All in one desktop computers?

If you looked at the innards of an all-in-one it's basically a laptop on a stand. So it'll last about as long as a laptop would. In theory it can last for a good long while. (I have a laptop that's over ten years old that I'll still use from time to time, although I don't expect to play sims or any other games on it.) In practice it'll last until it's not good enough to handle what you want it to do. The one you linked looks fine to play sims and do some mild web browsing, if that's all you're interested in.

Still, looking around walmart/amazon/newegg I can find refurbished towers that are as good for less money. If this is about you wanting to save money, a refurb is a good idea. If you really want an all-in-one because you think it looks nicer without all the desk clutter you're free to go for it. It's just a question of what your priorities are.

How long do all in ones typically last for?

I can't say how long they typically last for but my last computer was an all-in-one Mac that has lasted for 10 years. I replaced it because it was struggling to cope with the Sims unless I had everything on the lowest possible settings which I didn't enjoy and I had saved enough to get another one specced out to comfortably run TS4 at ultra settings for years to come. That old one was never intended for gaming and at first it coped just fine. As more packs and my cc addiction piled up it started to struggle. For normal everyday use outside of gaming it is still working just fine. I have it bundled up in the closet as a backup to this one should anything happen to it.

Ok, thank you! That's more helpful information. I just plan to use it mostly to play the sims 4 and a little web browsing. I use a laptop now and it is very sluggish. Its only 64bit and it started with windows 7 years ago. Have 4GBs with only 3.87GB of room left on it. I just wanted to know if it would hold up well enough for those things. I don't use cc's cause I have not figured out how to get them to work on my old laptop. I don't know if it was the way it was set up with the game that cc's didn't seems to work or if the game itself was just quirky. I might try to find some good build item cc's to try it out on the new all in one computer. I just didn't want to buy it and have it burn up within a couple of months of buying it. I also have had a cc addiction and don't want to go to crazy this time. Thank you to everyone who responded to help! :)

I do also play the Ooblets.

AiO computers cant be gamers
You only must use "official" components aproved by manufacturer

This all in one I'm on is custom specced, through Apple, but it handles the Sims with ease and everything on ultra. It has a 5K Retina display and I run the game at 5120 x 2880 with frame rates above 50fps in crowded areas. So all in ones can be gamers, but not off the shelf ones. Most off the shelf computers from big box stores, in my experience, struggle with gaming and that includes towers. If you want to run games even mild ones like the sims maxed out you usually have to go with custom built. Be prepared to shop around and find what works for you on your budget. I use all in ones because I am short on space and I love huge monitors. If I had a tower I'd be hard pressed to go much bigger than 19", this all in one is 27" and fits the space I have to work with.
