Would this be sufficient for Microsoft Office 2013 and internet surfing?

This PC is definitely sufficient for Internet surfing. And yes, it will run MS Office 2013 - the key question is performance. My observation is performance is completely acceptable.

I don't use Microsoft Office 2013, but I would imagine it would be fine for that. It's certainly a great little machine for internet surfing and simple games.

Not only good for that but we use it to stream movies and hook up to the television via hdmi. It is actually a powerful little machine for the price and size

Hi Christine, this laptop works well with MS Office 2013 and Internet browsing is very good for navigation I always prefer to use Mozilla Firefox. The touch screen also works well, and its battery takes up to 6 hours with the load; is also important to mention that it is quite light.Good luck.

I have it running with Microsoft Office 2010 Home and Student which I purchased separately. It runs fine.

nope...office 2012+ version is the suitable version, as far I tried. Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 was successful.

No. This machine is good for a home office but probably will not be fast enough for your needs.

I have office 2007 ent on it and I'm very happy with the performance of Word and Excel. Using the wifi (N router flashed to ddwrt) and the ethernet port (1 gigabit switch) I happy to report good to great performance. Of course the wifi is slower than a cabled connection. My "Server" is 6 core intel 780i with many expensive hardware upgrades (Real RAID etc..) running Vista ultimate but it should work as well as your home network for simple file sharing. happy to answer any other questions.

I bought one of these two years ago. It was pretty old then....It would do for surfing the web...but that's about all. I wouldn't plan on doing any photo editing or game playing with this computer. I'd probably go for something newer...but it should work for surfing the web and e-mail...but not much else.

This machine should suit your needs if you are not playing top end games, or trying to edit video, or crunch through a lot of graphics. It's most suited to running office production applications, such as word processors, spreadsheets, and e-mail. It's suited to most internet capabilities. It may give acceptable performance on a lot of lower end games, too. Don't expect it to be some kind of inexpensive super machine though. It is a solid office machine.

Absolutely! I've been running it on a Win 8.1 computer for 6 months and haven't had any problems. This is still one of the best basic word processors I've ever used.

I think it is, but to be honest I regret buying it.... Its extremely slow to load, internet takes forever to load pages, and I have a 90 mbps internet connection.... I'd go with something that has atleast 6-8 gb of ram, and 3rd generation i5 processor or better

Not sure. My wife is using it just as a PC "lite" to surf the Net and do a little writing.

I'm sure it will....I downloaded a compatible office-type program from another source and it runs it just fine.

just free trial for MS office 2010 and 2 months of Norton Internet Security. There is some HP stuff but nothing of any real value.

I've actually had both the 32 and 64. I originally went with the 32, found it was missing Office, returned it, and decided I liked it enough to trade up to a 64 since it wasn't a lot more expensive.To be honest, a 32 is probably fine for most normal office work. If you're planning on adding a ton of apps and games, that's what will make it a bit tight. You can add a 64-128 GB microSD and install everything on there instead, move all user folders to it, etc. which would also work.

I run Office 2007 Professional and have no issues at all. It should work fine as the standard memory is 1GB. If you run more than 4 or 5 programs simultaneously, you should upgrade to 2GB RAM. Go to crucial.com to make sure you get the right memory.

Yes, it will. Office 2013 will only look like the windows 8 environment and comes with more features .

IMO the 1000HE will fit your needs. Recognize that MS Office is not included, so you will have to compromise and use Star Office, unless you have the ability to add Office on your own. As long as you are using Word 2003 or earlier, Star Office is a viable solution.As to buyers remorse, so far the device has met and exceeded my expectations, considering its price-point compared to "competing" netbooks. While 9 hours of battery time seems like a far-fetched claim, I'm perfectly happy with the 7 hours or so I seem to be getting.My only criticism has been the sound quality from the speakers. Turning on the Dolby helps, but at best the audio is mediocre. IMO the 1000HE will fit your needs.

Yes, it runs just like a laptop or desktop so you can install MS Office but only by a download, i would recommend getting the Bluetooth keyboard if you plan on doing a lot of word processing.
