Samsung N130 netbook (sorry bit long)

Hi all 
My nephew got this netbook 18 months ago on a mobile internet contract for his now ex girlfriend to use, it has been used at the very most for 4 hours on facebook. My nephew has no interest in computers at all, he don't even know how to shut one down! He asked me yesterday if I wanted to buy the netbook when the contract is up. I am currently using a 6 month old acer netbook and also uses an asus eee pad. My questions are
1. It is running windows 7 starter, is this any good and would I find it hard to switch from windows xp?
2. If I buy it I will just be putting it away as a spare, he is wanting £50, is it worth it for this?
Have found conflicting reviews of the model on google but am thinking for £50 I can't go far wrong!
Cheers all.

buy it for £50, if you don't like it put it on ebay
7 from XP ?? You will find some differences, but if you've used vista at all you'll find your way round without too much trouble. ......Gettin' There, Wherever There is......
I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple
