[QUOTE="Thymen, post: 1542635, member: 243742"] There are a lot of things to consider when purchasing software/hardware, and for each person the go/nogo balance differs.... I recently purchased the €99/year Home/Student Office 365 subscription, which will allow for installing on 5 systems. I have two sons attending university, and for them this has the advantage that they have every office application available, and the latest version. I later found out about the license for university students (€79 / 4 years, 2 systems), should have bought that one, perhaps. Pages, Numbers, Keynote etc. are not an option, as it requires not only the license but also a MacBook (+ optionally an iMac for a desktop). The SSD-based Toshiba laptops I purchased for my sons were €600/piece, a MacBook Pro would be €1000/piece more. And with two kids at university, I have enough bills to pay already.... Myself, I guess like most people, obtained an iMac not based on economical, but emotional grounds. I wanted one, simple as that. If saving money had been the main objective, I should use our HP workstation, with W7 and Office 2000 until it falls apart. [/QUOTE]
