What are the specs on it? (A lot of gaming laptops come in a variety of configurations.)

A quick google says it's around 6 years old? If so, I'd avoid. Laptops don't age well.

It's a decent laptop, but I'd save up and get a modern laptop with a 950m or higher

What games do you plan on using it for?
The old nehalem based chips have poor 4-core turbo clocks, and the mobility 5870 isn't going to cut it for current generation games at 1080p (xbox one/ps4)

If you want a decent gaming laptop you're going to pay a minimum amount.

No less than $900 if you get extremely lucky and find a deal.

More like $1100 if you get a decent configuration of no less than

a Geforce 960m gtx or AMD equivalent
a skylake processor preferably an i7.
16gb of RAM
and decently fast storage. no less than a 7200 rpm HDD preferably an SSD for OS and HDD for storage.

I'd say that going with a 970m GTX along with most of the above would get you better results.

It's got an SSD and an HDD and a 950m for under $700. but it isnt a true quad. That costs another $100. (But I question the need for a true quad since its only a 950m gpu anyway)
