It comes with Google Docs which works well with Windows Office for that sort of work.
It also loads Google Play Apps so you can use them as well.
I use it and not Windows and it works well for me.
If you are going to use Linux you should get the 16 GB one I have heard it works far better with more DDR. Also you can side load Windows with 16 GB but it does not work that well.

Do note that the keyboard layout does not map 1:1 as the keys are different from a Windows PC. You can manually map the keys, but it is an involved process. The coreboot bios is barebones and the only thing it allows to do is edit boot devices.
You can disable the fw write protect without opening the laptop using a susyq cable.

To get these chromebooks into debug mode you either need to open it up and disconnect the battery or what I recommend is buying one of these dongles known as a SuzyQ Debug Board for a few bucks on ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/316024978790. It'll allow you to plug a usb-c to usb-c cable into 2 ports on opposite sides of the chromebook, one into the dongle board and other direct into the usb-c port and that will get you into debug mode without having to open the case. Here is the website with full tutorial and list of supported devices https://docs.mrchromebo
This Chromebook variant has a 16:10 screen (1920x1200) but only 45% NTSC gamut, whereas the Windows Touch variant has 100% sRGB gamut but 16:9 screen 1920x1080). Note, there's even a 1366x768 TN variant that nobody should be getting unless you absolutely do not use the screen.
Also looks like these are chrome for enterprise. How does that differ for home use? Same OS updates and lifecycle?
Edit: Looks like it is likely Chromebook Plus
