alright mate?

All macs can actually run windows now! If you don't wanna go that way, you can get MS Office for macs too.

You can't go wrong with a Macbook (which is what my kids have)...

You can get more expensive macs, but this one is pretty much perfect for the needs of most.

lifted from apple.com...

"Yes. Microsoft Office is available for the Mac, and Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files created on a Mac are fully compatible with Windows. Most other popular applications are available for the Mac, too. But if you need to use a particular Windows-only application, you have a few options: Boot Camp comes with every new Mac, and it lets you run Windows natively — as if your Mac were a PC. If you want to run Mac OS X and Windows side by side, you can purchase Parallels Desktop for Mac or VMware Fusion. Install one of these applications, along with the Windows Installation CDs, and you can run the occasional Windows program right next to your Mac applications, without having to restart."
