Is this netbook enough for 1080p24 editing, color correcting etc?

The words "budget processor" and "1080p editing" are rarely a good match.
With that said, I have an older laptop with a T7200 processor it edits HDV (1440x1080) just fine.
I think it will depend somewhat on the codec. AVCHD will probably bog it down, but if you transcode to a more edit-friendly codec you will have better results.

Hi
to a somewhat incomplete question I will offer a nessesarily incomplete answer - no.
Whenever you are trying to buy to a pricepoint (I am assuming here) little things can make a big difference in video editing and video processing.
Video is hugely demanding in many ways and in response Intel and AMD have responded with special hardware instruction sets and
on CPU hardware decoding and transcoding for certain CPUs. It gets complicated. You have to really understand how the particular software you want to run
operates. What kind of video is it optimized to work with and what CPU fits that profile - it is a system. Not to mention GPUs, Hard Disks, Memory and much more.
So in a very general way I would say your chosen machine might be minimally okay to edit and color correct some 1080 p24 video on. I believe it would struggle with the newer h.264 based video and would be very much not future proofed.
Some very broad guidelines, exceptions will abound:
Desktops over laptops. Laptops have to manage heat and power. Video makes hardware run flat out hot and power hungry.
Intel over AMD (yes iI love AMD they make great stuff for many markets including some for video) Intel made a decision that video was going to be big and has optimized their CPUs more than AMD for video (yes gross generalization here).
Newer over older. Each generation of CPU is faster - but for video due to hardware processing for video newer can be WAY faster.
If you provide more details about your codec and software maybe I or one of the many knowledgeable people here can give you more accurate help for your situation.
I hope this helps and in any case good luck.

I agree with Blitt, though I would add that AVCHD is, I believe, much more demanding of a processor than HDV. I doubt this computer will give you much in the way of performance at all, doubtfully real-time or at full resolution. Also keep in mind what kind of editing software you're using, whether you are working with multiple tracks, effects, color correction will drastically change your performance/user experience.
