TL;DR: This once-in-a-blue-moon deal nets you a like-new MacBook Air and a lifetime license to Microsoft Office 2021 for only $499.99.

These days, scoring a brand-new laptop with core applications already built-in is akin to finding a needle in a haystack. Usually, upgrading your tech also means having to spring for a license for the software you want, which results in spending more than you initially planned.

If you want to save money on both gear AND software, don’t let a deal like this Microsoft Office Home and Business for Mac 2021 Lifetime License and refurbished Apple MacBook Air bundle pass you by. Not only will you be taking home a refurbished device, but you’ll also be gaining unlimited access to Microsoft’s popular apps. You can get it all for only $499.99.

With this deal, you’ll get your hands on a refurbished 2017 MacBook Air with a grade-A rating, meaning it’s in near-mint condition with zero to barely visible cosmetic marks. Under the hood is a dual-core Intel Core i5 processor and 8GB of RAM that lets you multitask without hitting a snag, and a 256GB solid-state drive that provides ample storage for your files and media. It also packs a 13.3-inch HD display for crystal-clear streaming, browsing, and light gaming, Bluetooth 4.0 for smooth connectivity, a 720p FaceTime HD webcam, and more.

To maximize your MacBook Air, this bundle also nets you a lifetime license to an entire Microsoft Office Home and Business for Mac 2021 suite, which gives you unfettered access to MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and OneNote. Microsoft Office is different than Microsoft 365 because you will not be charged a monthy fee like you would for Microsft 365.

Upon purchase, you’ll immediately receive software license keys and download links so that you can install it to the Mac immediately or any Mac computer of your choice.

The refurbished MacBook Air and lifetime MS Office license aren’t usually sold in a bundle, and it’s hard to say when a deal like this will come by again.

Now may be one of your only chances to get both for only $499.99 instead of paying $1,219.
