Currently, power bi not contains the mac version of power bi desktop, you can vote below idea about add mac version of power bi desktop:

Power BI Designer for Mac

 

>>If you are able to send me a 'need to know' guide on how Power BI would operate in both enviroments that would be really helpful.

For learning power bi, you can refer to below document:

    Thanks, I assume Mac users can read published reports/dashboards ok though?

      Hi AndyDDUK,

       

      They sure will.  The published Dashboards and Reports are all HTML5 so all you need is a browser and a login.  They can also author some reports using the Web version of Power BI, although it's much more limited than what you can do in Power BI Desktop (no calculated measures, no relationship editor etc) .

       

      But it's ok for viewing and basic authoring :)

       

      Definitely vote for the idea as Anonymous suggested
