The true cost of most tech isn’t the price paid for the item itself. No, the real cost of tech is how much you need to spend in extra apps and other equipment to get what you want out of your tech. And let’s face it — if you want a MacBook, one of the first software suites you’re going to want for that machine is Microsoft Office.

So how about you just pick up both at the same time — and at a ridiculously big discount, to boot? That’s in play with this refurbished Apple MacBook Air and Microsoft Office Lifetime License Bundle offer.

Customers get a fully refurbished and rejuvenated Apple MacBook Air, a high-flying laptop that handles all your computing needs without the premium Apple price. Packed with an Intel Core i5 1.6GHz processor, an Intel HD Graphics 6000 graphics card, an LED-backlit active-matrix glossy display, 8GB of memory, and 256GB of storage space, this laptop is ready to go, full of superior features for work multitasking or just watching videos and playing games in your leisure time.

Plus, the package also includes a full Microsoft Office Home and Business for Mac 2021 License. That features all the most popular apps that are synonymous with Microsoft’s flagship offering, including Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and OneNote, all included.

This tandem including a refurbished Apple MacBook Air and a Microsoft Office Lifetime License is now available at almost 65% off the regular price, now on sale for just $476.
