Absolutely not. You should be able to get a 17" dual core i7 for just under $1000. Heck, even some quad core i7's have sold for just under or near $1000 (not as common).
About the only upgrade on that machine is the hard drive at 1TB, but hard drives are cheap (and it could be an old, slow 1TB; you can't tell from what you've posted). Maybe if it has an anti-glare screen, that adds some value, but I still saw some anti-glare i7's ending for under $1k on eBay.
