I need help on choosing a laptop.?

I have been searching Ebay, but can't seem to find the right one. I am not looking to spend much at all and i want a really good deal. (which is way i am looking on Ebay). I really loved the laptop Hilary Duff (hool) has on The Perfect Man, if anyone has seen it. i need advice, on choosing a laptop thats cheap, but good quality. I wont be using it for internet, just word and powerpoint and stuff like that. i like apple, so if u have any ideas. HELP!! lol. Thanks.
