Would not install even with Geek squad help.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Would not install. Hired Geek Squad they did the same things I had done and said it was a problem for Microsoft. I eventually over three weeks cleaned up the install mess and worked through some Windows 10 issues and completed the install. What a mess.

Died a few weeks outside of warrantee period
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s merely a few weeks outside of the warrantee period and will no longer boot. Asus wont help either. I used to be a hardcore Asus/BB fan; however I’m thinking that a computer shouldn’t cost me over $800 for one year of service.

MacBook Air
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My Mac got one week delayed. Had none of the programs I bought installed. I was told this laptop was good for school work, then when it lagged and I took it to geek squad they told me this was not a good laptop for school work.

Grrrrrrrrrrrraarrrrr
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Will not sync 1 tb of included Onedrive space with microsoftaccount, instead gives me only the basic 5gb. Haven't had time to troubleshoot this but could really use it since computer was purchased for home music production applications.

||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a terrible purchase the person helping me said this would work with the computer that I bought my son but it wasn’t actually compatible.

I thought this had thea actual program
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I felt that the advertising was deceptive. It was not clair that the product was just an instruction training disc. Best Buy was fabulous in their customer service and took it back. Very happy with Best Buy

Good software doesn't help an awful PC
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I installed the MS Office s/w when I first rec'd the PC. But if the PC isn't behaving the way it should, what good is MS Office? Not only does my PC not work, but I can't use the installed Office that I paid $100 for.

a novice's perspective
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am a causal user of the MS Office products dating back several years. I've had limited previous experience with Word, Power Point and Excel both on MAC and Windows operating systems. First: Installation. After logging in to the MS account, it went fairly smoothly although it did take some time at my internet speed to download the program. Nevertheless, it was accomplished on one setting and it downloaded and worked. Second: It's a perpetual subscription, no annual fee or renewal costs although it lacks updates and new features offered on their subscription services. It also lacks Outlook, Publisher and Access applications and it limited to download on just one device. Hopefully MS will continue to offer this type of service for those who need only the "basic" or "essential" applications. Third: importing files from previous version was no problem and it went smoothly. Fourth: It contains the essentials: Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote. My experience with Word, Power Point, Excel was intuitive based on experience with prior versions. The spell check and grammar check functions work well. Summary: It was a welcome update to the previous versions, remained intuitive with new features for those who want to explore and build on the classic use.

Toy Not a Tool
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Version 2019 does more than 200 but is unwieldy. Takes six clicks to do what could her done in one. Lots. Of needless flexibility. Also support instruction on the rare occasion they can be found are obscure and ineffectual.
