So, I normally don't use AIO desktop, which in general use soldered RAM/ disks in these days. Yes, you can get extra space on your desk but the handling of the errors are quite bothersome. For laptop, someone may use laptop as a main system, but for me it is substitute, so I don't bother whether it fails or not, and fortunately, I didn't see the failure on my rMBP, XPS, or even chromebook yet.

NUC mounted to the back of the display with an USB/TB3 hub/dock exposed to the desktop is a superior alternative to AIO desktops. One could choose way better displays than what AIO typically has (like EIZO or some curved ultrawide)
