take the hard-drive or a few CD's. If you are only wordprocessing then microsoft word is perfect for you and you can buy a low powered used PC that will cover more than your needs for 300,000 to 400,000 won.
