Capacity is impossible to judge from a picture, and buyers routinely find that something which looked generous will not take a laptop. Putting their own things into it settles the question immediately, which is why so many of these sales are arranged nearby.
What to check in person
Check the corners, the strap attachment points, the zip action and the lining, in that order. Corners go first on a bag that has been used properly, and a lining that has torn away from the seam is a repair rather than a defect.
