What are all these partitions on my new laptop - 6

[mrwill]

I just bought an Asus T300LA Transformer and it has six partitions. Any idea what they are all for? Only the OS (C shows up in Windows 8.1. As far as I know, it only has one physical drive - a 128GB SSD

1) System Fat32 100 MB
2) Recovery NTFS 900 MB
3) Unformatted primary 128 MB
4) OS NTFS 98 GB
5) NTFS 450 MB
6) Restore NTFS 20 GB

That seems like a few too many. Is it a refurb or was it bought from a big box store unsealed?

Recovery and restore allocation basically along with file system and a small space to ensure the drive is aligned properly.

So, 1) and 4) are for the OS and 2) and 6) are the system backup.
That means that 3) and 5) are just extras?

3 will be alignment I think 5 could be your boot manager space.
