How to choose a Microsoft Office product during Cyber Week

Many of us consider the best Microsoft Office alternatives, but on sale, it often makes sense to stick with the big name in the field. Once you’ve committed to that, it’s important to figure out if you want to purchase a lifetime/one time only deal or if you’re fine paying each year. There are pros and cons here as the yearly subscriptions tend to give you more updates and new features, but you’ll be paying for it.

Alongside that, you need to think about how many people you need a license for. Are you just buying for yourself or do you need to support the whole family? You need a license for each person using Microsoft Office at any one time, so make sure you buy something that works for everyone. Also, think about extras like how much cloud storage is bundled in. For the most part though, it’s a pretty simple process buying Microsoft Office.

How we chose these Microsoft Office products during Cyber Week

We know our way around deals, as well as what’s important with Microsoft Office. We spend every day looking for the best deals, checking out all the major retailers, and comparing prices. Because of that, we know what prices are worth recommending and what should be skipped. In conjunction, we know all about Microsoft Office along with the pros and cons of buying a subscription to 365 or going for a onetime purchase. We can recommend different services for different people with plenty of knowledge backing that view up. Essentially, all the deals above are the kind of deals that we would recommend to our friends and family, and that we would use ourselves. There’s no filler here or any substandard packages. We only include genuinely good products here, which luckily tends to encompass most of what Microsoft Office provides as standard. We also check back regularly and update the deals with the latest best prices.

Google’s next Googlebook could make your Android tablets feel outdated
Googlebooks are moving beyond traditional laptops, and the next one might look more like a tablet.
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Googlebooks have only been around for a little over a month, but Google is already looking beyond traditional laptops. The company has confirmed that detachable Googlebooks are on the way, meaning we could soon see devices that work as both a tablet and a laptop without carrying two separate gadgets.

The announcement came during the Android Dev Summit 2026, where Google outlined its plans to expand the Googlebook lineup beyond the clamshell and convertible designs currently available. While the company hasn't revealed an official launch date or shown any hardware, an earlier leak suggests Lenovo could be the first manufacturer to bring one to market.

Meta is already working on its second-gen humanoid robot, but don’t expect it to land in homes anytime soon
Meta wants a robot to do your chores, but it still has to learn how to climb stairs

Meta appears to be getting serious about bringing artificial intelligence out of the screen and into the physical world. The company has built a humanoid robot prototype with Chinese robotics firm Fourier, and it is already developing a second-generation version. However, before anyone starts imagining a robot folding laundry or handling household chores, there is a fairly important caveat: this is still research and development, with no launch date in sight.

According to The Information, which cited people familiar with the project, Meta and Fourier built the prototype, internally called Max, in around three months. The roughly 48kg robot is part of Meta's broader ambition to develop humanoids that could eventually carry out everyday tasks in people's homes.

AI has been making its way into video game development for a while now, but the recent developments have started raising some serious concerns. Popular games are being reverse-engineered with AI assistance, recreated for web browsers, and made playable on platforms they were never released for. Between all that, indie developers have started pulling down their demos over fears of getting copied. Anthropic has now stepped in with new restrictions for Claude Code.

The change was first spotted on X and subsequently confirmed by Anthropic's Addy Osmani. The new instructions prevent Claude from recreating specific existing games, even if they are renamed or presented as original projects. Users can still make original games, work on games within a genre, and use their own designs and assets.
