I am being retrenched but have the opportunity to buy my work laptop which is a 2 year old HP EliteBook 650 G9 Laptop with 12th Gen Intel Core i7-1255U, 1700MHz, 10 Core, 12 Logical Processor CPU with 8Gb of RAM, 500GB HDD, 15.6" monitor, etc. and comes with a docking station. It will be wiped and loaded with Windows 10 and I presume I will need to look at Office I regularly use Excel, Word, etc. for personal stuff. I haven't bought software in a very, very, very long time and now there are things like Office 365. Is Office 365 the best to go for as opposed to a local version? What are the costs involved?
 
Microsoft are difficult to keep with in terms of what is available but the 365 family sub I have allows me to install locally on multiple machines(and phone). Personally can’t stand the online versions.

Get Office 2019 for R99 from Carbonite. I dont see the point in getting office 2021-> and having to pay R349 every year sub.
Win 11 Pro I got for R69. "Softwarekeys" reseller there.

I would prefer something like this, that is what we have at work at the moment, local versions but O365 accounts so we can use either.

Try the newest MS Office suite then. Softwarekeys guy on Carbonite has a 1 year sub for R269? or so.

I usually search Bobshop.co.za - there's always selling the 365 subscription for a bit cheaper than MS (bought one yesterday for ~R900 and activated without issue).
