Does this laptop come with a trial of Microsoft Office? Does it make good cds and dvds? Does it work well with iTunes?

No, it has the usual collection of junkware. If you're strapped for cash download (free) and install Apache Open Office. It's a full office suite (word processor, spreadsheet, presentation graphics) that reads and writes all the Microsoft Office format files. I use it and recommend it. Since it's free it's worth a try.

Hi Larry, I don't believe it comes with an Office trial, but I will have to check. I ordered MS Office 2010 when I purchased this laptop so I really wasn't super focused on if a trial version was included or not. R.

No, this does not come with Microsoft Office. You will have to install a valid copy of MS Office. Remember that the OEM copy can be installed on upto 2 computers and the store bought copy can be installed on upto 3 computers. As for installing the DVD disk, see "Loading Programs" on the discussion below.

It does not include office. From what I understand Windows 8 does not have Microsoft Office. Laptop overall is pretty good. My son uses it for gaming once in a while and he complains that it "lags" or is slow for the gaming applications. Not sure about the warranty.

Trial version of Office. I think it includes MS Works without any extra charge.

yes you can burn CDs and DVDs. My one complaint about this PC is that it is shipped with NO information, the Microsoft program that comes with the PC does not come with the necessary product code so you need to call it get it. Other than that, it is a great PC - we love it!

False selma , I was easily able to download Microsoft office on my ibook G4. The laptop has been very beneficial for me when studying, writing papers,etc... definately worth the 99 dollars I spent on it.Sincerly , College student

It does not have an internal cd/dvd drive so we purchased an external-usb dvd drive It does not come with Word/Office, but we have a family bundle of 5 licenses for Office365. We bought 2 of these Gateways and are very pleased with them. They have good components at an affordable price.

Unfortunately No it doesn't have a CD/DVD drive. Windows comes pre-installed, you can always wipe it up and auto-install the windows natively without a dvd . I'm genuinely happy with the laptop using it for about an year now, works great, feather lite.

It has worked perfectly so far for me. I'm running windows 8.1 on an Asus. Some tips; it seems to help if you plug the power cable in before plugging in the USB data cable. Also, windows doesn't come with a program to play DVDs, so you'll need to download one.

Absolutely, I agree with many of the reviews that find it to be the world's best laptop. Great keyboard, and I use iWorks which gives me compatibility with MS Office for much less money, plus it is very easy to use. Keep in mind that if you need a DVD player/writer that it will be external.

Microsoft Office Starter. Has limited usage. Can go to MS site and learn more. Great computer for the price. I compared a lot of lap tops and settled on this one. Very happy with it. Full office version, student edition is about $ 120.00 at Amazon.
