A T450 would have been a current model 6 years ago, not 2 years ago.
2 years ago should have been a T490 perhaps.  Although for $300, a T450
would make sense for $300 off lease at about 3 years old 2 or 3 years ago.

As for how useful it is, well some people like to play with stuff and
it sure is a cute little computer.
