Does software come with? I need to buy a new computer, and I'm curious about what kind of software comes with a laptop when you buy it through Amazon?

The Samsung NC10 does not come with any MS "add-on" (like Office or Works). There's not any trial versions (i.e., bloatware) included save the McAfee Security Suite (a trial version) is included. So, what you get is just the XP "home" version (with service pack 3). If you need Office, you might want to consider the FREE Open Office software suite from Sun (www.openoffice.com). It handles all Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Access, etc. files beautifully. I prefer it over any MS "office-type" software product MS sells. I got very tired of my MS Word shutting itself down, losing my work in the process. Open Office does not do that and I've been using it for a long time.

No, it doesn't come with software, but that shouldn't be a problem. Windows should recognize it as an IDE drive and install the correct driver.

It comes with some software but it does not come with Office. I had to buy that separately. what kind of software are you looking for?

This product is sold with OR without the software. If you need the software look further down the amazon 1099 page.

Mine came with some REALLY great software! I wasn't expecting very much, this software really surprised me. But, if yours didn't come with the software, there's good FREE software that will get the job done.

Yes, there is a place to download the software, but it is against Amazon policy for me to post it here. Please email us (C&C; Sales) through Amazon and include your order number and I will send you the link.

When you buy the software download you have the ability to log into your amazon purchase library and download it again in the future if you need to reinstall it. Think of similar to the situation if you bought the hard disc where you could re-insert the disk after installation to install again.

Yes it comes with software you have to load onto your computer. Otherwise it won't work.

I wouldn't buy it from the outfit I purchased it from. Nice computer, depends on the software you need. mine came with Basic Office. You won't be sorry with a HP.

I'm not sure what is being asked; but if you are asking what kind of software is required for the installation in the computer, there is none required. Windows will see it and install the programming for it to operate properly.

No, I don't believe the Microsoft Office software (even a trial version) came with the computer - I had to purchase and add it

Even when this is an awesome laptop, it haven't a dvd-cd burner. (actually doesn't have an optical drive). But you can buy an external one!!!

We have the Lenovo in our business and at first I was leery of it not having a cd/dvd drive. I realized that most programs can be downloaded now from the internet. I set this computer up without a disc, even though one is included with the computer when you buy it. However, for the rare occasions you may want to play a cd or dvd, for around $30 you can buy an external cd/dvd drive and just plug it in. Put into the search field on Amazon the words "external cd/dvd" and you get many good ones to choose from.

And to add insult to injury, Amazon just sent me an e-mail with the subject line: Accessorize Your Amazon.com Apple MacBook Pro MB604LL/A 17-Inch Laptop! This e-mail contains items that Amazon recommends that I purchase as add-ons to my laptop. How wonderful! Thanks Amazon! So, here are examples of extra money I can pay you for *now*, since the add-on items are all available, to go with my new laptop which you have no idea when I'll actually have in my hands? Terrific! You guys are the best!

Mine came with software. This ASUS doesn't work. You would be better off trying something else.
