you can download an app called Google Docs which seems to work like word, but it will not allow you to run Microsoft products such as office

I've never been able to load to it. It's a simple word processor like "notepad" (it's only got rudimentary stuff like create and export). Editing (on a four sentence old school display) is virtually impossible. That's why it's mostly used as a fast drafting tool.

Nope, I had no issues and I had a bunch of other programs running (MS office, etc) at the same time. It depends on your internet connection more.

I would highly recomend iWork because it cost less and you can do all the things that Microsoft Word does. Since you already have a macbook download the trial version of iWork. If you need further help with your decision watch some comparisons on YouTube. This was how I made up my mind to go with iWork. I realized the Microsoft Word program on Mac is not the same as it is on Windows. Since I'm going to be forced to learn a new program might as well go with iWork since it is affordable and seems to offer more options than Microsoft Word. Seriously look up the videos on YouTube you are going to be impressed with all the things you can do with iWork.

Trial version of Microsoft Office (inclusive of Microsoft Word) is loaded on. Internet performance is a bit slower than my desktop, but it is not all that bad. Has WiFi connectivity as well as you can plug a cable straight in. I use both but because of the internet performance I tend to use the hard wire when doing video calls

Works nicely with google docs for a word type program. If you need a keyboard try a stand alone bluetooth keyboard they work well for more like computer grade typing

I play farmville2 on mine. I know it came with adobe but not sure of the java, not very computer literate!

It also comes free with Works 9.0 (which includes a basic word processor/spreadsheet).Unless you really really need MS Office, OpenOffice can be downloaded free online.

You could, learning curve is a bit hard. Have you tried Microsoft Publisher? There are a lot of pictures and fonts, plus a fair amount of data. CorelDraw in an experts hands can do these in a few swipes of their hands, but I struggle with Adobe and Corel. Perhaps spending more time with the product my results and ability to move foreword. To me Publisher is much more intuitive with a wide selection of abilities. Best of luck.

I don't use Microsoft Office 2013, but I would imagine it would be fine for that. It's certainly a great little machine for internet surfing and simple games.

Yes, I'm currently using Java 8. It seems to work well with games. Good Luck with your gaming.

You have to buy a DVD/CD writer to add any software to a netbook. Samsung has two that I've looked at on Amazon; the customer reviews are very helpful. Since most netbooks have at least three 2.0 USB ports, and the price of the Samsung writers are around $50-60, I'd get one. Don't know anything about how MS Office runs on a netbook--remember, a netbook is not a mini laptop--you might want to explore that subject first, don't know. Good luck!

I use it for a purchased copy of Express Scribe... It would most likely work for basic versions as the software probably just has less features if it's a free version.
