Janoskiss,
It is only an advert, no test report at all. Judging by the advert, I think it is meant to be used. Up near the top of the page, in bold lettering, it sates:
"WHAT YOU CAN SEE: The moons around Jupiter, The rings around Saturn, Polar Ice caps of Mars and the craters of the Moon."
Polar ice caps - plural?? In a 4.5"??
Down near the bottom it goes on to show some small child peering through the focuser and grabbing hold of the finder (!!) with the text below this photograph stating "Ready to explore the Solar System & night sky".
This is a York advert so it is the same as the one you saw on display and yes, I do agree that it does show people how a Newtonian works. But they are selling it for $249 as a workable, useable, telescope.
Peter.
