Notebook Question

Southwestern, OH(Zone 6b)

We're getting my daughter a Dell Notebook for her high school graduation. I've configured this, and I'm wondering from those of you who use Notebooks, is this good? Will this system get her through college at least? I'm shooting for middle of the road, I know I could upgrade the graphics card, but I'd like to discourage her from playing games on it. :)
