Need a new laptop for online school. Word and Adobe reader absolutely needed. Does this work for those???

Absolutely. You can put whatever software you want locally or in the cloud. My daughter has this for college and works great.

Honestly I wouldnt recommend it. I have had so many problems with this laptop, the quality is just not there. Within the first 3 days of receiving it the charging jack on the keyboard just stopped working so now i am only able to charge using the charge jack on the tablet portion. The headphone jack stopped working 2 weeks later. I think its alot more worthwhile to spend the extra cash to get a more reliable computer. Also, hp's tech support is terrible. the guy didnt even have any idea there was a charge jack on the tablet. It was probably the worst buying experience ive had in a long time.

Yes, it works well as I use both of these things. It takes a little while to get used to the new windows but I do like the computer.

Hi there, It works fine with word and adobe. The laptop is not that fast if you need it for work. I strongly recomend it

Highly doubt it. Ask the seller. I will ask my teck husband. Why go back? Since xp is no longer supported, it could be bad to go backwords. 7pro is a good system. I upgraded from xp pro and most of my older adobe programs and office work fine on it. Adobe will not tell you they will, but message board inquires said they work. -somethimes if there is a problem (rare), and that can happen, I just restart computer. That works

I actually just purchased office. When I purchased the laptop it didn't come with office. The little I've used Word and Excel has been good. It didn't slow the computer down at all.

No .it does not . It has a pretty good wordpad . Word cost $140. This computer is pretty much useless. Any Notebok or laptop today is a much better choice

It should. It worked for me into word. I returned the item however, not because of its functionality, but because it only can be installed on one computer.

I would recommend an Office 365 personal subscription for $7.99/month. It's what I use on my Chromebook if I want the highest degree of compatibility with other MS Office users. For my own documents, I use the built in Word Processor and Spreadsheet. They are compatible with Word, but occasionally not perfectly (margin's off, etc). Now if someone would buy the Chromebook to replace by Acer C710, "that would be great (from Office Space)"!

This chromebook has a own application for word but not compatible with ms office, you may have to get documents to go application, that would help you for processing word document

Just to add to some of the above discussions, have have used Open Office quite a bit on my old school iBook and it works great. Best part...it is compatible with office 2007, able to save and open word documents from this program.

Yup. Seems to work just fine. Also, a really nice software bundle is included - eliminates Adobe Acrobat - an excellent PDF Converter and PDF Creator is included. Good luck!

Yes, just make sure you have access to Microsoft Word. My Asus did not come with it preinstalled.

Chromebook OS supports PDF files but does not accept Adobe Reader. Chromebooks require a Wifi connection and Google docs and Slides are very effective subs for Word and PPoint

Well, I used this computer for school as well, online and in class and it worked out perfect for me. I brought it to class with me and used it to take notes and did my online classes as well. I never really downloaded statistics programs on it, but I like how you can split the screen when typing a paper and look at information at the same time.

I found it to be more of something that you could let a young person to learn how to use a PC, or laptop than any thing else. But never attempted to use word processing off or online. So all I can say is good luck.it's really not of a great quality. At least not for my needs. I go to school online and it wasn't much help for me.

No this will not work for school, blogging, yes. I bought this for my 8 yr old son to play games, emails, you tube . You need something a little more advanced for school.

Hi Peter, I have one of these and Amazon asked me to answer your question. It does not come with much of anything except incredible slowness and something in its innards which causes the cursor to wander all over documents. You'll be typing along and suddenly you're in the middle of a previous paragraph and have to cut and paste forward. It can do it right in the middle of a word and begin in the previous paragraph right in the middle of another word which makes cutting and pasting problematic. But its worst problem is incredible SLOWNESS!!!! If you're looking for a small, slow and pesky computer, buy it. If not, spend more money.

I'm sorry to report most of them are rebuilt therefore instead of XP Pro, they have Windows 7. I can highly recommend a word processor that is on the same standard of Word and can export import (almost seamlessly from word). They are "Libre Office and Apache Open Office". Libre Office loads quicker and has quicker response time w/o the hang up that plagues office 2007. the best qualification is they're free and no nagware. My personal choice is Private Firewall, take out windows defender from start up and go with AVAST or AVG. they are on par with paid version. I would buy a rebuilt or reconditioned as the original production run is plague with problems that a rebuilt system has rectified. BY A COOLING PAD FOR IT. Part of the problem is overheat. It is older, very reliable as a reconditioned/rebuilt, rugged, fast. It is duel core. Again Cooling pad and the 2 word processors I mentioned are free. they are so good you can desk top publish with them. The adequate word processing is usually word pad, Jarte, Q Jot, etc. Buy it if it's under 200.00 Go with 4 stars or better.

Why wouldn't you just get OpenOffice or SunOffice? Hell use Google Docs online. All of these do the exact things most people need with Word and cost 0$ ;)
