Yes, you can download OpenOffice for free. I'm using LibreOffice (more features) on my ASUS Q200E. It does not come with Word or PowerPoint. Also, it comes with Windows 8, and can run Netflix and YouTube videos.

I don't know about Open Office, but I'm sure it will. It does not come with Word or PowerPoint. It does come with Windows 8. It does run Netflix and YouTube nicely. It's a wonderful computer!

No, this does not have office pre-installed. It has the option for Google Docs, a free alternative and office can be purchased.

you should check with the seller since each one might have different software on it. The laptop I bought supports Open Office program and not Word, but it can open Word documents.

I have a similiar one at home I run MS word, on and watch netflix quite often, it runs perfectly, also I can play diablo3 and bioshock plus COD ghost on it perfectly well, so the answer is yes! its a multitasking machine!

Yes, it includes the MS offices with word, excel, powerpoint, onenote, and outlook. BTW, check out the new 8 inch tablet which deserves yournattention on both price and spec. It uses the 4th gen Atom processor with full windows 8.1 and office (home+student). That is a great deal.

A more recent version of OpenOffice might work better. Not sure whether ASUS's repositories offer a more up to date version, though. While OO does a good job dealing with word and powerpoint files in general, compatibility won't be 100%. The word and powerpoint formats are proprietary and closed, OO's ability to read/write those formats is based on guess and reverse engineering. That said, you could try the following workaround: upload the document to docs.google.com (apply for a google account if you don't have one yet) and work the forms online. You can download them back to your computer when finished. Another alternative is to use a "windows emulator" such as Crossover to run MS office under Linux.

You can download ISO images from Microsoft but cost will not be free. You might be able to download this from ACER depending on when you bought the Aspire. Mine came with Windows 7 and this Office 2010 but the latter would only install as a full version after purchasing serial; otherwise only a limited free version would install. If Aspire was purchased shortly before 8 came out you might be able to get a free upgrade to 8 from Acer. My Aspire now runs Linux Mint and LibreOffice which I like better than Windows and Office. :)

YES, you can run the full office suite, work very well, good performance. At $399.00 from the Microsoft Store, this is one of the best win8 tablets in terms of cost/performance.

No, Microsoft Office is a licensed product and doesn't come on this laptop. It might have a 30-day trial, but that's all.

It doesn't come with Microsoft Office; you'll have to install on your own. There are some Asus software, notable is the connected standby software which let's you configure how power is conserved. But, hey, this is so high performing that you could even install Adobe PhotoShop or Adobe Premiere and this will handle that fine.

Yes. Acer Iconia W510-1422 runs under Windows 8 and you can use a version of Microsoft Office, which inludes Word and Excel.

Sadly no, these machines are good only for word processing and email and some scripting. This computer does not have enough RAM to play YouTube (even if you max it with 576mb). If you buy this buy it for PowerPoint and Word and email and light websites like ebay and amazon.

Yes it can run MS office. You may download MS office via internet and install and buy a product key code of the MS office to activate it. Thanks, PCrush

Mine came with Windows 8. I have added MS Office to mine so you shouldn't have any problem.

It comes with Windows 8. MS office is provided but on a short trial period (IIRC, 1 month).

It does have Microsoft Office365 with Word, Powepoint, etc but it's a trial version. You have to buy the full version or download it for free somewhere else.

The most important thing is that Office 2013 is included for free (not Office 365). Then the rest is kind of basic stuff that Windows 8.1 have, like Kindle, Netflix (only works in some countries), Microsoft programs like Skype, Onedrive, and some new additions like Health & Fitness, Food & Drink and Travel apps Basically, it has a full functioning Windows 8.1 OS (one of the first to have it) that comes with basic windows stuff and Office for free. The rest you can easily install, some from the app store (has limited stuff) and most from the web like you did in previous windows versions.
