When these netbooks were released I bought an asus. It was the cheapest and only had 1 GB of memory with XP. I have yet to find a program that I commonly use that will not run fully. I think the later releases are faster but I think XP will be better than Widows 7 because of memory requirements
I regularly compile Stellarium from source
I run Photoshop, Adobe Pro, PHD, Nebulosity 2, DSS, etc. The memory intensive programs are much slower but still work.
Battery life depends on the batteries fitted and how you use it. I only get 3 hours with intensive use. Although most of my usage is with the charger running.
