Is the Microsoft Office a trial version? If so, how much was it to get the full version?

Yes only a trial version. I was able to obtain the full version using the Microsoft Home Use Program (HUP). This is a special program due to my company's relationship with Microsoft. The price is shipping and handling only.

Yes it was a trial 30 days. It was $10 a month or $189 one time fee. Which surprised me as every other laptop we have purchased it came with office.

Yea, it first comes as the preview version for all of them, but once you set up your account they give all the Microsoft office things like PowerPoint, word, and outlook. And it's all free!

It's got an office starter kit, which consists of only word 2013 and excel 2013. But both are full versions, not trial versions.

Microsoft Office is not pre-installed. You would have to pay if you want to get it.

No it is only a trial version of Office that is included. I think it was 30 days free use, then an option to purchase the software will be available, and is very easy to activate the full program.

It comes with a trial of MS Office, but you have to purchase the full version after 30 days to continue using it. You don't lose access to any documents made during the first 30 days.

It comes with office 2010 but I think its a trial version. I uninstalled it and got one from a friend

Windows 7 is not a trial version. It is the Microsoft Office that is only trial version. Earlier you used to get 180-day trial versions. Now, I believe, it comes with fixed number of uses of Office. But the one that you can download from www.microsoft.com/office is a 60-day trial version.

Only a trial edition of MS Office 2010, but you can use the basic features for an unlimited time, I believe.

I hit the M S Office icon and as soon as it said trial version, I went and got "OpenOffice" which does everything MS Office does for free (donation requested) without some nonsense about "trial version" (aka bait and switch come-on)

Windows 8, but Office is trial only. As well as some basic softwares like Norton, Skype etc.

It only includes pre-installed and unactivated Office 365, from which you can activate its 60-day trial. When the trial ends, you can uninstall or purchase a license to continue using it. Here are the license terms and prices on the Microsoft site: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/products/compare-microsoft-office-products-FX104165233.aspx

No, I had to purchase those extra. I bought my machine at Best Buy and I believe it was around $110 for Microsoft office. However, no computers come with this now, only a free trial period. That's because of a lawsuit that was filed against Microsoft quite a way back claiming by having these preinstalled they were creating a monopoly. You may want to look into Google Doc's, they are free and you can do your work on any computer, because they stay "in the cloud". Once you use Google doc ( at least for the powerpoint and word equivalent) you probably won't go back. Haven't tried the excel equivalent. One really nice thing about google doc's is that you can share it, and multiple people can work on the same document at the same time on different computers. Hard to explain,, but really nice to use. Good luck in your search.

I downloaded the 60 day trial version from microsoft (about 30 min for complete office 2007) and then entered my product code from purchased version. Worked fine!

It has a usable version of word, but I installed a full version of microsoft works and word that I had previously.

Yes it does, but there are just trial versions. I don't remember very well, but I think Office was a 2-month trial. No other programs for anything, just some Asus stuff that I never used. And the annoying Win 8 (several things were improved when updated to Win 8.1). Even though, it's a really good laptop, I'm more than happy with it.

I had to buy office separate for the full version. But it does have registration for an demo. I skipped that part and went ahead and bought the full office suite.
