Does the Surface Pro 3 Come with Office?

[tallarob]

I was thinking of getting the Surface Pro 3 for my son for college. He went to Best Buy to look at it and they told him that it doesn't come with Office. Is this correct?
If not, is there any type of student discount?

It does come with the Office suite as well as Outlook. All Surface products do.

Edit: Whoops. Apparently I'm mistaken. See below

It does NOT come with Office. The Surface does, the Pro does not. It comes with a limited trial that would then have to be activated.

This is correct. It doesn't come with MS Office. However, since he is a student you can get Office 365 University which is a 4 year license that allows it to be installed on two computers (windows or mac). This version is only $80 for the four year license, compared to $99 for a 1 year license of Office 365 Personal.

It does not come with Office. Check the Microsoft Store for Education for student pricing.

You can activate the version of Office that is installed by purchasing Office365 Home Premium for $99/year which allows activation on 5 PCs and 5 Tablets or Office365 Personal $69/year which allows 1 PC and 1 Tablet

Or Office365 University for $79 for 4 years for up to 2 PCs, Macs, or tablets.

You can also check with your employer as well. Microsoft has what is called a Home Use Program (HUP). If your company offers it, you can get a really big discount on it. Office Professional Pro 2013 for $9.95. You can install and activate it on up to two devices. Check with your company's benefits manager or IT guy for the program code.

Thanks.

Thanks.

There is also a student discount available on the hardware as well if I remember correctly.

Have him check with his school to see if they offer free (or highly subsidized) MS software. The last two universities I attended allowed students to get a free copy of Win8, MS Office, etc.

I'm a student! There's a 10% discount on both the machine and the type cover; and Office, like has been said, is $80 for four years on two devices.

The $80 for 4 years includes 2 PCS (PC or Mac) and one tablet (iPad)
