The default processor is really shit.

No the processor in most laptops can not be changed.
The only thing in this that you can upgrade it the hard drive.

You're better off not trying to upgrade a netbook. If I remember correctly, most netbooks have the CPU built straight into the board.

I'm fairly sure the RAM is user replaceable.

Max RAM in this is 2GB
Really no upgrade room

It's upgradeable to 4gb RAM.

Wrong. Most laptops have interchangeable CPUs, why do you think they sell laptop CPUs on Newegg and other online retailers?

Netbooks on the other hand (like ones with the Intel Atom/Via Nano/AMD Athlon Neo) are generally not interchangeable due to being soldered to the motherboard on BGA packages.

As for RAM upgrades, never trust the official documentation on the maximum allowable memory, because they often lie. I've seen people go at least double over the limit on maximum RAM capacity. The manufacturers may artificially limit RAM capacity for power concerns, or just to keep the market segmented, but in either case it doesn't matter.
