Word is a hog (esp. on a Macbook). Pages is nice if you want that rich-client feel while you’re working and integrates well with your existing media. Here’s a couple to try if you’re curious:
Google docs. Free as in, well, free. All web-based and not as feature heavy of an experience, but you’re writing, not editing video, so it gets the job done.
Writeroom. This is kind of cool. It forces you to concentrate on writing. Like, it blacks out the rest of the Mac. Very DOS circa 1983.
Personally I go back and forth between Pages and Writeroom, depending on my mood.

Looking to get a word processor for my mac. I’ve looked at Office 2008 for Mac or iWork ‘08.
