The "all in one" computers are basically a Laptop with a larger display. They are limited on upgradeability the same as a Laptop. I've installed and worked on a couple of them and all of them I have seen are "Laptops".

Age is not an issue, I'm an "active" 76 year old "Florida Retiree".

I've never been a fan of All-in-One anything, just for the fact that if one component fails, the whole device is unusable, if only whilst under repair.

As for update potential, this would depend on the model involved, to fit everything into a suitable all-in-one package some manufacturers will utilize laptop components, this would mean of course that specialist bespoke components are involved which means that any upgrades are likely to be expensive when compared with "standard" desktop components.

Hope this helps
