Hi,
It really depends on what you're using it for. If you're looking for something that'll get the job done such as surfing the internet, watching movies, and word processing, this is a great computer.
If you're looking for something very portable, maybe a 13" laptop or a netbook may be more up your alley. I use a 15.6" computer and the size is perfect for my coffee table and seldom times, taking it out of the house. If you want something for gaming, you may want to look at a desktop solution. Overall, the 15-16" range is a good midpoint.
Hardware is the other thing. This computer is lpenty fast for what you'll likely use it for. If you're looking to run some insane computer games or do some heavy video editing, I would consider something a little more spec'd out. You can always get a RAM upgrade, but look at what video card you're dealing with.
Back to my original point... if you're looking for basic functions on a computer, this is more than enough to get you through the daily grind. Looking for something more portable? Consider a smaller option. Looking to game/video edit, look for a fully loaded computer and even a desktop (or Alienware) choice.
