Hi Louis, It sounds like a MacBook Air would be your best bet, though I don't know what kind of specs it has. I've also heard that the MacBook Air has a similar price to the 13 inch MacBook Pro, which you could also try. If you don't want to spend too much, you could also go for the ordinary MacBook model which, if my memory serves me correctly, is made out of a kind of plastic as opposed to the MacBook Pro, which is aluminium.
As far as equivalent software to Microsoft Office goes, Apple has a productivity suite called iWork that contains 3 applications. Pages, for word processing, Numbers, for spreadsheets, and Keynote, for creating presentations. It's very accessible with VoiceOver. Hope this info heaps.
