Looking at a 2012 Macbook Pro. Would this still be a good computer?

This will be my first Mac. Primary uses will be for work, which include web browsing, email, text (Word, Excel, etc.), photo uploading to various work websites, and accounting via Quickbooks. Don't really do photo or video editing and no gaming.

Wanting a well made computer that will last.
