A Microsoft Office lifetime license plus a MacBook Pro—now $445

Macworld TL;DR: Get a Microsoft Office lifetime license and a MacBook Pro together for only $445. Between software subscriptions and the rising price of tech, you’re almost stuck paying more than you should, even for a basic laptop and core productivity apps. What more people have been discovering is that you can find excellent refurbished computers and older software licenses that ditch the subscription entirely. That’s how you can get a MacBook Pro and a Microsoft Office lifetime license together for only $444.99 (reg. $1,799). The near-mint condition MacBook Pro refurb runs a 2.0GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 that turbos up to 3.8GHz, with 16GB of RAM keeping multitasking smooth and a 512GB SSD making boot-up and file access fast. The 13.3-inch Retina display uses True Tone to adjust color temperature based on your lighting, so long sessions are easier on the eyes. Four Thunderbolt 3 ports handle charging, external displays, and fast transfers from one cable. Grade
