I don't understand these things. If you need I/O pins, or non-standard I/O ports (like device USB, as opposed to the usual host USB), then OK. I personally have used them for that, at work. But, if you need commodity PC, then just buy commodity PC. You know, I bought my T450 for $300 CAD 2 years ago, on Black Friday sale if I remember.
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. -- Len Sorensen
