I'd recommend Corel Painter Essentials 5 because it has a similar GUI to Adobe Photoshop, tons of brushes and other mediums, and it won't break the bank. I have PE4 & I still use it more than Painter X3 (which I also have). If you plan on doing any serious drawing or painting, PE5 is the way to go.

Hi, Thank you for the question. Our systems will not come with any Office software installed. We install only legal versions of W7 Professional on it. Thank you, Jason

You can download ISO images from Microsoft but cost will not be free. You might be able to download this from ACER depending on when you bought the Aspire. Mine came with Windows 7 and this Office 2010 but the latter would only install as a full version after purchasing serial; otherwise only a limited free version would install. If Aspire was purchased shortly before 8 came out you might be able to get a free upgrade to 8 from Acer. My Aspire now runs Linux Mint and LibreOffice which I like better than Windows and Office. :)

There are apps that are equivalent to or better than Microsoft office, in my opinion. I have WP Office(Kingsoft), Google Docs, and OfficeSuite installed and they are amazing! There are others to choose from but these are the top apps and the best, from my experience. (Some apps do not support some documents, so I mainly use Kingsoft). Hope you found this helpful! :)P.S you may want add Adobe reader, also!

Microsoft's Fresh Paint was the best performing app in my experience. The brush works quite well and realistically, like oil painting. It is fun. Good luck.

Works well with Photoshop. Compatible with Windows 7 & 8. You can probably download a driver for 8.1. It uses four cartridges that can be bought on line or at an office supply store.

To Pat and J.Crosby, In my opinion, do youself a favour and don't go anywhere near Photoshop Elements 6 (PSE6). I paid for an upgrade from an earlier version and have wasted my money. The program crashes continually to such an extent it is unusable. From my googling on the internet this is the experience of numerous other people. There are no solutions I can find on the Adobe site and although these complaints seem to have been posted since PSE6 was first brought out there are no upgrades or patches to fix what are a myriad of problems. A number of people have complained that the program worked initially and then started continually crashing and that has been my experience. I won't be buying more Adobe products until they show a bit of customer care and isuue fixes for this mess. I have downloaded and installed a trial version of Pro Photo X2 and so far it seems stable. PSE6 may have more bells and whistles but that is not much use if they are unusable due to continual program crashes.

It doesn't come with Microsoft Office; you'll have to install on your own. There are some Asus software, notable is the connected standby software which let's you configure how power is conserved. But, hey, this is so high performing that you could even install Adobe PhotoShop or Adobe Premiere and this will handle that fine.

I have an Adobe CS subscription and run PS without an issue. Can't vouch for others, but I've never had any trouble.

I was having many issues with Printshop on Windows 8.1 after the update. I could not get it running after many e-mails back and forth with Printshop support. I gave up after awhile. I recently tried installing Printshop 3.5 Deluxe after more recent updates to both the Printshop program and Windows 8.1 and now it works fine. Of course, both of them will probably say it was the other program causing the issues.

Yes, there are some basic programs, but I don't think you're going to get as much from the tablet with these programs as you could be. I highly recommend the Photoshop Creative Cloud subscription, which is full access to the latest version of photoshop for $19.99/month. Otherwise, there is GIMP, or any number of 3rd party drawing/painting software on the Mac or Windows app store. Also chek http://www.alternativeto.net, search for Photoshop, Corel Paint, Corel Draw, etc.

My computer did not come with Microsoft Office. You will get a free trial, but will have to purchase Office to keep it. I hope this helps.

You can install Microsoft Office 2013 or any other version of Office (2010, 2003, etc.) just like any normal laptop. You can also subscribe for Office 365 if you want but this is NOT mandatory....

I'm on Windows 7 / 64 Bit, but don't scan into Photoshop. It works great scanning into Paint.NET.

This is a very hard question to answer. I assume that you are asking about the comparison between CorelDraw in general and CS6, right? Not between the Student Suites and CS6? Basically, the design logic behind these two programs are very different, on purpose, of course. If you are used to one, it's hard to get used to the other one. It's just like Apple vs. Microsoft. Personally, I think I am more of an expert of Corel than of Adobe Photoshop. I know that Corel can do many easy tricks that are sometimes more complicated to achieve in Photoshop. I can do most of the things that Photoshop can do with Corel, but I am not expert enough to find something in Photoshop that I CAN'T do with Corel. There must be some, but I just don't know yet. Also, I think Corel is easier to use and you can create something similar with fewer and simpler steps in Corel, compared with Photoshop. But like I said earlier, this is a very personal perspective and experience-based. However, considering the prices between these two programs, if you are not a career graphic designer, and I would definitely recommend CorelDraw. On the contrary, if you think you will want to work in a graphic design company, Photoshop is the one to go. It also seems that Photoshop has a bigger support community which is either Adobe based, or supported by Adobe. If you'd like to know more about any specific areas, please do specify and let me know. Hope this helps.
