Don't want AI in Office? This $20 Deal Days offer for Office 2019 is calling your name
Why does big tech think that improvements always have to mean different? If you’re over having to relearn your essential computer programs every time some tech genius thinks it’s time to switch up, check out this Microsoft Office 2019 for Windows deal.
During Deal Days (think of it as our rendition of Amazon’s Prime Day), you can add the classic apps you love, like Word, Excel, and Publisher, to your PC with the layouts you like for just $19.97 (reg. $229) for life.
With Microsoft Office 2019, you get all the essential programs you’re familiar with in the Office suite to help you create documents and spreadsheets, draft presentations and design graphic art, and even track research and database information. The included programs are:
Even though these are the older versions of Microsoft programs, your files will still be compatible with more recent iterations. You don’t have to worry about integrating with existing Office setups, such as in a work team.
Price, for one. One of the best deals is getting the seven programs included in Office 2019 for under $30. But 2019 beats 2024 on the included programs as well. Office 2024 doesn’t come with Publisher or Access, so if you want to continue using these familiar design and database programs, it’s best to buy an older version of Office, like 2019.
Office 2024 has AI-powered tools that can help you edit or research within the programs. But if you’re not interested in getting a little robot-based assistance, opting for Office 2019 will help you avoid that.
Microsoft 365 also has AI-powered tools because it routinely gets updates to the Office programs as a cloud-based system. However, this means that the layouts of these programs can change at any time. It has monthly fees that aren’t locked in; Microsoft recently raised those fees for the first time in years.
But thanks to this Deal Days price drop, you can lock in a price for life when you buy Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2019 for just $19.97 (reg. $229). No coupon is needed, but you’ll have to act by July 15 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
