Question 1

Hello,
Does this laptop have Windows word, etc...? reason being I'm trying to purchase a laptop for my son going to middle-school!

Accepted Answer

It has Wordpad, and notepad.  Internet ready.  Wordpad works pretty good for typing docs. I got it for my middle schooler and it seems to be working just fine for that.   To get Microsoft Word and such now it's through Microsoft 360 (which is on the computer to opt to buy into...) But it's a monthly fee to use, which can get costly over time.  I'd say for a middle school kid though, it's adequate enough for typing up papers and doing research.  Even a little gaming. :)  Hope that helps!

DVD is on middle of right side, power cord just above it.  Port location for wireless mouse just below DVD.  Left side has four other ports.  Great computer!  This is my second ACER that I have purchased from New Egg in eight  years!  I just purchased another Acer in December 2014 for my son for Christmas!  Couldn't be happier with the quality and price!

Question 8

does anyone else have problem with it logging off the wireless router frequently?  I have to disconnect and then reconnect every hour. The router is within 5 feet of the pc.

Accepted Answer

No I don't have that problem. Sounds like an issue with your modem/router. My smart TV did that. It was the cable provided modem causing the problem.

Question 9

Does this computer have a port to plug in headphones?

Accepted Answer

It does have a headphone jack.  It is located just past the corner on the right side.

Question 10

does it come with Microsoft word or can I add on myself?

Accepted Answer

Ours did not come with Word which turned out to be frustrating later on as we found that we would be needing it.  You can install Word on windows 7, but you will need the software.
