Paid Office for larger screen devices

Office 20161

We are seeing a considerable improvement in Office that we all liked thanks in part to the possibility of using Word, Excel or PowerPoint totally free on our smartphone with Android, iOS or Windows 10 Mobile operating system, but this could change if the computer from which we are using it has a large screen.

As explained by a Microsoft spokesperson shortly if we are not subscribed to Office 365 we will not be able to create, edit or print documents in the case of passing the 10,1 inch screen. It also explains that the application will continue to be free for iOS, Android and Windows 10 Mobile, as long as those indicated screen sizes are not exceeded.

The premium options of Microsoft Office will have a cost for those devices with a larger screen, such as most Chromebooks, since, according to the firm, they allow the user to perform more powerful and complex tasks than on devices with a smaller screen size. This seems to be the only reason for payment The one the guys from Redmond want to put Office users through.

Those in charge of publishing this news in 9to5Google They explain to us that devices with a screen greater than 10.1 inches will have an exclusive application to use Office. This will be the turning point in the payment or not for Office, A maneuver that seems a bit delicate to us but that Microsoft is sure to be clear about the step. Within these size limitations if it stays at 10,1 inches some Chromebooks also come in, which seems somewhat surreal to us that first.

    Since I have iPad Pro 12,9 ″ that Office became paid, about 10 months ago ... A shame!
