Ignore the bad reviews of windows 7 starter, its not as bad as people say, it's great! If you want top performance, upgrade to the 2GB of ram, I haven't but it is worthwhile if you choose to use a lot of big, power hungry applications. So, all in all, a great device with 8 not 11 hours of battery life. 9 out of 10
This is my laptop and I use it for homework at high school and video editing, it is quick enough and if you give it around 15 minutes it will give you 1080p or 720p HD video with Windows Live Movie Maker. It runs Microsoft Office 2010 (word, excel, onenote and PowerPoint, other program's untested) without any hold-backs, lightning presentations and word processing, excel works relatively well if a tiny bit sluggish and Outlook 2003 is great and fast too. I don't have outlook 2010 to test. Ignor
While I don't own one of these, I cannot find any reviews that say the Windows 7 basc install provides any sort of positive experience. Seeing as you cannot play games on it anyways, I suggest people install Ubuntu or another linux variant and just make sure that Compiz is turned off.

@commanderbige Or just stick with Windows 7 since it's a good operating system.

@RedDwarffs Sure, on a 64 bit machine it is not bad, but on this? Especially with Windows 7 Starter, you could not have a worse OS.
