Do MacBook Pros come with word,excel, powerpoint, ect? Or do I have to buy that separate?

I thinking about purchasing a MacBook Pro for school, and I was wondering if I had to buy word, powerpoint, excel, ect. or if it came with it. If word doesn't come with it, is there an apple one that does come with it, like word, but apples software? If it doesn't come with it I really dont understand why I would buy a mac.

MacBook

Macs don't come with that type of apps, so you have to purchase them. There are three options, but there are more if you want to have a look at these applications:


- Office for Mac > http://www.microsoft.com/mac


- Apple iWork, in the Mac App Store.


- LibreOffice > http://www.libreoffice.org


All of them are paid apps except LibreOffice, so you can start testing this application. Macs come with TextEdit, a basic text application that won't meet the requirements you want
