What's the difference between Microsoft Office and Apple iWork?
Just like Microsoft, Apple has its own office software: Apple iWork. You can write documents in Pages, edit spreadsheets in Numbers, and create presentations in Keynote. These 3 programs fit well within the Apple ecosystem, but work less well with Windows software. With Microsoft Office, you work in Word, Excel, and Powerpoint: programs that every laptop or desktop recognizes.
What exactly do you want to use the Microsoft Office suite for?
It's important that you know what you'll use your Microsoft Office suite for beforehand. There are different versions. Do you want Word, Excel, and Powerpoint on your MacBook? Most suites include these programs by default. Outlook isn't included by default in every version, so check this carefully if you also want to send emails with Microsoft.
