Yes! Comes with office. You get Power point, Word, Excel and One Note. I find it extremely useful at work.

It should be able to do Skype, but you might want to do some comparison shopping.

No, it has the usual collection of junkware. If you're strapped for cash download (free) and install Apache Open Office. It's a full office suite (word processor, spreadsheet, presentation graphics) that reads and writes all the Microsoft Office format files. I use it and recommend it. Since it's free it's worth a try.

Yes, this computer is compatible with office, excel, word, one note, powerpoint and all other software you choose to install. However, it does not come with any microsoft office software installed, it needs to be purchased first but you can use any version: office 2007, 2008, 2009 etc...

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

Yes it does, you have to install skype obviously and remember there is the option to download and install the Desktop version (the normal non Windows 8 skype)

Microsoft Office is not included. I found it on Ebay as a download for $45.00. It works fine.

If you're asking that question you really need to do some research on Chrome OS. No it can not run office.

My wife used it when she was in Germany. Skype worked fine, we talked every day. She has 2 gig of ram in it. It only ran slow if she had other programs running in the background. CyberLink YouCam runs well on it too. You can use it for vid email, YouTube and to print selecte photo's. I hope that I was of some help.

No. But you can easily download the FREE "Open Office" or "Libre Office" which are just as good.
