I purchased this computer to simplify and compensate for the small workspace I now have. The most important part for me was that it came installed with the basic Microsoft Office, as stated multiple times throughout the Specifications. Yes it does, but only for a free 3 month trial. After that there is a monthly fee to use it... or you can use the online version for free, but each time you want to open or create a document, you have to go through multiple screens just to get to the program online. At that point everything works through the cloud. (Even just to open a pre-existing document you can view any of your documents, but cannot edit / add to anything without paying the fee or go through the cloud.  It's very misleading, very frustrating, time consuming, inconvenient and very disappointing. Had I known that at the time of purchase, I don't believe I would've purchased this computer. Its unfortunate, because it is a very good computer and very user friendly.
