Portable word processor

 

I have come to think that I really don't need to be online since I do
primarily editing.

Any recommendations for a portable word processor?

Any laptop will do what you need.

I used to find these devices interesting, but nowadays your typical
"portable word processor" looks like a 1980-era "laptop" with a tiny
2-3 line LCD display at the top of a keyboard.  I think you'd be much
better off with a general-purpose laptop or even a "netbook" - just
get a low-powered one with good battery life.  Sure, it's going to be
capaable of going online too, but you don't have to use that capability
all the time.

(I also do a fair bit of editing, but I don't feel the need to have a
separate device just for that purpose.)

I agree.  Add OpenOffice (which you'll have to download or get from
someone else), and you have it.

 

You can probably buy a budget netbook for around $500 these days. If
you get one with the Linux OS, you can obtain free word processing
software.
