    Depends on what you want to do. For gaming it will depend on the games you want to play. The GTX 280M was the current card about 4-5yrs ago so if you're playing games around then it will handle them well. Any new games it will still run but on low/medium settings.

    I think a fair price for that would be ~$500-600.

    How much are you planning on paying for this? For $1000 you can get a new Sager with much better hardware.

    It's relatively powerful, albeit outdated. The cost will determine whether it's worth it or not. You will probably be better off with a different, current model depending on what the seller is asking.

    If you buy a configuration with gtx860m, you will be FAR better off than with this old gtx280m. It will run cooler, have better battery life, better driver support, better framerates, better everything.
