On the Mac since the new units either ship with OS Catalina or OS Big Sur you want to make sure the software and the printers you get are compatible with it. If you're in doubt you can go to the manufacturers driver site to take a peek to check compatibility.

Some units are so thin and portable and they do not contain the DVD Drive.

Typically the basic printer functionality could be avaiable if the printer is Wifi and is on the same network as the Mac connected so you can wirelessly print without doing much configuration. You can always get an external Superdrive for the Mac. I am unsure if PC DVD Rom units work with reading Mac disks so its good to research.

Sorry I am more of a PC person but barely know about the Mac.

Also make sure any other software you need is mac compatible. A bunch of office type software has no mac version

Correct but you can also consider alternatives such as Open Office and Libre Office (which is my favorite) to work with your word processing and spreadsheet needs as it's free.
