Is a T495 a good as a backup linux laptop

I am getting a T495 with 16g ram + no ssd (already have one myself) for around 140usd. The second hand market absolutely sucks where I am from and it's only really with luck that I stumbled upon it.

Should I go for it? I dont own a thinkpad but have used them quite a bit for my jobs (dev). I loved them on the job but never got to buying one until now.

Would be mostly running linux on it and probably be using it to record the screen for some dev/ricing stuff. Plus perhaps running a couple services, but I might also take it on trips.
