I know it's windows 8 but does it come with office software or do I have to purchase that separately?

Unfortunately, you have to purchase separately if you order this unit at the price I did.

Sorry Steven, but no it does not. This is just the Windows Operating System (or "OS") that runs the computer and contains the basic tools like Internet Explorer, calculator, Notepad, etc. Microsoft PowerPoint is part of the Microsoft Office Suite and must be purchased separately. On a side note, depending on which Microsoft Office products you want, you might find that purchasing "Office 365", which is an Office 'subscription' that you pay by the month, is a cheaper deal than buying the Office software outright. Microsoft have changed their pricing a bit lately, and you can find out more at http://office.microsoft.com/ Hope that helps! :) Sorry Steven, but no it does not.

It comes with windows. You will need to purchase, as I did, Microsoft office. The laptop also came with anti-virus software.

No, it doesn't. Office Home comes with Windows RT and Windows Surface, but not Windows 8

No Janice. It comes with Windows 8 and all kind of stuff, music photo editor, maps, etc.. You have to buy Office

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

It comes with Microsoft Office starter. You will have to buy the full version.

It does not include office. From what I understand Windows 8 does not have Microsoft Office. Laptop overall is pretty good. My son uses it for gaming once in a while and he complains that it "lags" or is slow for the gaming applications. Not sure about the warranty.

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.

MS Office was not included when I bought it. It had some generic Asus software, I believe. It's been a while and I've uninstalled most of the software it came with and installed MS Office.

I thought it would come with a full version of office -- but it was just a trial version. I think it should have however as it uses a tablet processor and is running windows 8, so it's probably a mistake in preloaded software.

It does have Microsoft office installed. However was very disappointed how slow it is. Not using it at all right now. Wish I could return it.

Hi the computer comes with windows 8. I had to change it to win 7 due to incompatibility with some software at the office so I can't tell you right now which version it came with. It doesn't include office.

Does not come with Office; you can install it if you have it, or download OpenOffice, which is free.
