I am a writer, I am looking for memory and microsoft office already installed. Will this be sufficient?

Nope, you can't run Microsoft Office. You can write Google Drive documents (and export in Word format), or wait until Google fully integrates QuickOffice, or use the Chromebook as a remote screen and keyboard on a regular PC running Office. Oh, and you can use the Microsoft Word web app. The possibilities are documented in http://www.amazon.com/The-Chrome-Book-Fourth-Edition/dp/149095175X

Yes, I am using Windows 7. 6GB ram is more than enough, in fact I think as little as 2GB will work but, of course, the more the better!

Yes. The only thing that WOULD NOT work well on this computer is extreme gaming. Like using tons of Video memory and CPU power. Dealing with Office XP or Office 2003- should work great.

32GB assuming that you have windows 7 pro. Basic limits you on ram available.

It was upgraded to Windows 7 full versionl when I received it. Also has Microsoft Office small business. I upgraded the RAM to 2GB.

I'm sorry to report most of them are rebuilt therefore instead of XP Pro, they have Windows 7. I can highly recommend a word processor that is on the same standard of Word and can export import (almost seamlessly from word). They are "Libre Office and Apache Open Office". Libre Office loads quicker and has quicker response time w/o the hang up that plagues office 2007. the best qualification is they're free and no nagware. My personal choice is Private Firewall, take out windows defender from start up and go with AVAST or AVG. they are on par with paid version. I would buy a rebuilt or reconditioned as the original production run is plague with problems that a rebuilt system has rectified. BY A COOLING PAD FOR IT. Part of the problem is overheat. It is older, very reliable as a reconditioned/rebuilt, rugged, fast. It is duel core. Again Cooling pad and the 2 word processors I mentioned are free. they are so good you can desk top publish with them. The adequate word processing is usually word pad, Jarte, Q Jot, etc. Buy it if it's under 200.00 Go with 4 stars or better.

I think this is the trail version of Microsoft office, but I'm really not positive. This is my husband's laptop, so I haven't been using it, and he uses it most for composing music, doing soundtracks, etc.

Don't know what your question is exactly, but I added Office 2013 for Home and School for about $100 and it works great.

I haven't had that experience, but I am having trouble with the 64 gig memory. I have windows 8 and Office 365 installed and I am out of storage space. Get wierd freezes and messages pretty often now. No way to upgrade the storage either, as far as I know.

Office is not included by default. You will need to add it should you need those programs.

MS Office is readily available as a third party product and is fairly simple to install. It can be purchased with media kit or usually quite a bit cheaper as a download.

Yes, you will have to buy and install Word, Excel, and/or any other software applications you plan to use. This PC comes with a Windows Operating System installed, but a Windows Operating System does not include Microsoft Office Applications like Word and Excel.

Depends on what has been loaded on the computer. Mine had ms office so in my case, yes.

Mine did not include MS Office. It does have a large hard drive, a good keyboard, great screen quality, BlueTooth, WiFi and a SD-Card Reader. Be sure to get additional memory (RAM) for it as this will enhance performance quite a bit. Installing it is quick and easy.I've had mine for about 3 years now. It travels all over the world with me and gets tossed around quite a bit. So far, it has been completely reliable. I'm even considering buying another one just like it. IMHO, this computer is a tremendous value. You can probably find MS Office on eBay cheap if you need it. Or, just download the free Office clone at www.openoffice.org It works fine and is compatible (read & write) with MS Office files. Mine did not include MS Office.

For ram I got Corsair Memory VS2GSDS800D2 2 GB PC2-6400 800MHz 200-pin DDR2 SODIMM Laptop Memory, works fine. Get 4gb sdhc for ReadyBoost feature in Win 7 Some people got SSD but those cost a lot, I'd rather have a bigger capacity hard drive personally (for movies during travel) For bloatware (it's all the stuff you don't need that comes with a pc, like some players or anti-virus that will expire in 30 days), I just installed a new version of Win 7 using usb stick. Here is a good guide on how to do it: http://www.maximumpc.com/article/howtos/how_to_install_windows_7_beta_a_usb_key Otherwise, if you want to keep Win 7 Starter, just do a search on how to get rid of bloatware. Use ninite.com to get few good apps that can clean up your pc. Uninstall all the useless crap, in msconfig turn off everything at Startup except AV prog and trackpad. There are many good guides out there, specifically for eee family!

storage space is llimited....best to review specs. There is a version of word available on line....it is a net book and works best on the net. I think you could print but in no way can I guarantee this. Ithink you are looking at newer version so just check specs and details...

I am running Office 2007 under Windows XP SP3 on a Lenovo S10 with no problem. It behaves just as well as a larger notebook. I do have a 2GB memory upgrade installed but it performed just fine with 1GB before I upgraded.
