The smaller iPad Pro enjoys free access to the Microsoft Office apps, while the 12.9-inch iPad Pro needs a subscription. Last year, Microsoft revealed that machines with a display at or below 10.1-inches would be classified as a “true mobile device.” The same rule applies to the iPad Pro. According to Microsoft’s rules, devices bigger than 10.1 inches – running on Windows, iOS, and Android – will need an Office 365 subscription to enjoy the ability to edit, print, or create documents, notes The Verge. Microsoft Office will be available free on devices like ASUS’ Chromebook Flip (with a 10.1-inch display), but bigger devices will require a subscription. The ability to run Android apps was already the biggest strength of the Chrome OS, now the addition of the missing apps makes the OS even more competitive. Support for Microsoft Office apps, makes Chromebooks a realistic alternative to PCs running on the Windows and Mac OS. Now, their Chromebooks will be compatible with the occasional Office file they receive. Along with the manufacturers, Chromebook users would also be happy with the apps even if they were satisfied with G Suite. Microsoft’s Office products are the most widely used productivity tools, and missing out on them would have surely cost various Chromebook manufacturers some sales. Microsoft Office Suite apps coming to Chromebooks is a big win for the latter. Again, we don’t have an exhaustive list at this point…,” said Chrome Unboxed.Įarlier this year, when MSPoweruser asked Microsoft about the Office support for Chromebooks, the company said, “While Google Play on Chrome OS is in beta, we are partnering with Google to deliver the best experience for Chromebook users and plan to make the apps available on all compatible devices by general availability.” A big win for Chromebooks
“So, like we do, we checked every Chrome OS device we have and can confirm they all show every Office app in the Play Store ready for download.
