Do what you need to do.
I like Macs, but I also like Dells. I use Macs mostly, but also own and use Dell and HP workstations
Depends on what you need to do. I prefer Macs, and no one I have ever advised to buy one who did so has ever complained.
And some of them are retired women.
The Mac comes with their office suite, which can read an write Microsoft compatible files.
I use it a lot for translating Mac based files into MS Office file for a law firm.
People will tell you that Macs are too expensive, but it depends on what you buy.
If you compare features and power intelligently, Macs can be quite a good deal.
And, all operating system upgrades are now free, as have their office suite apps.
Consumer Microsoft stuff is overrated in my honest opinion.
Good luck!
