It looks like a fairly standard spec machine, probably from a Taiwanese or Chinese factory with a badge on it, Clive. Windows 7 Starter is the 'lightest weight' version of Win 7, designed for these relatively low-powered machines. I use a Samsung netbook and have been very pleased with it. I wouldn't want to spend the day on it, but it's ideal for a quick browse or to check emails, even write the odd letter.
If you can, upgrade the RAM from the standard 1GB to 2GB, it's generally a doddle to do, not expensive, and makes a world of difference to performance. When you do anything processor and IO intensive, eg Windows updates, make sure you're running on the mains.
