Is this "14 inch" HP laptop too small for an incoming freshman college student?

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

1. i use a 13.3 inch laptop for college and i love it, however, i would shy away from the hp brand, they have the highest rate of hardware failure in the first two years(my Friend is a software engineer for HP) and the worst customer service of the major brands(jd power and associates and consumer reports.) I would recommend this toshiba thats 13.3 inches from best buy. i use it to play civilization as well as my college work.i like the portability of this laptop and that it runs cooler then any laptop I have ever had, it also has a wipe able keyboard which is nice. its 349, i doubled the RAM for about 30 bucks. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Toshiba+-+Satellite+Laptop+/+Intel%26%23174%3B+Celeron%26%23174%3B+Processor+/+13.3%22+Display+/+2GB+Memory+/+250GB+Hard+Drive+-+Gray/1284849.p?id=1218246665112&skuId=1284849
