Will a 13.3/"14" inch laptop be of great discomfort orr too small for an incoming studious freshman in college?

I have been laptop searching for a decently priced, nice laptop for college in the fall. This will be my first laptop..I did use my brother's handydown 15.6 inch for a short period however, so I'm accoustomed to that screen size. The problem now is I have come across a likabble laptop on sale at Office Depot that has great specs. The only issue of concern is the screen size which is specfically 13.4 inches on the HP site but advertised as 14 inches. Do you think this will be comfortable for me? I 'm scared that I will hate it after spending 5 hours everyday doing school work like writing essays and labs. I will be a Biology major btw if that helps. Portability traveling around campus vs Comfort/nonannoyance during long hours of school work Here is the laptop: http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/product/XH124UA%2523ABA It might be beneficial for me to also mention that this will be the only computer I will have with me at college..no desktop, no extra bigger screened laptop. Again I'm concerned about using a 14 inch screen everyday for long hours though I really like the portablity.

1. Though small, that's the size most college students seem to prefer, that and the next size up 15", just because of the portability. It's easy to hold and it fits into a back pack easily.
