Thoughts on this versus a laptop with an external monitor in the same specs?

Pretty sure this thing is also not VESA mountable, so that may be a deal breaker for some.
$50 more for new is a no brainer.
And from Costco no less, definite no brainer.

1080 at 27" is fine for most. Especially the elderly. 2k (1440p) would be preferable.
This has the exact same specs at Costco's and I assume might be costco returns?

You can probably change out the wifi M.2 pcie card if you have wifi problems. They are $17-$20 for Wifi 7 (MediaTek). As low as $4 for Wifi 5 (Intel).
I found a CNET review, and even they say

Tucked behind the display in the stand, the speakers don't have the greatest placement but produce audio that's better than the typical laptop's. There isn't enough bass to get the full effect for music playback, but there's enough oomph for watching Netflix and YouTube without needing to sit right up next to the display. And with a large 27-inch panel, you might want to kick back and watch from a distance.
The IdeaCentre AIO 27 features a basic 1080p webcam. It produces noisy images that get even grainier in low light. It also lacks an IR sensor, so you can't use facial recognition for secure biometric logins and will need to key in passwords. There is a kill switch on the right side of the base just above the power button that lets you kill the power to the camera so you can be sure no one is spying on you when you aren't using it.
If you don't need specifically Windows, I'd say buy Mac Mini M4 16Gb (future proof) and 32 4k screen like https://slickdeals.net/f/18662557-samsung-viewfinity-s7-s70d-32-4k-hdr-monitor-199-99. Or I'd look a mini PC that can be attached to VESA mount and to the display above.
Looks like it has two memory slots, and two m.2 (one NVME, one Wifi).
