is this a good laptop buy?

I'm looking for a new laptop for school and I saw this one on craigslist. It's a samsung 9 series. It's $550 but its been on the site for a month. Here's the ad

Samsung Series 9 13.3 LED Ultrabook Intel Core i7-3517U 1.9 GHz 8GB DDR3 250GB SSD Intel HD Graphics Bluetooth Windows 8.1 Professional 64-bit. This computer new retail at $1899.00

Super fast Slim also comes with a a lot of programs:
Microsoft Word, Excel, Publisher, PowerPoint, Outlook, Anti-Malware & Virus Protection

Is this a good pick up or do you have any recomendations for a better ultrabook? Thanks

how old of a laptop is it? will I be able to get a few years out of it?

 

[DeathRabit]

2 years old, but for every days use is very good choice and will serve you many years * this laptop is not for gaming

For normal use yes. It should last a long time.
