Good is a subjective term... Good for what?

Powerful would be more a term for an i5 laptop... rather than good.

Hello Stuckfree,

As rightly pointed out by Patonb, it is a powerful computer. But it also depends upon what exactly would you be using the computer for. If it is heavy gaming and photo or movie editing, it is it a good configuration. But please ensure to have a good amount of graphics card on it.

If you are working on multiple windows, it is a powerful computer in that case. However in general we can certainly call it a powerful pc.

Please write back for further queries.

It depends on your requirement..if you are looking a pc for a normal home use..core i3, 3GB RAM, 320 GB HDD is ok...But is you are a GAMER or work on Graphic applications you will going to need a HIGH_END pc, like with 1-2 GB Graphics Card, core i7, 1TB HDD and so on.....

I7 is not good for gaming.. It's no dfifferent than an i5 at the same speed.
