Yeah, I know it's been natively possible ever since Apple switched to intel chips from their own in-house chips. I'm just saying if your goal is specifically to run windows for basic low power use, and Apple is probably the worst bang for buck choice, but it does supply potential for future changes in use.
As for the listed uses, I would lo0ok for something with the i3 or i5 chipset. A lot of companies right now offer mid sized laptops with that chipset along with Radeon HD 5650 or equivalent graphics chips. This will give you a good balance of performance, gaming, and battery life. These laptops generally run from 650-800.
