New Laptop Without Microsoft Office

I bought my laptop with B&H and Microsoft Office 365 pop-up with a discount and I didn't hesitate to add it to my cart.

New life for an old workhorse laptop.

I have used several types of laptop computers, but Microsoft Surface Pro 7 is more than I expected :)

The battery drains faster when watching movies, but it still lasts several hours. I used it for Microsoft Office, Python programing and surfing -- it worked smoothly for all my needs.

Microsoft Office was easy to install and is the foundation of much of the work that I do. Having access to the software on my home computer during COVID-19 has been a real asset.

I used it to build a desktop that is mainly used for browsing and Microsoft Office, Adobe, etc. It is fast and lets me multi-task with ease. It is also supported for Windows 11 which is great.

This is a great product. I'm using it in my office to connect my new work monitors to the Microsoft Dock. Will definitely purchase if needed in the future.

SoftMaker Office seems to be a straightforward non-subscription and cheaper replacement to Microsoft Office. Needed a decent program suite to edit and save all my Microsoft Docs (Word and Excel). I know there are free open source alternatives, but I was more comfortable working in SoftMaker vs them. It is working well so far and is very familiar to use coming from Microsoft Office. SoftMaker Office doesn’t have has robust review tools built in as Microsoft Office does. However, it didn’t seem like the extra grammar review alone was worth the additional money for the full non-subscription desktop Microsoft Office purchase to me.

If you don't want to have a credit card saved with Microsoft, I think this is the easiest way to license Office on computers for personal use. B&H emailed me a digital code that I entered into my Microsoft account for a 12-month subscription. Done for another year.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the Microsoft 365 Office about couple weeks ago and works great.
