TL;DR: Through 27 October, Mashable readers can get a lifetime device license to Microsoft Office 2019 for Windows or Mac for only £19.32 (reg. £177.18).
Whether you’re starting a new semester or bringing your work home with you, it’s important to have reliable software for basic productivity on your computer. That might mean getting a good data organiser, a simple and efficient word processor, or just a good email app.
If you’ve been using Microsoft 365 to accomplish all of that, you might be paying more than you need to. Sure, it does give you the latest version of some Microsoft apps, but the subscription fees aren’t cheap. A low-cost alternative is to get the 2019 version of Microsoft Office for Windows or Mac and get many of the same apps for life. The 2019 version typically costs £177.18, but through 27 October, Mashable readers can get it for a one-time purchase of £19.32.
