I just want to be clear on what's included, Win8.1 licence, 4G memory, 500G HDD, keyboard + mouse, and onboard wifi 802.11ac. Is this correct?

You can use windows backup to backup your entire harddrive including the hidden recovery partition to a 16gb flash drive. Then use that drive to boot and recover your hdd in the event of a total hdd failure. No need to buy a new OS or send in to Asus

Yes, all you mentioned are included. However, there is no back up CD for Windows 8.1 included. Last week mine got a problem that was not able to start after an update. A system file was missing. I had to send it to ASUS to repair. It has been taken time to get it back.

Correct except for the Windows license. I found no product key and neither any media to reinstall Windows. This version is Windows 8.1 with BING -- a special OEM version, not available for download as far as I know. If you have to reinstall, you'll have to purchase a key and download either an OEM or Retail version, load the iso on a USB drive with a start up disk utility, go into the BIOS and activate boot with USB, then reinstall.

You can download the FREE Belarc advisor software and it will reveal the Windows product key.

All Windows 8, 8.1, 10 versions that are pre-installed on any type of PC DO NOT REQUIRE A LICENSE. That is, the license is buried in the OS and is not easily accessible. So, I you back up the entire hard drive and use it to re-install in case of a hard drive failure YOU DO NOT NEED TO BUY A NEW LICENSE. You -already- bought the rights to the OS to use any way you want on the PC it came with. Don't let any ignorant fools tell you otherwise !

It came with Win 7 installed, which is what I wanted. An IT friend suggested it. Doesn't think Windows 8 and the touchy-feely screen is quite ready for prime time.

Yes, and it is included in the box. It is easy, at the first time you need a driver. Your OS will set it up without your help... only press ok button.Then, at the website, you press download data, and thats all!

This system comes pre-installed with Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit edition along with a full backup copy of the operating system and Asus software packages on two separate disks. USB or blue tooth connected full size keyboards and mice work equally well with this platform.

The one I got from here was 1 TB hard drive and Win 7 Pro x64 ; it is a pretty good machine / I have two other ASUS x64 boxes and all three are great !! I would recommend to anyone wanting a hard working processor and good solid machine.

Yes. It comes with built-in WiFi and Bluetooth. Note, I had trouble upgrading the system from Windows 8, which comes on the computer, to Windows 8.1 because the latest WiFi drivers do not seem to work correctly with Windows 8.1. I was able to fix this by using an older drive version. Just make sure you don't allow the system to automatically update the WiFi driver. Overall, it's a good PC for the price and I'm happy with it thus far.

In the box is: Dell 18.4 Intel i5-3337u tablet/computer, wireless keyboard, wireless mouse, charging stand and power cable. There was some documentation but I don't remember what. The packaging was tight and well protected.

Its ok lol, the wifi adapter comes pre-installed on the motherboard. All you need to do is run the included wires from the WiFi adapter to the antennas (also included). It has everything you need to make the computer wirelessly compatible. Of course you'll need your home wifi network to connect to, but that's it! Both the Wifi and the motherboard work wonderfully. I've been very happy with mine.

Mine came with a Windows 7 Professional installation CD, presumably that was the OS installed before I replaced it with Linux.
