Best Microsoft Office deals: Get Word, PowerPoint, and Excel for free
Students using Microsoft Office software on their laptops outside.

Microsoft Office (and Microsoft 365) are still the standards for many businesses, schools, and colleges around the world. While the browser-based, and free, Google Docs and Google Sheets are starting to dig into the market share of these products, in the battle of Microsoft vs Google, Microsoft still holds the gold standard. While there is a Microsoft Word free trial, for most of the goodies we need to pay. And, that need for payment can be quite a drain, as often this is software we need to do work, complete assignments, or submit important documents. As a result, finding Microsoft Office and Microsoft 365 deals is critical, even though it can be a challenging task. Here's where to get a leg up on Microsoft and get Office on the cheap.
Best Microsoft Office deals
Microsoft Office is a pay once, receive once service. You don't have to pay recurring monthly fees to use it, but the software also never updates. For what it's worth, the Microsoft Office packages are labelled "2021", so they're all fairly recent but also ripe for a good deal. With the exception of AI integrations, not much has really changed in the past couple of years when it comes to your basic document creation and these programs should continue to be effective for years to come. Depending on what package you get, you'll get access to different apps, based on the needs of the target audience. For example, Microsoft Office Home & Student 2021 keeps it lean and cool and with Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint being the only apps included.

Here are our favorite deals for the classic Microsoft Office experience:

The Dell XPS is one of our favorite laptop lines out there. XPS laptops come in tons of different options, from smaller, budget laptops that are great for students and casual users, to 17-inch behemoths that pack a ton of power. We've pulled out our favorite Dell XPS laptop deals below, organizing them by XPS 13, XPS 15 and XPS 17.

While the most obvious difference between models is the size of the screen, there are a few other trends you can see as the models get bigger. More room in the chassis means more room for components, so the XPS17 models tend to have more RAM and better graphics cards and CPUs than the smaller laptops. Dell also assumes that the larger laptops will be used by professionals, so the components can keep up with a higher level of processing power demands.
