There really is nothing outside the reach of Starbucks. Microsoft and the omnipresent coffee chain have teamed up for an Outlook plugin that will make it extremely easy to send out gift cards and set up meetings, provided that those meetings take place at one of Starbucks’ more corporeal locations. Back when Office 2016 came […]
We have been testing the Microsoft Lumia 950 for nearly a month now and wow, it has been way too long since Microsoft launched a flagship phone. Personally, I have always been a fan of Windows Phone, going as far back as Windows Phone 7. But don’t call this Lumia a Windows Phone — Microsoft considers it […]
Tech,
When we took a look at what Office 2016 had to offer, one of the features we were most excited about was that we’d always have new features to look forward to through Office Update. Being subscription-based, getting Office 2016 through your Office 365 subscription means getting regular updates for Office tools, making the new […]
Not too long ago, we looked at all the reasons why upgrading to Windows 10 is a pretty good idea. Well, we forgot one thing — all the goodies in Office 2016, which will soon be available to Windows 10 for Office 365 subscribers and, eventually, as a standalone product (but if you’re a 365 […]

University students already get a pretty sweet deal with Office 365 University, paying a one-time fee of $80 for a four-year subscription to Microsoft’s cloud-based productivity suite. But, some students out there might be eligible for an even sweeter deal — paying nothing at all. It’s called Office 365 Education for Students, and eligibility depends […]

After five years, Mac users are finally getting a redesigned Microsoft Office suite. Microsoft has shown remarkable commitment to making the new Office redesign available on just about every platform, and now that’s continuing with Office 2016 for Mac. Needless to say, Macs have changed a lot in five years. Microsoft is finally taking advantage […]

After bringing free versions of their Office apps to Android tablets in January, Microsoft only needed to bring Android phones into the fold to give Office a truly cross-platform, cross-device presence. They’re taking that step today, releasing free versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint for Android phones. The apps existed in preview form for the […]
Sadly, for most of us, work doesn’t stop during the holidays. Much as we’d like to take a nice, month-long rest from the grind, there’s still work to be done, and some of that work you’re going to have to end up taking home with you. So, the best you can do is get all […]
Tech,
Just some quick Office news today – if you wanted to get in on Microsoft’s new subscription-based software, but didn’t really need licenses for ten devices, there’s a new plan just for you. Office 365 Personal includes all the same software as Office 365 Home, you just can’t use it on as many devices. Instead […]
Tech,
Microsoft has made a lot of noise about their services over the past year, especially where Office is concerned. We’ve seen Office go into the cloud as a service, and we’ve seen Office apps on just about every platform imaginable. All except for one, that is. Well, that’s finally changed – Microsoft Office is now […]
Tech,
This past Thursday was Get it Done! Day. What? ‘That’s not a real day,’ you say? Well, it is now, according to Microsoft, self-styled purveyors of getting things done thanks to their gift to the world that is Microsoft Office. Microsoft wants to celebrate the fact that, thanks to Office 365, you can get work […]
Microsoft has just released their latest installment of Microsoft Office for Mac. We, at Chip Chick, couldn’t be more satisfied with it. It’s a huge improvement from its predecessor Office 2008 for Mac. Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint have all seen great advancements in features, performance, usability, and compatibility. Microsoft Outlook is a brand new […]
We’re back from CES and at this point we’ve spent almost 2 weeks with the Vivienne Tam edition we recently reviewed. First of all, it was a pleasure carrying around the VT on the show floor. Because it’s so small and lightweight, we didn’t feel like we were schlepping a laptop at all. It also […]
