Does this laptop teach you to write short words, too? Or just one letter at a time?

Not sure ours broke within weeks and we replaced 5 times finally sadly gave up on the toy. Not sure if others had better luck but we did not have luck with any of the ones we bought.

Honestly I am not sure. I bought this for my niece and I know she loves it. She likes he games and such on it but I want to say it has whole words, small ones of course but I am not certain. I would have to ask. I wish I could be more helpful.

I found it to be more of something that you could let a young person to learn how to use a PC, or laptop than any thing else. But never attempted to use word processing off or online. So all I can say is good luck.it's really not of a great quality. At least not for my needs. I go to school online and it wasn't much help for me.

I sent this back because of something about the software it had on it. Having used another such laptop: This is WONDERFUL. If you are a fast typist, the keyboard is a godsend. I really miss it. It is very comfortable to work on. It does not heat up like some do. Darn, I would love to have one. For the same price, I bought a desktop from Quill.com (a Dell refurbished for $300, far less than Dell would dream of selling it for. Wish you luck finding a laptop like this one, Dawn.

I do not have to have a keyboard but since I'm currently in college, some of my classes require a lot of typing and I can type faster with the keyboard vs. the touch screen keyboard. Sometimes, I don't feel like carrying around my laptop so I will carry my tablet (with wireless keyboard) with me everyday and leave the laptop at home.

Yes, I use this computer for those things and it does them very well. This computer doesn't come with Word, so you'll have to install that if you have the disc or buy it. Or you can download a free program like Word and install that once you have your computer connected to the internet. (I like Apache OpenOffice suite because their Writer program works like Word, but it's free.)

Good question - you will have to scoot - it doesn't hang over enough for me to recommend it using a laptop. If your writing, reading, or eating breakfast...sure.

I am writing this using the IBM electronic C-1 1022 600 - one. You can see that it picked up IBM instead of Andrea. You have to be a little careful in the way you speak in order for it to work. This was written on a Dell computer using Windows 8.1. I have had some troubles with it while I'm on the net. Usually I use it with word. As you see it does work, and I can tell you from experience. It is a great joy for me. I use Dragon speak and not the Microsoft voice rec. It is crazy to pay what Dragon speak, costs, but if you're going to need voice rec it's worth it. This was written without any corrections from my keyboard. I am writing this using the IBM electronic C-1 1022 600 - one. You can see that it picked up IBM instead of Andrea.

Yes, it came equipped with a limited version of Word, but that was more than adequate for me. It is a great computer, I really enjoy it.

It's what I've been using for taking notes on my ipad for about 3 years now. Granted i dont write as much as i type though. I'm simply not fast enough when it comes to writing notes in lecture. Use it mostly for highlighting on lecture slides, drawing diagrams/graphs etc.

Can you put a word processor on it? I don't want to do all my writing within google docs.

I am using the keyboard to type this note. The keyboard is on my lap, BUT the tablet is not. I do not think it is as easy to use as a true "laptop" setup. But does work very well when a table is handy, even if the table is very small and can only hold the tablet. When using the tablet on the run, I use the pop-up soft keyboard.

I only used it with windows and was not impressed. I bought it to record law school lectures but the mic on my Surface Pro and speech to text in onenote was a much better (and free) solution

I have. Yes, it worked ok ... I found I tended to move slowly on it because it's a pretty bouncy movement for typing, but at least you're moving a bit. I tended to use it when I was reading.

Sorry, based on my personal experience with that tablet you can do almost nothing. I had your issue from day 1, I contacted Acer several times, no help whatsoever. I wanted it precisely to write while traveling as well as for email. No instructions, or manual, or online help. Sorry for you; we both made a mistake buying Acer's tablet.

I no longer own the Asus Eee as we gave it to our Grand-Daughter. I believe it had a form of Word Pad.

Ye. I don't know if Word has any specific options, but the Windows 8 onscreen keyboard has a setting for handwriting conversion that it can insert into any program.

Hi: Actually it does pretty well. Even down to the size of a drivers license, although I'm not sure how many pieces you could feed at one time. It is a very good machine, the software is simple enough. I copied a book, 8.5x11, 50 pages, in a little over a minute. (front and back)
