    In other words they send you the Media in case you crash the preinstalled, So you can restore from the disk (media).

    Yes, Not all new systems come with the Media usually you have to pay for it so you can have a hard copy of your OS, But since alot of new systems come preinstalled with the OS in a recovery partition they dont always include the media. So if it comes with the Media then thats a good thing.
