Does this tablet have the full Windows OS or is it the RT version? Does it come equipped with Word & Powerpoint or do they have to be purchased?

It has the full 32 bit version of Windows 8. Not the RT version. It also has a 60 day trial version of Microsoft Office which I think includes Word. I do not use those programs, so I cannot provide you with further details. I've had my Acer for almost a year and it's great...no problems at all.

Sorry, I forgot I had received this request! The processor is an Intel so it does use the full version Windows 8.1. The processor is essentially the Z2760 processor however which is the updated Atom CPU originally designed for Netbooks. Reasonably quick. I purchased this for my mother to use (90 yrs) and it has served her well. I have considered purchasing one for our house too, but we have plenty of PCs and tablets around the house at is! I would recommend purchasing a Office 360 license, if you need Office on the tablet. Cost is pretty reasonable and if you have multiple PCs and tablets around, the same license can be used on up to 5 of them. Sorry, I forgot I had received this request!

Microsoft is no longer selling Windows RT on new devices, so there's no need to ask any more.

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).

There are two types. 1- Windows edition- 100% TABLET. 2- Android edition- 50% TABLET. Personally i recomend for you a windows education, because it's a tablet.

Hi Manuel, to answer Your question, no it doesn't come with windows, it runs the Android platform, really is a nice device, turns you T.V into a tablet , comes with a web browser and you can download hundreds of applications from the google play store, The UG008 was the first one I purchased,since I have upgraded , I can go on and on, very satisfied with my T.V Box, good luck you can't go wrong but if you can spend a few extra dollars let me suggest go for it..

No, it does not. Not at the price it was selling for. Windows RT cost around $1000. This Acer tablet with a full Win 8 installed cost less than half. I am still quite happy with this purchase.

Only Windows 8 RT has Office built in. You need to buy Office separately otherwise.

These unit comes with word pad which can open edit and create docs. However I do not use it as I prefer Openoffice. It also has windows journal which is real handy in tablet mode. I include the portable apps platform with over 100 portable apps for your every need. I also set the unit up with a program that gives the andriod or Ipad or W8 type interface. Very useful in tablet mode.Cheers Robeee Waza4u

As Michael L. asked, what OS comes with this Windows 8 Home or Professional? Does it come with Microsoft office (Word/Excel & Powerpoint?)

The RT version of the Win8 OS is limited, and has been essentially left in the dust by developers. You cannot run any browser but MS IE, that is the one big problem, for me. But at the closeout price, of under $300, it was worth it. If you are looking for a "better" pad and/or tablet, more of the latest apps, or simply despise IE, then the Pro 2 will be better.

It has 'Microsoft 'Office Home and Student 2013rt' pre installed, this version of the office suet has Word, Excell, Power point and Onenote. And with the windows update 8.1 you also have 'Outlook' at no cost (this update is free to all tablets which run the RT os)'

It comes with Office Suite which has a word, excel, and powerpoint editor. In my experience it has been fairly decent for a tablet as far as editing capabilities.

The one I purchased was a 32 GB Surface Windows RT (according to the box). I only wanted a small capacity tablet for reading Kindle books, accessing email and the internet on occasion. Cannot tell you if this is satisfactory for running videos, films, etc.

Its full Windows, not windows RT. And BTW, I've upgraded to Windows 8.1 with no issues.

It is just like a regular computer just in tablet form. However be careful of the differences between windows 8 and windows rt. I have the windows 8 version and it is a tablet form of my desktop.

Yes it came with window 8 which take a little time to get used to. It does not have Microsoft office how ever. What in particular do u want to do with the computer as is?

Actually, it isnt. It is Windows 8. Basically it is the Home and Premium version of Windows 8. Found that out the hard way when I tried to join the tablets that I purchased to my corporate network. The OTA update is pretty fast and worked flawlessly though... 80 bucks later I am running full Win8 Pro, an impressive device overall.
