windows starter is just a trimmed down 32 bit version of windows 7 (and vista). Closely related to Home Basic.

Windows 7 Starter is the edition of Windows 7 that contains the fewest features. Windows 7 Starter is only available in a 32-bit version. The Windows Aero theme is not included in this version. The desktop wallpaper and Visual Styles (Windows 7 Basic) are not user-changeable. Microsoft originally intended to restrict the edition to running 3 simultaneous applications but this limitation was dropped.[6]
This edition is available pre-installed on computers, especially netbooks, through system integrators or computer manufacturers using OEM licenses

What will you do with your computer? Depending on what you are doing Windows Starter may not be a good option for you.

Asus is a better build quality, will last longer with less problems if you tae care of it. Not to mention Asus adds basic and easy to use software to either maximize battery life or increase your hardware performance when you need to use it to the max. That software is on there netbooks to there gaming rigs.
