The Microsoft Office upgrade your laptop deserves is only $150 for life

TL;DR: Microsoft Office 2024 Home & Business includes the essential apps — Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook — with a one-use code for life, all for $149.97 (reg.$249.99).If your workday ping-pongs from a Brooklyn apartment to a Midtown conference room, and occasionally a long train in between, Office 2024 is the “just open the file and go” option.

It’s a one-time purchase (no subscription!) for Mac or PC, with the classic apps installed locally, so you can keep working offline when Wi-Fi lets you down.What’s new versus 2021? For one, speed is up — especially in Excel, which handles larger datasets and multiple open workbooks more smoothly.PowerPoint can record presentations with your voice, video, and live camera feed (great for remote pitches).

Outlook gets a smarter accessibility checker, so your emails are clearer from the start, and everything wears a refreshed Fluent Design coat, making the apps feel easier to navigate.Security and safety get practical upgrades, too.Excel steps up against risky XLL add-ins, and the suite continues to receive feature updates.

Collaboration is built in with co-author documents in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, allowing you to leave comments or chat right in the file, and you can lean on Microsoft Teams integration to keep all the version history straight when your brain is just having one of those days.If you’re tempted to buy — which, at 40% off, should be an obvious choice — you’ll receive an instant redemption code by email after purchase.To avoid any surprises, it’s important to note that it’s a one-use code tied to your Microsoft account (not a device), and there are no upgrade paths to future releases.

Just be sure to check the basics before you buy: Windows 10/11 or recent macOS (Ventura/Sonoma/Sequoia), 4GB RAM, and a few gigs of storage will do.You can get a lifetime license for Microsoft Office 2024, available for either Mac or PC, for just $149.97 (reg.$249.99)....
