Its worth it for the screen size. 17"creens are prone to breaking because of the amount of flex and they will murder that battery. Not that your looking for this too be a power saving beast.

Do yourself a favor and don't buy off eBay, they are all old stock and overpriced.
I'm not sure what country you are in but you should be able to pick up a Laptop with a more modern GPU for the same money.
