1) For almost $1,000, what kind of warranty is there, or is available at extra cost (and what is that extra cost)? 2) Does it have Word & Excel?

I haven't found a version of Microsoft word or excel that would work on android. I have really no major problems with most programs. Just with the battery staying charged. Other than that I have it loaded with all types of apps. I tried Polaris Office, it is very close to Microsoft Word, or Office.

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.

You can use Microsoft word. It does not come with Microsoft word. I downloaded it and use it often. You can get office 365 which is I believe 7 dollars a month instead of paying 150 dollars for regular office. Here's the link https://products.office.com/en-us/Word

Hi Ryan,The laptop comes with office trial version which lasts only for 30 days. We have to purchase office separately then.

Office never comes with any computer, as far as I know, so no, sadly. The warranty is the basic one from manufacturer.

The current product description does claim to include: "a full copy of Microsoft Office 2013". When I bought my tablet last November it included Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and OneNote. I got them running with no additional cost and no time-limitation on use.

If I remember correctly, it's a one year warranty. We haven't quite had it for a year yet here at the office, but I can say that it's used very frequently here and we have not had one issue with it yet.

There are not a ton of programs loaded with this computer beyond Windows 7 (which I like a lot). The keyboard is full size but not backlit. I believe there is just a standard one-year warranty.

Yes, it comes with a trial version of Microsoft Office, which you can purchase if you like it. You might also look into OpenOffice...

I purchased word and excel when I bought the computer. Apple is not famous for bundling unwanted programs with their hardware. I suspect that MS Word implies DOS, thus unlikely to work on Apple.

I'm pretty sure there was a one year warranty.....I'm not 100% sure but I'll look for the paper work.

Hi. No it doesn't come with Word or Office. Yeah, the keyboard is just as good as any other so you can type easily on it. It's great as a tablet: it's light, has a long-lasting battery, comes with Windows 8, 64 GB memory, 2 USB ports and 1 HDMI connection (only).
