Bought a new laptop for myself and thinking of purchasing Office 2016.

I'm a pre-U student and there will be many presentations to do.
I only need PowerPoint, Excel, Word. Which one is the best and cheapest that suits my needs? I don't care about the updates, just want the Office 2016 and use it for a longer period of time without having to pay yearly (I want one-time purchase).

Emphasizing it again :
1. PowerPoint, Excel, Word
2. One PC only
3. One-time purchase, not a subscription or need to renew after a period of time
4. Should be cheaper

Which should I buy and how much now?

you can get from Lelong.com.my or even the garage sales. it's way cheaper. They will just send you the key and download, instead of physical box.

after using 365, i never looked back to a FPP, it is a lot more convenient and cheaper, i subscribe to the 5 machine ones, applies to a PC or Mac.
