Used Laptop

I've been looking to buy a new laptop for a while now since I'm entering university next September. Currently, my friend is offering his old laptop for $800 dollars which is about 2 years old. I require at least 2 gigs of Ram but apart from that, my requirements are pretty slack. I will be doing light gaming if any, and all it really needs to do is Office, Msn, internet, and the basic tasks. I will probably also be doing some light visual designing and photoshop work. Here is what my friend is offering me:

Dell M60 Notebook
Intel Pentium M Processor 2.10 GHz
15.4in Monitor (1900 x 1200 Max resolution)
NVIDIA Quadro FX Go1000 video card
2 Gigs RAM
60 Gig HDD
DVD ROM / CD-RW
Wireless B/G
Bluetooth
1394 (Firewire)

Extra Battery
2 A/C Power Adapters
Windows XP Professional
Eddie Bauer nylon laptop bag

Is this a good deal or am I better off just buying a new laptop?

Thanks for the input

Yep, for that price you can get a core 2 duo or a core duo laptop from the Dell outlet store.

Check on ebay and you will find out that your friends laptop is worth around $300-$600 range.

I picked up the laptop in my Sig for under $900 and it games very well with the Go 7900GS.
