A:Answer MacBooks come with free Apple apps like Pages (word processor), Numbers (spreadsheets), and Keynote (presentations). They work well for most tasks and are already installed or can be downloaded for free.
If you need Microsoft Word or Excel, you’ll have to buy Microsoft 365, which costs about $70 per year for one person or $100 per year for a family plan. There’s also a one-time purchase option for $150, but it doesn’t include updates.
If you don’t want to pay, Google Docs and Sheets are free and work online. For most people, the free Apple or Google apps are enough unless you specifically need Microsoft Office.
