Does software come with? I need to buy a new computer, and I'm curious about what kind of software comes with a laptop when you buy it through Amazon?

The Samsung NC10 does not come with any MS "add-on" (like Office or Works). There's not any trial versions (i.e., bloatware) included save the McAfee Security Suite (a trial version) is included. So, what you get is just the XP "home" version (with service pack 3). If you need Office, you might want to consider the FREE Open Office software suite from Sun (www.openoffice.com). It handles all Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Access, etc. files beautifully. I prefer it over any MS "office-type" software product MS sells. I got very tired of my MS Word shutting itself down, losing my work in the process. Open Office does not do that and I've been using it for a long time.

No, it doesn't come with software, but that shouldn't be a problem. Windows should recognize it as an IDE drive and install the correct driver.

Hi Patrick, only the bare bones software came on mine. I had to install MS Office and anything else I needed. One point to consider. These are not high end smoking fast laptops and mine had minimal amount of RAM when I bought it. I went to Best Buy and purchased replacement sticks and upped the RAM to 4GB (from the 1GB it came with).

Since it's a used computer, it might come with some preinstalled software. But the base Macbook Pro just comes with Apple software. You'll probably have to buy and/or install an existing Office suite on you own.

No, I don't believe the Microsoft Office software (even a trial version) came with the computer - I had to purchase and add it

I bought mine on Amazon, and I like it a lot. I work on computers, and I will be using this as my main laptop for my business.

When requested the manual for devices, I was emailed a manual for installing software on my PC. The software does not come with the device.

I bought one of the used ones from this listing so I can't speak to what the new one has with it. I don't think they come with any software though. I would highly recommend buying a used one. The used one I got cost less than half of the new version and the only thing different about it was no original packaging. It looks brand new and works great!!!

the computer I purchased from amazon had viruses on it and it didn't work property. Go figure a new machine. Plus there was no access code to use the microsoft office suite even though I have emailed the amazon and the company two times. This warranty didn't cover it b/c it doesn't protect against software issues. If I had to do it over again, I would not buy a computer from amazon. The price might be lower than others but I found it was not worth the aggravation and frustration.

To give you better advise about the software included, I advise you to go to Best Buy or another computer store you trust and speak with the sales person knowledgeable of the HP All In One. It does not come with Office, which is disappointing. Sorry I couldn't give better advise. Have had my HP All In One a couple of weeks, and Love it. Windows 8 isn't so bad either. Just getting used to it.

Optical Drive Mystery: Why do some owners/reviewers of this laptop say they wish it had an optical drive when one is listed in the specs provided by Amazon? The specs say DVD-RW. Strange huh?

Yes, software comes with the unit. It works great; not a single problem with it.
