software recomendations for new laptop

[Huskinhano]

I was looking for a low budget laptop and bought a refurbished Asus from tigerdirect which I knew right from the start the low price meant very little software loaded which was fine for me. Why pay for stuff you're not going to use? I don't need to much, just some sort of spell check, since I suck at spelling, power point for when my daugher grabs it to do school work and word which I will use as well as my daughter. OK, what's out there for free, legally?
