Ultranote II 15.6" spec (Aiming for a low-end laptop that still does the job)

Bronze Level Poster
Would love comments from the community on this laptop. My girlfriend needs a new laptop, main use will be web browsing, some streaming (music/video), some office docs, main storage for music and pictures.

Any tweaks? Should I go with Win7 over win8? Trying to keep cost as low as possible.
