Yes it's so you don't have to manually input everything real easy and nice and fast to register

I found the packaging for the product received: Included was a CD for Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2007 with online activation - an enclosed note indicated that it was for 3. Also included was a key card (labeled 1PC) for Office Home & Student 2013. I downloaded the 2013 to one computer and 1 of the 2007 to another. No problems thus far.

The pack of paperwork that has manual and warranty stuff, mounting screws, allen wrenches for the connections. I don't remember what else, I know a sticker but I can't remember much else I sold it a while ago :-)

I called and spoke to someone on the phone and they told me it has to be an Amazon purchase, however someone else asked this same question and there was a bit of discussion on the topic. I decided to buy the warranty here on Amazon and just give it a shot. They did accept my registration and my receipt from a product purchased somewhere else. I sent them a copy of my receipt as part of the registration and then called to confirm that everything was good to go. Personally, I'd much rather buy electronics here from Amazon whenever possible. The only reason I didn't buy my computer from Amazon was because they couldn't match the student discount I got elsewhere.

I had the same experience. My daughter opened her Barbie MP3 player on x-mas, I tried to register it and found that the registration code had apparently been used already. I spent several hours calling Mattel today only to find that they will have to issue a new code which may take up to a week. However, before issuing a new code, they made a point to tell me that buying from amazon.com is considered a "second hand" purchase. WHAT? The package looked as if it'd never been opened. I hope you get your code without the attitude I had to face from Mattel's tech support.

No it comes pre-loaded with none of that. You can sign up for a free trial otherwise you have to buy it separately, like most Windows computers nowadays.

Basically when they say there is no bloat ware, there is no software that is try to buy/sell software. Internet explorer is there, I do not believe there was any trial anti virus or internet protection. All that was present was the basic functioning windows 8 with basic apps such as mail and messaging. It is a very functional platform and easy to add your own software without having to uninstall all the added stuff

I registered mine online for warranty & kept the box in case of trouble. All of my info. is in a folder but I am not where I can access that exact information to help. Sorry

The pre-installed software is the standard version of works and a spread sheet. This computer has windows 8 and Adobe is still working some bug out. Other software I don't know about. I had to buy word and excel and any games you want you will have to buy and download unless they are free. So this model doesn't come with much software. I hope I answered your question. Jim

Be mindful though, that if you expect to do any kind of upgrading, be it as simple as RAM or HDD, or as advanced as GPU, you *will* void your warranty, there is a sticker over one of the screws you need to remove to get the bottom cover off. And that sticker plainly states that any tampering with it will void your warranty.

You are probably wondering if it includes Microsoft Office (Word, Exce, PowerPoint, etc), it does not. You will need to buy that separately. Personally I would recommend buying an older version (such as 2007) if you do not want to spend more than 150 dollars. It will include a 1 or 2 month trial of an antivirus. After that, I recommend to download the free version of AVG or Avast (rather than spending ~50 bucks on Norton which sucks) . You might also have to upgrade from Windows 8 to 8.1 (don't worry its free). Hope this helped.

The one I got would not allow me to set it up 'my way'. When I change the home page it reverts back to the original on IE and Chrome. Each time a request is made in ANY program, there is a delay of several seconds, then a series of pop-ups. It came with McAfee installed, and it see's no malicious software. I have set up one prior Win 8 computer, with no issues, and two prior Lenova - one laptop and a desktop - both Win 7 with no problems. I bought the Lenova this time due to the good experiences with Lenova. It could be I got the only possessed Lenova laptop, but until I know for sure, I cannot recommend it.

I haven't had any problems yet. I was used to windows vista so the way its organized takes some getting use to. I noticed my Chrome is not working right but the Internet icon is fine. It claims to have its own malware protection built in. No problems there so far. Hope this was helpful.

It's all in the owner's manual. I can't explain it because you need to know the icons, but if you can find the manual that came with it, they explain it pretty well.

It doesn't come with the software. It gives you instructions on how to register and download all the software you need from their site for free. That way, they aren't shipping any outdated software with the product.

Another side note to mention... Nearly any computer you get pre-built from a manufacturer will come with "bloatware." It should be expected.
