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.

I think you can. Its great for note taking, and you can download the officesuite pro app and create word, excel, and powerpoint. I use this at work and I find it much easier than carrying a laptop around.

Should do! iPad and all iOS are very DOS-LIKe so you need a doc editing app that allows 'Open in" to store edited files in the iFlash app. you can open and edit any doc in Pages which is now free in iOS7 and allows "open in" and plays nice with iFlash.have not tried with Office for iPad

You're kidding, right? Unless you're fixated on limited use aps some people actually have to have a real computer for work - this isn't a toy, it runs Windows which has more programs than any other operating system. Of course, if all you're interested in is Facebook, Foursquare and other little apps any cheap tablet including an iPad will do.

Does not come with or run M$FT Office. Rather, it uses Google Apps which has a word processor, spreadsheet, and slides (powerpoint like) application. You can also use Office365.

Yes. There's a HP app (e-print) that you download (for free!) and you can print from an iPad through that.

You can buy (or rent from Microsoft) versions of Office for MAC. There's also the Pages Suite from Apple in the app store which while short of Office's features, gives you similar functionality

if you have a iCloud account you can. if you don't you need to plug in your iPad using USB port. logging in to iTunes to manage your iPad.

Yes. The tablet comes with an office suite very similar to Microsoft Office called Polaris. It allows viewing and editing of documents, powerpoint slides, and excel files.

The others are correct - the iPads and iPhones use Keynote as the program that mirros PowerPoint, PAges for Word docs, and Numbers for Excel docs. You can e-mail any of these files to yourslef and open them on your iPad in these programs; and you can also e-mail your presentations to otehrs in Keynote, Powerpoint or even PDF from the iPad and everything goes over without a problem. Some fonts will change, and that is about the only difference. Your remote will work just fine if you follow the instructions that come with it to set it up in the settings of your iPAd mini.

Point taken. I can't understand the craze for iPad and really want to make sure I am getting a truly productive tool for my arsenal. Thanks!

Yes. It is possible to use Excel with the ElitePad. It does have on screen keyboard and the cursor can be controlled by the touch screen. However, you may get better control with mouse/keyboard on a spreadsheet.

No. You have to purchase Microsoft Office for Apple in order to use Excel and Word.
