Does the microsoft function the way it would on a laptop or does it function like an app? I do not want it to function like an app, I currently us a Polaris app and it stops working have way through my meeting notes and loses my data.

Is a lappop with Microsoft Windows 8.1. You can install app for the new Microsoft start button or normal application for desktop.

I have used it on my phone, iPad, IBM thinkpad all without problems, can't say all computers as I only used this while traveling so only have tried on my thinkpad x220 using windows 7 all without problems,

It come with a limited version. I loaded OpenOffice. It's free and works with all MS apps.

Thanks everyone for all your feedback. It has been very useful. I think I will go with this, in order to avoid compatibility issues with my documents, even though my word and excel docs are not too complicated, but googledocs has been limiting...I think I can handle a boot time of < 30 secs with Windows 8. So, I will shoot for that, and see how it goes... Traditionally, I have chosen to stay away from new Windows releases, to give Microsoft a chance to iron out the bugs... but, it looks like this one isn't too bad... :-)Thanks again.Mike.

Hi Heather,It did not work for me. Computers would not connect. I used an external hard drive instead, provided a valuable back up as well as a transfer. There are still quite a few compatibility bugs Microsoft is working out.

I love mine. I use it for business. It''s been a real work horse. It runs all my business programs, etc. I use my ipad mini to remote into it from the field and with the exception of a smaller HDD - upgrade to a bigger one if you are able - I can't complain. I HATE Windows 8 and refuse to support it. When Microsoft no longer supports Win 7 I will be getting a Mac. I'll never use 8 - ugh!

If you find out, will you let me know? Since getting my new Dell laptop for Christmas, I've bought three (3) Microsoft mice. Each one failed after a couple of months, and I don't even know how to get Microsoft to honor its warranty. The problem seems to be with the antenna/sending unit - have relaced batteries in the receiver, but there's a tiny light on the antenna that doesn't light up one day, and then you're toast. I love these things when they work - am tearing my hair because the third one died last month. Good luck.

I have the rx5915, it has a calendar similar to Microsoft Outlook, since it runs Windows Mobile, also it has a Pocket Excel, Powerpoint and Word. Got it because it was a combination PDA, GPS unit, GPS works very well.

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.

There are free apple apps that do relatively the same thing as office apps - in a slightly different format. Overall they're fairly effecient and can be transferred to microsoft prograns relatively seamlessly from my experience. Not sure about logmein though.

It comes with Polaris Office and that works with MS Office. I also downloaded Kingsoft Office and that works well with MS Office docs.

None what so ever. You can format it to work for iOS or Windows. Many videos online that taught me to switch it to iOS compatability. I believe it came to me formatted for Windows. If not...an easy reformatting switch.

no, ive answered this many times. this is NOT a Microsoft replacement. I believed it, bought it. Not work, then by luck I found an original it worked. There is a web page telling you how to convert. Google it.

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!

I don't have windows 8 running on my office computers. But that is a good question to ask, as soon as I can I will download that, and give it a try. I am curious about that as well, and if I am going to have a problem with my payroll software as well.

hi. honestly, i'm not sure. i haven't used it in a long time - since i was on xp which was 32bit. i'm running win8 64 now but i've never installed the drivers. it's kinda too cumbersome to be of good use as a note taking device for me. but usually, 32bit drivers work fine for 64bit with stuff like this (that's not graphics or resource intensive).

Purchased it a few hours ago. Using it right now on my Win 7 laptop. Had to buy a Bluetooth dongle though. When first pairing and connecting, the experience was "meh.." however I downloaded the windows drivers and an application called "magic Trackpad Control Panel" and suddenly the Trackpad became a little monster. I'm loving the new experience so far (although it took me a while to understand how to drag windows/select text, etc -you double tap but leave your finger in contact with the trackpad on the second tap and then move it around) You can find more info regarding the drivers and app here: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/apple-magic-trackpad-control-panel-adds-trackpad-properties-in-windows-7/ Purchased it a few hours ago.
