I would prefer this model over its replacement[latitude X1]myself.
Depends on what sort of condition its in,you say its an ex display model,it would want to be in pretty new condition for that price just for the fact that it is an obsolete model,however if it is in good condition and you are going to get the standard 3 year Latitude warranty,seems a more than fair price to me and would suit your business purposes well.
Unless you or someone you know well is very familiar with Mac's I would steer clear.
