It's not bad, 4th generation Intel CPU, but you need more info about that because from factory they came in various configurations: Core™ i7 Extreme, i7, and i5 processor options, AMD FirePro™ and NVIDIA Quadro® graphics options with up to 8GB* of GDDR5. Those can make a big difference.
I saw on eBay one with i7-4930MX 3.0GHz - 32GB RAM - 256GB SSD - Quadro K4100M 4GB for $765. Can't beat that!
I saw one with AMD Firepro M6100 2 GB much cheaper, but... you get what you pay for.

Yes it will run things but you need to know if you are buying an older system you will be running slower and waiting for renderings to finish over a new system. Is the cost of used worth waiting extra time?
