Microsoft 365 vs Office 2021: Should You Subscribe or Buy?

£655.19 inc. VAT
AI-generated summary
For £545.89 ex‑VAT, the Lenovo V14 G2 is a pretty solid “get the job done” business laptop—especially if you’re buying in small numbers for everyday office work. The i5‑1135G7 is still responsive for things like browser-heavy work, Microsoft 365, light spreadsheets, and video calls, and the 14" Full HD screen is a comfortable size for desks that don’t want a laptop-with-a-laptop. Where it wins is reliability and straightforward usability: Lenovo’s business lines tend to feel less fussy than cheaper consumer models, and it’s an easy recommendation if your users need something dependable more than exciting.
That said, I wouldn’t rush to buy this as a long-term “main machine” for power users. With only 8GB of memory and a 256GB drive, you’ll feel the pinch quickly if people run lots of tabs, big Teams/Outlook workloads, or anything more demanding than standard business apps—plus Windows will eat storage fast once you start adding updates and files. If you can confirm it’s upgradeable (RAM at least), then it becomes much more attractive. If it’s a hard cap, I’d say either budget a little extra for upgrades or consider stepping up to a model with more memory/storage to avoid churn at year two.
**Who should buy:** offices, admin teams, training rooms, and anyone needing a practical, dependable UK business laptop that won’t blow the budget. **Who should avoid (or negotiate harder):** users doing heavier multitasking, developers, finance users with large datasets, or anyone who expects it to stay “fast” for many years without upgrades.
