No warranty since it is being sold by an individual. It would be used for travel and no storage of videos or photos.
Original cost $999 to be assumed unless the seller has the invoice.
Model says Y400.

It should work given the usage you imagine for it.
Lenovo ideapad has only one year warranty and there should be no warranty even with invoice as it is a pretty old notebook.
$280 is over-priced.

Jackie:
I meant the original cost the seller quoted as $999 could be verified if he had the original purchase receipt.
Show me another i7, 8GB, W10, for less than $280?
My only concern would be losing another video card to overheating which happened earlier in the year with an nVidia GPU.

The repair cost of this notebook will be more or less 30% of $280.
If no warranty, forget it as the average life of ideapad is around 5 years and this model was launched in year 2012.

..............to repair what?
This may be used two-three 30 day periods per year. It won't be every day use.

Why you need an i7 at all for your usage?
Warranty is important even for light usage like yours.
You do not need a SSD also as you are not using it frequently.

It is just a matter of luck to buy a notebook which died within three months.

You cannot look into seller's history of trade if you only get one via Craigslist.

Your notebook to be purchased should be a used or refurbished Lenovo IdeaPad Y500 with 128GB SSD drive.
128GB is enough if your usage is no more than ordinary web surfing, checking emails, online shopping, and word processing.
If yes, the wifi card will be a limiting factor as it does not support the newest 802.11ac standard. If your home or workplace is using fibre optic broadband connection and has upgraded the router to a 802.11ac one, you will notice the difference of network speed.
Anyway, your price is a good one if the shop gives you 90 days warranty.
