Lenovo Outlet (MS Office)

Hey,



I have my eye on a Thinkpad on their outlet website and it says that it comes with Windows 7 Home Premium...but there is no mention of MS Office. Is there at least a starter version where I can buy and then input the product key?

Practically all new laptops come with some sort of trial of Microsoft Office, usually 60 day trial OR 25 uses which ever comes first. I believe you can also download the trial version online.

You can't buy Office Starter. It's free.



But it only comes on new machines where it's been preloaded. Good question for the Outlet folks.

Used/Refurbished/Scratch-N-Dent laptops used to include whatever bundled software was originally bundled with them. Doesn't seem to be the case any more, or at least, they aren't listing the software in the description.



Very few new laptops bundle Office.



Price-wise, you're probably better off getting it elsewhere.

You might be able to download from Microsoft



Office 2010 OEM Preinstallation Kit (OPK) Download



Haven't try it myself, since I primary use live office and skydrive to store my document.

The OPK doesn't include Office. Just the tools.

If you're a student you should be able to get the full Pro version from your school for like $60-$70.
