Question

Does laptops these days only have a trial windows 7 installed?
yesterday i bought the samsung r580 at futureshop and the lady told that i should buy the package windows 7 because the windows 7 installed in the samsung r580 is only a 2month trial period? is that correct? but should newly bought laptop alrady have the installed windows 7 permanent and not a trial?

Answer 1

If you get a recent model and it's a 64 bit machine it will have a real Windows 7 OS installed. Right now, personally I think you get the best bang for your money w/ ASUS. If you go over ~$600 and get a real laptop & not a netbook they come w/ Windows 7 home premium.



Check 'em out on amazon.com (you don't have to buy from them), and see if you want to return the Samsung.

ON EDIT: There are even 3 models well UNDER $600 that run Windows 7 premium--two ultralights if portability & good battery life is important to you (ASUS UL20A-A1 & ASUS UL30A-X5) and one w/ a larger screen if it will mostly stay home (Asus K50IJ-X3). http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=sr_nr_p_36_0?bbn=565108&keywords=ASUS&sort=price&qid=1283474859&rh=n:172282,n:!493964,n:541966,n:565108,k:ASUS,p_36:2421888011,p_n_operating_system_browse-bin:2287320011,p_n_size_browse-bin:2242799011|2242800011,p_4:Asus&rnid=2421885011&low-price=500&high-price=600&x=14&y=10

Answer 2

It's most likely not Windows 7 that's a trial, but rather, the Microsoft Office suite. Both of them are Microsoft Windows products, so she must have gotten them confused. I'm pretty sure that's just a misunderstanding on her part, but it's best to have it cleared up anyway.

Answer 3

No they are full versions.



They might have trials of office or Antivirus programs but all are full versions of windows



Some net books have newtered versions of windows 7 *they dont have all features* so they can run the OS on a small computer



Also windows 7 home is basic does not have alot of the features that ultimate or profesional version have.

Answer 4

the office package is only a free trial. That Microsoft works, excell power point etc. THe operating system (windows 7) will last. Where are you getting your computer?

Answer 5

It isn't generally installed, it is usually just the free trial. You'll have to pay about $75 in order to get the full version

Answer 6

particular each pc/premade pc equipment must be bought with an entire fledged working equipment completely put in onto it, or a minimum of the choice to have one put in. If this may well be an excellent dealership, i might take it back to the keep and the two get my a refund or call for that an entire OS is put in onto it. Cuz this is in uncomplicated terms a blatant ripoff.

Answer 7

i'm not sure if that is correct or not but, when i got my new dell laptop last winter it came with windows 7 already installed permently.if i were you i would hold off on buying it just yet to make sure she wasn't mistaken.
